    Is anyone else interested in incandescent because of the lack of blue spectrum that is even in warm LEDs?

    This is not about the technology a decade ago, this is about what is actually used right now by 90% of the market. Again, I said ON PAPER that LED's do last a long time and yes they can make good quality light... Key word... on paper. Most consumers/businesses are just going to want the...

    "Not everything needs high CRI, and high CRI is no guarantee of good color rendition." (no idea why the quote thing didn't work on this first one. ) Yes, high CRI should be mandatory for just about everything IMHO. Why would you want poor light quality? And I'm refering to "good" high CRI...

    Agreed. Most folks don't understand the details or are not knowledgeable about light quality.

    I'm rocking several maglites with some mods and such. The MLT-25 is my go to thrower. I also just restored a 10 watt xenon ultrastinger and I love it!

    Lord, there are some massive assumptions being made here and you've given me a headache... LED's are not "just flat out better" than Incans. It doesn't work like that... LED's have poor light quality... UNLESS you spend the money to make a quality one. But, will most folks and businesses do...

    Why do LED lights still suck and why do I still use incans or HIDs, your opinions or disagreements please.

    The cooler temps might "look" easier to see, but in reality it makes it harder to see in the dark and blinds the rest of us. Honestly all headlights need to be legally required to be no more than 3000-3500k

    Need some help designing my "perfect" chest/pocket/belt light

    Well I prefer nimh for their durability, and tolerance to heat and other things. I can toss them in the truck and not worry at all. Plus I like being able to use off-the-shelf cells and such. I already have a lot of AA eneloops, and Centura C and D cells too. haha In general, I guess you...
