4500K here.
I just can't do 4000K
Way too yellow for me.
4500K is as low I can go.

Waiting for the 5000K SC64d.
As I feared. I'm not sure what they have against more 'd' lights. I have the SC62d which is a great all-arounder... just not enough output sometimes. 4000K is just too warm for all around EDC use.I checked with Zebralight on this and they had this to say.

Waiting for the 5000K SC64d.
Not good in daylight outdoors or in an office which is why I personally want nothing to do with it for EDC. Upon closer inspection I now note all 10 of their 2017 releases are/will be 4000K or 4500K--everything on the warm side of neutral.I like 4000K. The tint variation is not the greatest on the sc5c II but I don't notice it in use.
Maybe you'll have better luck with this one! I expect tint will be similar but you never know! Have you heard anything on when these will be released?I was really unhappy with my SC5c and the SC64c appears to be the 18650 version of that from what I can tell. But I don't think I'll be able to resist giving it a try. [tint] lotto/gambling addiction hotline: 800-522-4700
Mark, I know you've tried using filters. Have you given up on those? I continue to filter every new light I get, and I'm one happy camper.
I just don't like the idea of filters, so I gave up.
Zebralight is killing me with the 4000K stuff! But I've clearly proven my insanity here in the past by purchasing the same stuff over and over, so I guess I'll remain a buyer
I like 4000k, but not yellow 4000k . Can handle a little towards yellow like the 219c 4000k's i have(nice and a change).
My H600Fc III has a beautiful 4000K that doesn't look yellow at all. It's a shame the XM-L2 easywhite only works behind a frosted lens.I agree with that. The 4000K 219B dropin in my Malkoff MD2 is perfect. I call it "gray" since it's basically lacking any tint; just perfect, natural color rendering. You really can't call it warm or cool.
I guess I'm hesitant with the 4000K in a Zebralight since even the 4400/4500K lights from them were usually too yellow. Just bad tints from Cree overall. I have a few that are OK. One was perfect like a Nichia, but I sold it since I didn't like the form itself (huge SC5w OP).
The SC5c I tried was pure awful. Yellow with no real discernible CRI advantage. I want to give them another try, though.
