So far i love my flashlight hobby. I love my high quality budget lights that amaze everyone who has no idea about pro flashlights.
Just yesterday i was browsing through the forums when it striked me. I DONT HAVE ANY NICHIA!
Theres hardly any thread not containing the word nichia.
I have learnt cinematography at school and remember measuring color temperatures and similar problems so i do understand it quite well... yet i still dont have any "perfect white" high CRI flashlight.
Funny thing is, some sources say middle of white is 4500K and some 5500K (we learnt at school that eyes can adapt and that white is defined from 4100 to 5000K, at least thats what i think, it might have been one thousand more, internet got me all confused afterwards)
For comparison so far the best light i have is the BLF A6 3D 5000K tint - after i bought a second one i noticed it was just SLIGHTY whiter and the color rendering was a little better, it might have been a LED variation OR the glass variation, since both of them reflected my kitchen bulb in a slightly different color of pink.
(also one had a spring bypass and the whiter one didnt)
Im asking you to help me get a budget nichia.
I am totally willing to solder, its fun. (as long as its cheap)
I Was thinking about modding a Lumintop Tool and getting a nice color + more power if possible (guide me?)
Or maybe a budget nichia flashlight thats already made?
Id prefer smaller flashlights but up to 18650 is still fine. NO TWISTIES, i cant stand those. I am from europe, consider that when suggesting deals from USA with huge shipping prices. under 20$ would be nice, but quality is important
Thank you guys
