The sc62 doesnt look that blue in real life... sometimes these white wall shots with cell phone cameras makes comparing more confusing.
Although I do not own the cool-white
ZebraLight SC62, I suspect this is right. Even though your camera sees it as bluish, our brains strip away some of the blue cast through a process called
color adaption. The blue is real, and our eyes see it. Later, however, in our brains, the color cast is stripped away.
In order to better duplicate what our brains see, I have been toying with the notion of increasing the white-balance setting when photographing a cool-white tint. A setting of 5600K or 5700K might do the trick. As yet, I have not tested the idea to see if it works.
On your phone, some sort of auto-white-balance is averaging the various tints. My guess is that the resulting white-balance setting used in the in photograph is closer to 4800K or 5000K than 5600K.
I can't tell the difference of the higher CRI personally...
This surprises me. When I tested the neutral-white
ZebraLight SC62w against the high-CRI Nichia emitter of the
BLF-348, the difference was easy to spot. Perhaps the SC62w, with a CRI of 75 (Ra), is too close to the
ZebraLight SC62c, which has a CRI of 85 (Ra).
One test that usually works is to shine your lights on a light-colored wood surface, such as oak furniture or flooring. You can also try other colorful subjects, such as magazine pages. Pay special attention to the reds, browns, tans, and cyans (i.e., blue-greens), as well as the other colors. In all likelihood, you will notice a difference.
If you have time to try this, please let us know your findings.
