So I looked at Cree's XM-L datasheets. Hmmm. They define "neutral" as 3700k-5000k, and they make 5000k emitters (with 3A-3D tints) in the T6 flux bin.
Indeed they do. :devil:

Not Gonna Buy Cool White Again!
actually I like the tint as it is (as I mentioned the light has got neutral LEDs already), but some cheap color filters could be niceYou're welcome.
FYI, an 85C filter will kill about 1/3 stop of the light (~25% of lumens). Works for me. If you want it even warmer, you could use an 85 or 85B filter (and lose maybe 2/3 stop or 33% of the lumens).
or you could attach the bezel ring to your lens:Another nice thing about photo filters is that they're threaded on both sides, so you can still attach the Eagletac bezel or diffuser. :thumbsup:
I was worried I may not like the high CRI XP-G too since I am quite used to the HDS high CRI but I decided to give it a try and get the Malkoff high CRI M61. I am happy that I did. It is warm no doubt but it is definitely a very pleasing tint. In fact I love it so much I just can't have enough of it.
This seems likely. The product descriptions say "T6", but they also say that the lumens will be lower than normal. Probably they just forgot to update the flux bin in the description for the neutral-white products.Jeff... could it be that the regular cool white Thrunight XM-L is the T6 and the neutral tint XM-L models have a T4 flux bin?
Helmut, I love your pictures and the red-ring L-series idea. LOL.actually I like the tint as it is (as I mentioned the light has got neutral LEDs already), but some cheap color filters could be nice
