Thanks to Str8stroke's post here, I did some sleuthing, and there is finally, after years of waiting, a version of the Favourlight 3D lantern available in the United States with a neutral/warm tint!
You can google "B00U2079RK" to see the lantern.
Here is the description from the Amazon sale page:

Enjoy!
**NOTE: I have no idea how many different vendors stamp their own house brand/label on Favourlight lanterns and call it their own. I am guessing well over ten, probably more than a dozen. I highly doubt Favourlight would disclose all the different entities that request private labeling. However, if someone is curious, I can shoot them an email and ask. They might not even respond, but, I think it might be neat to try...
EDIT #1: After browsing some of the reviews on Amazon, I noticed a trend: Many of them say something along the lines of "I was given a discount for writing an honest review." Now, some of them simply copy and paste from the specs, a cheap form of literary filler, but many of them do include some useful information, if not a bit of blithe blathering as to how this particular illumination tool is the greatest invention ever to bless mankind. I think it is important to note that as fun (and occasionally informative) as it is to read reviews from "satisfied customers," many of those customers may have been "extra" pleased with their purchase because they received a small refund shortly after writing up their thoughts...
EDIT #2: In my excitement, I missed that there is apparently (at least) one Amazon seller with the warm/neutral tinted Gentos EX-777XP. That seller is TB Digital. When I searched the Amazon product code, interestingly, the first hit is not on the U.S. Amazon site. Rather, it is on the Japanese site! So I don't know if this person is importing than from Japan...or...?
Regardless, given that the lantern that is the subject of this writeup is available for $29.99 off Amazon, and it boasts a slightly higher lumen count, and it has a new-style diffuser panel, I see no reason to buy the older Gentos EX-777XP. I know a few members here have the Gentos labeled unit. If anyone does have both, it would be neat to post how they compare, with especial respect paid to the new type of diffuser used in the PLM0C3D001.
EDIT #3: For those who just can't get enough Favourlight, here is the complete 2014–2015 catalog!
