Yeah let us know your experience with your fine choices.
I look forward to your Happy Impressions of your options ;-)
Will do. I've got a lot on my plate at work coming up next week so it may be a bit though. Thanks to all for the opinions and info!Yeah let us know your experience with your fine choices.
Me too;-) OK, I'll put it this way. If you forced me at gunpoint to pick only one and throw the rest in a dumpster.....Thanks for this. Still torn on the LED choice for a D25A/D3A. Maybe I should just buy one of each! Ha.
Thanks. This helps. Not having had a high CRI light before, after talking the the folks at IG, I was just concerning about giving up so much output in a small light. I was leaning toward SFT-40 or maybe CSLPM1 before coming here, and then vicv helped the OSRAM climb up even, but you pushed the high CRI options up to the top, too.Me too;-) OK, I'll put it this way.

I think I'd probably stick the 519A 4500K in my pocket and drive off, although I know I'd be missing that sst20;-)
lol. If only the Osram Would come in a high CRI, it is the only LED I would ever buy. It all depends on what your needs are. I'm not a person that uses a lot of high output, so I prefer good efficient lighting. The 519A or SST 20 4000k, or excellent if you want high CRI with good tint. But, the W-2 is so good when it comes to throw. I find that if I have a throwy light, I can use less output. And my battery last longer. Now in all honesty I usually don't use my lights for more than 30 minutes, so runtime isn't actually a problem. So I just like throw-based lights because that's what I like. Which is why I like the W-2 so much. Especially in small form factor, as they don't have the size of reflector or optic to get good throw. But they do with a small dye like the W-2.Thanks.

does your use pattern involve walking a dog in rural outdoor settings, and possibly off leash? ;-)I usually don't use my lights for more than 30 minutes... I just like throw-based lights
Yes. Often. Lol. Though not as much this time of year. I'm usually in bed around 9 o'clock as I'm up early for work, and it's still not dark here by that time.does your use pattern involve walking a dog in rural outdoor settings, and possibly off leash? ;-)
thanks.. makes sense that a throwy flashlight would be useful for rural outdoor offleash dog spotting.Yes. Often.
"I don't have a dog"thanks.. makes sense that a throwy flashlight would be useful for rural outdoor offleash dog spotting.
I dont have a dog. The majority of my flashlight use is indoors and very close range. A floody flashlight, such as my Wurkkos TS10, suits this application.
otoh, for outdoor use, such as hiking, I prefer a single LED in a reflector, which lets me see farther away.
courses for horses.. indoors floody, outdoors throwy ;-)
thanks, its Ok.. I have a cat.. ;-)I'm sorry
thanks, its Ok.. I have a cat.. ;-)
I get to visit my friends dog, he got a very cute Portuguese Water Dog puppy recently. She is still learning not to jump on me, and I have to beware that she likes to play rough.. My cat does too.. they both like to bite my hands ;-(
Fun Fact:
Lol. Can't it tell by how fat I am that I eat plenty?Fun Fact:
Your cat thinks you're a large, hairless cat who is absolutely pathetic at hunting prey. So it sometimes brings you gifts of food (dead rats) because your cat doesn't want you to starve! Best way to eliminate this issue.... Eat in front of your cat as often as possible. Once it realizes you're not on the verge of starvation, it'll stop bringing you food.
Nope! Cats have tiny brains and run on instinct!Lol. Can't it tell by how fat I am that I eat plenty?
Good kittyNope! Cats have tiny brains and run on instinct!
On the bright side, your cat clearly loves you.
Otherwise it would let you starve, with your wimpy hunting skills. 😁
Cats have tiny brains and run on instinct!
Yes, and I stand by my previous statement.Have you ever lived with a cat for any length of time?
