*LIST* of LED flashlights WARM/NEUTRAL/~4000K

[divine]

I emailed Pro Light and they said that the lights came directly from Fenix with the Neutral emitter. The same emitter that is in the TK20. They will accept a paypal payment.

Received this P60 host today, it's FANTASTIC! Great reflector finish, centered emitter, solidly made. Output is brighter than the Cree bin P4 it replaced in the Huntlight FT01 host.

That drop in is actually quite nice, here is a simple tint comparison I did on it:

Camera white balance set to daylight.
In reality the WA is pretty purple and the WD is slightly blue.

There is word on the street of limited editions of the following:

NiteCore Extreme Neutral white were assembled in NiteCore factory. Cree is 5A Q3, but more than 150 Torch lumens. Or, approx 90% of Q5 cool White.

Wolf-eyes MC-Eagle-II has factory assembled 4A 320lm at 350mA Cree MC-E.


I hope by posting this, I don't lose my chance to get the Nex.

Thanks for the rumors. I thought things were getting stagnant there for a while.

FYI, I just received 3 Lummi lights with neutral white emitters. Wee NS, Raw NS, Raw Al. None of them are as warm as the rest of my 5A lights. Perhaps they are tint range 3 or 4? Yes, I like them better than my old "cool" Lummis. :twothumbs

I got a 3A modded KX1 head, and it looks pinkish next to 5A's. I'm thinking 5A is a yellowish tint compared to the other ones near it.

I'm going to pm you a url.

 

[EngrPaul]

Nitecore Extreme (ProLight) added 🙂

Can anyone here give a firsthand comparison between the xA series of emitters? I have a 5A but am somewhat curious about the 6A and 7A in particular.

 

[divine]

I have some 5A's and one 3A, it's not specifically what you're asking for. My 3A looks pinkish next to 5A's, 5A seems like a purely yellowish tint.


I was wondering about the Clicky, as far as I know, Henry never made a light with a Cree emitter in it. I read yesterday that the Neutral Emitter Clicky actually uses a 4000K Golden Dragon emitter! I'm very interested in seeing the output of a Neutral Golden Dragon. (Maybe not $240 worth of interested, but still interested!)

The Neutral Emitter Nitecore Extreme uses a Cree Q3 emitter. I wonder if we'll get to see a Nitecore Extreme or EX10 or D10 with a neutral Golden Dragon emitter.

I suppose I'm waiting to see an affordable Neutral Golden Dragon light. If I didn't like the emitter, the clicky would be a big mistake to find that out on. =\

I've been looking for a warmer light, and tried some Incans (Lumen Factory, FiveMega). I got the DX 12501 Q2 5A module a few days ago. The tint is really good, and while the output doesn't come close to the LF IMR-9, it is fine for my needs around the house and for walks. It had some noticeable rings, but I cut a quarter-sized piece of diffusion plastic for the 6P, and that gave me just the right mix of flood and throw. Diffusion sheet was $2, so not bad for a total of $15. I know that I won't be able to resist getting a Malkoff eventually. It will be interesting comparing it to this set-up.

Added Wolf-Eyes M-CE

 

[Scott Packard]

Does anybody know about the configuration of the Wolf-Eyes (pudgy 3 cell like the Storm, or)?
I tried to send a PM to Mike@PTS but got:

I noticed after turning off a neutral white light, the emitter glows a salmon color. The warmer the emitter, the stronger the glow. 😱oo:

 

[carrier82]

What about this DX drop-in (sku.17592)? They say it has color temperature 2600K ~ 3700K but wasn't WH supposed to be cool?

I just caught this thread from a Google search, and noticed my handy-dandy Inova T1 with warm-tinted K2 TFFC was not on the list. On its behalf, I would like to formally petition for its admission.

That's a cool white emitter from the datasheets.

Am I missing something 😕

 

[EngrPaul]

Here's the overall Lux binning.

 

[LEDAdd1ct]

Are the criteria that it appears warm, or that it is defined as *being* warm? Mine has a very warm, golden tint to it, and there are many reports from others with the same experience. This is with the new, 2008 model.

Now I am confused.

 

[EngrPaul]

The criteria is that the manufacturer of the emitter specifies the emitter is "neutral" or "warm".

This guarantees that the emitter has phosphor that is intended to increase the red spectrum and reduce the blue.

If the emitter is classified as "cool white", it doesn't make the list. 😱

When you compare a neutral white directly against anything in the cool white spectrum, you'll see the difference. 😀

 

[LEDAdd1ct]

Okay, I am trying to understand:

1) To avoid subjectively deciding which flashlight/pill *appears* "warmer," the sole criterion is the manufacturer's stated specification?

2) When I compare my Inova T1 and my Dereelight 5A Q3, they both seem "warmer" than my other lights. But the list is for those lights with emitters *specified* by the manufacturer as being warm...? Or is this incorrect. 😕

Sidenote: I love how on CPF you just hit F5 and see how quickly people respond. Like a real, live conversation with other light addicts!
