The bluish tint doesn't bother me. It is 5600k after all and it's just a cheapie light. I did expect better color rendition though. Compared to my Aeon MKIII and Maratac AAA , both with nichia 219 high CRI emitters this isn't even in the same area code as far as color rendering is concerned. I'll do some comparison pics later this evening.
I have 2 5600K version and 1 3200K version. I have compared the 5600K version to my Fenix HL10 which is spec to harbour Philip 5700K LED. The 5600K C01 looks cooler than the 5700K HL10. When compared side by side with my Eagletac D25A with cool XP-G, they closely resembled each other tint wise. So I'd say the 5600K version is more like 6500K in reality. :duh2: There is also slight purple tint at the center and a warmer corona around. :shrug: The 3200K version is more uniform though. In my case, I find the 3200K version more appealing.
Even though the 5600K version is a bit too cool for my liking, the CRI it shows is still better than the cool Eagtac D25A. If the purple tint is absent from the C01 you guys have, then I'd guess the issue might be the inconsistency with Yuji's manufacturing. Is it really not as cool as 6500K?
