List of Currently Available HighCRI, Neutral, & Warm LED Lights

[UpstandingCitizen]

So is the Preon 2 HCRI the brightest HCRI that runs on AA/AAA NiMH batteries? 4Sevens claims 160 OTF lumens, which bests the Zebralight SC51c at 130 lumens.

Those who look for incandescent-like flashlights (i.e. warm tint, 90+ CRI) may be interested by this modded flashlight that uses a XP-G 90 and a flat-regulation driver: "Ultrafire C2 v3 spéciale XP-G high CRI" (in French) by the modder PuissanceLED.

check out the Eagletac-usaDOTcom website. it has tons of neutralwhite stuff (e.g. the Eagtac T20 dropins and others).

I am incandescent-nostalgic although I've never liked their lack of regulation (even in the 1990's).

So I've looked for flashlights that use the Cree XP-G 90 led and the only models I've found are the Armytek Predator (great flashlight that I own), the HDS (that I ordered, since I already have an HDS that I love), and the Moddoolar (that I've never seen in person). Plus the one I mention above.

Others flashlights seem to have either a lower CRI (80 or 85 which is comparable to a standard tri-phosphor fluorescent tube rather than an incandescent bulb) or a higher colour temperature (4000K).

terralux has high cri (90+) too

Interesting -- thanks for the info.

Great reference list, thanks :thumbsup:

Eagletac's G25C2 comes in neutral flavor, I think some of their other lights (D25?) also do too. Now I'm even more torn on my replacement EDC...

Elektro Lumens has warm tints avail for most of their lights, I have a warm Big Bruiser for example.

Re: List of Currently Available HighCRI/Neutral/Warm LED Lights

Tried a quick search and didn't find any info on HighCRI/Neutral/Warm information. I found the Battery Junction dealer page but I'd like manufacturer specifics before I include it in the OP. Does anyone have links?

Not surprising you couldn't find it, as the specs seem to be a background image. I can't believe I wasted as much time as I did to find it, but TerraLux does indeed claim the LightStar80 has a high CRI.

Another one to add would be the Sunwayman R20 D&M (dad and mom) editions. These are the blue and red variants that were released last year right before Mother's and Father's Day.

These lights both use the XP-G R4 neutral white emitter, as seen here on the Sunwayman web site:

Great list thanks to all.
Anybody want to update it and or list lights by battery type?

I have been pretty busy lately, but I should be able to update this list soon (next few days). It makes it a lot easier if people list the: Manufacturer, Model, LED Emitter Brand & Model, Color Temperature, CRI, and Tint Bin when available. I don't plan on including battery type in the list.

Very useful -- thanks.

How about adding another category to the list: forthcoming CRI models.

+ 1 for NailBender modules.

Some of the nicest neutrals I have seen.

I have one. don't know the CRI# but it definitely is a warm, natural color light.

It's a 2xAAA light
