Just curious, it seems that the Nichia dropins were passionately anticipated when they were not available, and now that they are, my subjective perception is that many or most of you don't like them? :thinking:
This makes the waiting time until I will have received my ordered M61 219B even more exciting ...
My Nitecore MT06MD has a 219B 5000K, a very white white, great pattern without articfacts, maybe emphasizes blues a little much but otherwise renders great in actual use and especially outdoors.
So does my M61N, haven't compared them side by side (outdoors) though.
I like them all, M61N, M61WL, the Nitecore. And the Fenix LD25 (4000K) is also a good outdoor performer though it is the least liked tint on the whitewall, a slightly greenish tint and some artifacts.
When it comes to the light any flashlight produces, the color temperature and tint are my least concern, the color correctness my second, I primarily care about the capability to render the environment "tangibly" (if that makes sense), high-contrasty and 3dimensional, in other words not "flat".
Shame on me that I haven't done a serious direct comparison of my lights in this regard yet, but I reckon it depends somehow on the specific environment as such
(wood, field, desert, jungle) i.e. colors, textures and structures.
