    Help Replace My Peak Eiger

    Best bet is probably another Eiger. But if you want to try something different, yet similar, maybe look at the ReyLight (Pineapple Mini) AAA/10440. Available with Nichia 219b 4500k R9080, and in brass (which yours wasn't, but is a Peak family value) or titanium. I'm very happy with my copper...

    So hard to find a good high cri light nowadays

    From the freeme release page: Emitter: 3 CREE XP-G3 (6500K) / Nichia 219C (3000K/4000K/5000K@70CRI) / SST20 (4000K) LED Is the 5000k CRI-70 but the other 219C's Hi-CRI? Is the SST20 4000k the CRI-95 version? I don't see it on the LuminTop site yet. FW3A doesn't seem to specify there...

    Very happy with my brace of Hi-CRI EDC lights of various sizes and beams. 3 of the 4 found off-the-shelf in the past month, because of this thread. ReyLight (Cu) Pineapple with Nichia 219B 4500k R9080 Hi CRI EagleTac D25C Clicky MkII with Nichia 219C R9050 CRI-92 McGizmo SunDrop XR-U with...

    So hard to find a good high cri light nowadays

    Have you looked at the EagleTac D25LC2 Clicky with CRI-92 4000k Nichia 219b? 4.5" long with a .9" diameter. 18650 lights don't come much slimmer than that. I've been carrying the D25C2 (single CR123) 219b since it came in. Great EDC platform. Looks like the FW3A on 18650 has the same...

    Battery operated charger for Solar Watch

    Looks cool, and a creative solution to an annoying problem. But, no battery worries is the reason I moved to mostly solar and automatic watches. (Just wrecked my second Skagen trying to swap a battery out.) I have 3 solar Citizens. The oldest one (Titanium) takes and holds the best charge. Just...

    One more shot of Hi-CRI beams. Thrunite Ti (freebie - not Hi-CRI); ZebraLight H53Fc Neutral Hi-CRI; MBI HF-RT with Zoom head and undefined neutral emitter (looks like maybe an XM-L); ReyLight Pineapple 219b sw45k R9080; McGizmo SunDrop XR-U.

    Okay. So, the IMR 10440 charged up quick, and runs just fine in the ReyLight. So, basically, I’m all set but have no idea why the nameless blue 320mAh 10440 that came with the ReyLight won’t run in it, even though it’s just fine in the MBI. Wierdness. Update: I took a few measurements (just one...

    I do! I totally spaced it. I won this guy like 10 years ago. Carried it for about a week, until I realized it likes to turn on by itself and cook my leg... MBI HF-RT Ti? New CountyComm blue 10440 runs just fine in there. Charging up the IMR to see if it'll power the ReyLight.

    Probably not the right place to put this, but nobody's replied on last year's ReyLight thread: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?463977-ReyLight-copper-pineapple-mini-AAA-10440-flashlight-Nichia-219B-4500K-R9080-high-CR&p=5451835&highlight=#post5451835 Got my 219b sw45k R9080...

    ReyLight copper pineapple mini, AAA/10440 flashlight, Nichia 219B 4500K R9080 high CR

    Got my 219b sw45k R9080 ReyLight Pineapple from County Comm on Saturday. Included 10440 was only 50% SoC, so I dropped in an Eneloop. Easy to hit the switch, and a gorgeous tint. Gorgeous copper finish, too. Charged up the 10440. Dropped it in. Still nothing. Is there a trick for running Li-Ion...

    And, finally, the Maratac Reylight Pineapple 219b 4500 R9080 arrived today, as well. (It was hiding - I didn't know it had made it.) 10440 was undercharged, so this is on High with an eneloop. Comparison: Maratac AA Cu, Maratac 123 Cu, Reylight HiCRI, RRT01 219c, D25c MKIII 219c HiCRI, and...

    So hard to find a good high cri light nowadays

    Here's the 219c EagleTac D25c Mk III which arrived today, compared to the JetBeam 219c RRT01 Raptor which arrived yesterday, the McGizmo SunDrop XR-U from 2013, and an M61LHCRI (with XR-E, if I recall) from 10 years ago. RRT-01 is more yellow, and has so much spot it's hard to compare - and a...

    So hard to find a good high cri light nowadays

    RRT01 Raptor arrived early. In preliminary investigation, I like it. Tail switch is a little hard to press one-handed, and color leans a bit toward yellow. But mine, at least, doesn't appear any more green that the Zebralight H53Fc, which I believe has a CRI 93-95 XP-L2 emitter. Still nothing...

    So hard to find a good high cri light nowadays

    Alright, you guys convinced me. I've been trying to ignore all my CountyComm notifications. Also been hesitant on the 10440 since it won't work in any of my other AAA lights that it'll fit into. I already carry a Prometheus Beta QR on my primary keychain, with Fenix or Preon AAA on alternate...

    According to DarkSucks, they selected 219c's with CRI 92+. Based on that, yes. Though not the highest. I have older generation Preon's in Neutral and Hi-CRI. The Neutral is a nice white. The Hi-CRI (XP-G, I think) has a very warm tint, but nice color rendition.
