This is why I've decided it's time to sell most of my Olight collection. - eviltoast

More pictures in comments. This picture is Olight S1R Baton II (left) vs Rovyvon A23 (right). The Rovyvon uses a Nichia 219C emitter in cool white (about 5700K iirc).)

It’s the same complaint you hear time and time again, emitters with awful tint and CRI. When I was still new all I cared about was Olight, so I’ve amassed a pretty significant collection. It was only when I first tried a Hank light with Nichia 519A emitters that I finally understood why tint and CRI matters.

Also, now that I’ve learned the Anduril 2 UI every other light just feels limiting.

    I guess it depends if you are worried about a bit of tint or not.

    My favourite torch emits red and that’s just fine for me.

      For the longest time I just didn’t consider tint. I figured that was something only for the light snobs to worry about. And then I became one od those snobs xD

      Can you share a pic? :0

        Share a pic of the red light?

        It’s meant to be red. It has a red emitter.

        Olight perun 2 mini. Double tap for red.

        Very useful as a night light when travelling.
