For me, the tint and beam just cannot be matched by even the highest CRI LEDs I've personally seen. Maybe there are others that are close. But something with LED lighting just seems off. I love the way that colors look with a natural incan beam, I love the way that the light has a slight delay when it comes on and turns off. I love melting snow with it. I love going out in the woods with basic tools made of wood, steel, and leather and not feeling that I have anything high tech on me because I have an incan light. Its kind of like driving a muscle car from the late 1960s vs. driving a super high tech import. Is the muscle car really a superior vehicle? Not in almost all cases or criteria. But there's just something about it. Something basic and natural. The way it looks and feels. And the performance that you can get is extremely respectable, even compared with the modern high tech stuff, with such simple components. Its just captivating. I use incans almost exclusively for all purposes except for the very rare occasion when my life is on the line. For those purposes, I use an LED.
