I thought it would be better to make a new thread instead of filling up 47's thread. 
4sevens has once again attempted an assault on our wallets..
with a new custom run of emitters in his Quark Mini series.
Now available, are Warm and Neutral tints!
This makes 4 options between the MiniAA, Mini123, and CR2
Titanium bodied, Cool White Emitter, Neutral White Emitter, and Warm White Emitter. (oh, the CR2 doesn't have a neutral offering that I know of), but, there's also a neutral TI miniAA and mini123!
This gives you 13 different models of Minis, staggering for the quickly growing company, no wonder they moved into a new warehouse!
although, these custom runs give him less profit, and is to benefit CPF members! :thumbsup: Think about that the next time you purchase one of his products.
Alright, let us get to the good stuff,
this is a head shot of the emitters, one with normal lighting, and one with some UV lighting, to show off the phosphor. Warm LEDs are obtained by stacking more phosphor on top of the die (chip), which reduces output, but results in a warmer light, which is more pleasant to some.
a comparison of the tints on some random items I found laying around:
There are 2 images here.. one shot @ 5200K, and one shot @ 3200K..
the camera cannot adapt the same way the human eye can.
that being said, the Warm whites, incan, and neutral, appear in real life as the 2nd group of images.(add a little bit more yellow, though) (3200K)
the cool white and the 036 look like the first group of images (5200K)
apologies for the compression artifacts. They are all different brightnesses, but i tweaked them to be roughly the same to show tint.
below are more various images shot at 5200K -- please note what I wrote of above.
Let us see some pictures comparing the tints to a popular incandescent light -- A surefire P60 module.
The below beamshots are taken @ 5200K white balance.
When I first heard of the warm tints, I was excited as I loved neutral tints -- a tint closer to incandescent sounded even more ideal. :devil:
I personally love the tint.. looks like I'll have to start saving to buy some minis!
Requests encouraged, what do you want me to take pics of?
