[NLD] I got a headlamp for Christmas and googled “CRI”. Now look what you jerks made me do.

   This is already my third order from Convoy. It’s… becoming a problem.

   3x orange T4 519a 4500k – great light for cars and emergency kits. I HAD to get these for the SAFETY OF MY FAMILY.

   Grey T4 519a in 5000k and 5700k – the whites are so freaking clean with this emitter, I’ll pick one of these to keep so I have a relatively cool option. And I love these hosts, they’re so functional and have a nicely balanced hotspot.

   Orange T3 519a in 4000k and 4500k – trying to pick one all-around 14500 setup, might dedome these, we’ll see.

   Red/Blue/Purple T3s in 219b 3500k. Set to 1%/10%/50% for the kids with NiMH. Inevitably these will be shined right in my face in the middle of the night, so I thought I might as well make that experience nicely tinted.

   S21D 519a 4000k. Trying to pick a CCT I like for outdoor usage, looking forward to playing with this in the backyard. Fortunately doesn’t look very green which is what I was mainly worried about. I think it’ll be just about right.

   Didn’t want to post without beamshots, but unfortunately (1) the wall is beige-y green, which is probably the worst and (2) no white balance lock. Oh well. The photos look pretty close to what I see in person. All told it’s really hard not to like that 519a 3500k, it’s a great CCT and tint.

   Beamshots are always appreciated! (even if they are a bit beige-green)

   Well done NLD post, you know the procedure! If you have an Android phone, I can recommend Procam X Lite to lock the white balance.

   My wife completely don’t get this addiction. She just made me to ask whether you guys use the flashlights for something, or just play with them as I do.

   Straight into the deep end. I love it.
