I am only including lights that can be purchased currently, or have a firm release date. I do not plan on including lights from dealextreme, ebay, low-quality lights, etc. Please post any corrections, lights/manufacturers that I have not listed, new models, or lights that are unavailable/sold out (so I can remove them/update status). When posting lights not currently included in this list I would appreciate if you can provide the following if possible: Manufacturer, Model, LED Emitter Brand & Model, Color Temperature, CRI, and Tint Bin when available. I plan on keeping this updated, thanks in advance.

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

Good idea,

May I suggest Malkoff Devices lights. There are a number of complete lights (Which I believe you can ask Gene to build something neutral or warm, best to email him though), and the turnkey MD2 can be ordered with warm dropins

Currently Available Dropins:
M61W XP-G Colour temp 3700k, 80CRI
M61WL XP-G Colour temp 3700k, 80CRI
M61WLL XP-G Colour temp 3700k, 80CRI

Currently out of stock, but sometimes in stock:
M91W XM-L Colour Temp 3500K, 80CRI
M31W
M31WL (not sure of the existence of an M31WLL

Out of stock and not available except maybe marketplace:
M60W
M60WL
M60WLL (At least one M60WLLF is out there)
M30W
M30WL
M60 MC-E W (Various versions incl. DD)

Available bodies and heads are of course, MD2, 3, 4, VME, twisty, elzetta etc or any surefire that takes p60 dropin's

Of course, maybe dropin's can be a seperate thread... just thought I would put in MD2's with dropin's because they are turnkey




Lastly, would HDS Systems High CRI count as warm? or would it depend on tint / colour temp?

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

I'm not sure if you are going to include the Shiningbeam (including Romisen) in the low quality segment or not but they have several Neutral tint toches available.

Thanks, can't believe I forgot that one. Thanks for adding color temp info as well. I would like to include drop ins along with the complete lights.

I have not included HDS Systems because they do not offer a HighCRI/Warm/Neutral version currently, when/if they do again I will definitely include them. This is where subjectivity can influence what lights I should include and I would like some feedback on this. I am thinking that lights will require one of the following, but this is a general rule: have a color temp under 5000K or have a CRI at or above 85. I'd like this to be a reference list since these offerings are often limited and have a tendency to come and go, so I'm not as concerned with excluding lights but rather including all HighCRI/Warm/Neutral lights.

I'm not sure if you are going to include the Shiningbeam (including Romisen) in the low quality segment or not but they have several Neutral tint toches available.

I wasn't sure about this, but I think for the purposes of this thread I should include them. I am not familiar with their offerings, along with several other manufacturers, so information is appreciated about these lights.

The TerraLUX LightStar 80 is a High CRI light. It runs on 2 AAA batteries and is for sale at Battery Junction. I don't own one.

I own one Romisen with the Q3-5C emitter and while it isn't a med-high end light.. it's a solid little flashlight for a very solid price.

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?

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

For a short time McGizmo provided warm XP-G emitters but he mentioned that he is not going to do that anymore. He might have one more warm XP-G left and when that is sold it is sold. No more.

What he have currently is the Nichia 119T high CRI emitter used in the Haiku and the Mule as well as the Nichia 083B used in the Sundrop.

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

I wasn't sure about this, but I think for the purposes of this thread I should include them. I am not familiar with their offerings, along with several other manufacturers, so information is appreciated about these lights.

Circa 2 years ago - they were - stay with me, the premium brand of the budget CPF group. So premium in fact that they were the only "budget" light included in Selfbuilt's 2xAA roundup...and I believe other battery configuration roundups as well. Relatively speaking, I think they hold the same status.

Solid light- check the specs, not the top of the curve, but sans-specs - very solid lights, and as well-made as any general-higher-end CPF manufacturer. I took mine swimming in Dubai/Egypt (both times oceans), and loads of other places - never a problem. I eventually replaced it as my travel light as:

1.) Outdated emitter...somewhat
2.) Bit simple U.I. (two level, in my Shiningbeam-modified version)
3.) Was ready to commit to Eneloops intead of primaries (with the lower voltages this light drove the emitter at - it was the best idea for primaries - but at this point...meh...I was too addicted to flashlights, I'll just lug around a compact charger like the dork I am).
4.) Wanted something a lot less tankishly-built - thing was bulky, and quite heavy in my man-purse for travel.

Anyway...great brand for what they are. Simple lights, but robust ones, and cheap. Think Surefire-lumens-performance and UI flexibility, with 4sevens reliability. The worst of both worlds, yet...both worlds far above the average light, and awfully good for the price.

Any idea what sort of high CRI emitter is in there?

They are available only in limited edition of 80 pieces. Should it be counted in? So are the Quarks and Preons from 4Sevens.

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

TyJo,
Don't forget the new Lumintop personal series:
-P16
-P1C
-P1A
-P2A
-P2C

All available with a Neutral White R4 XP-G.
They are very reasonably priced. While they may not be widely available, there is an online US supplier for them. I know they're delivering, because I've had my R4 P2C for about a month already.

Also, SolarForce still has some P4 XR-E warm/yellow drop-ins on their site.

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

Don't forget the Xeno e03 XM-L. It comes in cool white, Neutral white, and warm white. I love the color in warm white (looks incandescent but not pukeishly yellow. Looks like a nice video light).

Does anyone know if the XML P60 warm plugins are PWM? I'd like to have them as a backup photo light but PWM doesn't
Play nice with photos.

Ok everything should be updated, let me know if it isn't or if I posted anything incorrectly. I didn't include the High CRI Quark mini AA because it was out of stock. The M31W, M61W, and M61WL were back order/out of stock so I didn't include them either.
