Suprabeam also has some kind of more natural light called 'True Color.'

Some emitters go down to 2700k that I know of, but start looking pretty yellow. The Nichia 519a is very popular, and comes in different tints. I just got one with 4500K and it is a very nice neutral.
Traditionally:
2700k = Tungsten
3000k = Halogen
Personally, a good high-CRI 5000K works well for me, but I like a good 4000K for anything long.
Lumintop makes this guy: https://www.amazon.com/Rechargeable-Flashlight-Anduril-Camping-Included/dp/B08GG2BM72?tag=cpf0b6-20 4,000K high CRI.

I should have been more detailed but was tired when I made the post.
Price range no more than $50
Brightness probably 350 lumens or more
First preferred brand would be MagLite but IIRC 100% of their LED offerings are 6500K. (My current daily flashlight is a MagTac).
Preferred battery is CR123a since I already have rechargeable LiFePo2's.
Size needs to be comparable to a MagTac for daily pocket carry.
In the meantime is there some kind of stick on film filter that I can put on my MagTac to knock the color temp down some?
Edit: just checked MagLite's site (been years since I've visited it, looks like they do offer warm white in a new spectrum line but they don't appear to have any of the brighter flashlights in that line nor any CR123a models.
