How is the tint on the one with a 219A? I'm hoping mine will have a rose tint. I've heard some say the 219A have a rose tint and others say it's the same as the 219B, just not as efficient/bright.
- P1 clicky modded with 219A that is currently used actively at home.
- a stock version that is not actually used.
- a brand new lego P2 that is waiting to be modded some day (might also be gifted away as P1)
- 2 brand new P1s that are waiting to be gifted (or modded, or used as spares, or something else)
- a black P1 that is not used and has third party electronics. I needed the original light engine once the first try in modding went south...

What driver did you use on the black P1?
I have to have pitty for the white wall hunters as paint colors are "Tints," lighting is in color temperature. And the amount of different shades of white paint you can buy is staggering. So that you will have a color shift from place to, place. So the posts of photos are not 100% correct, and then figure the camera setting for color balance.
Not to mention lenses have an effect on color, it varies from lens to lens. A Carl Zeiss lens compared to the best Nikon is a world of difference, and I have both. Let's not even think about point and shoot plastic lens or cameras in phones.
The only easy way and with some accuracy, and I say some, is to use a seamless Superwhite background paper roll, or a white balance card. Honestly the white balance cards could be off here and there, the paper won't, so shinning a light at your white walls with hint of rose that you don't know is there, and can't see on the wall tells you the wrong color temperature as the appearance changes with the mix of paint.
You have no idea who picked the white and who mixed it. This is not the correct way.
Even studio white paint needs to be applied in the correct way.
This is basic, the most basic but, they will never give me a stickie on this or the color gels, which I have typed both so many times.
So your white wall is not really white. You have to have something that is verified as white and paint on a wall does not cut it, even fresh white varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and then who knows what happens?
When you cover some tasteless person's purple room, with a company's standard white the tints shift, and the color temperature appearance shifts with it. There is no standard white paint.
It is time the working knowledge of terminology kicks in on this forum.
Hope some of you will understand all white is not the same white. I spent hours talking with the Sherwin Williams people on the Air Force One, paint project for a book I am working on about presidential events and travel, and paint is very, very complex.
Paint has complex physics and color is way beyond what myself and most people understand.
Without quoting post, great post Redled.

Even with the worst tinted SF, I can still see enough to get around.
OEM should aim to have best output, leave tint hunters to modded lights. Using resources to chase a particular tint of a particular batch is costing OEM and ultimately all of us.
For a select few.
If you don't like too much green blue purple or yellow you are a bit of a tint snob too! LOLAnother +1 on your post, RedLed. Shame they can't give you your own sticky, but of all the controversial topics that lead to spirited debates here, that topic is probably number one.
I'll probably have my flashoholic status revoked for this, but I'm not terribly concerned with tint. I don't like too green, blue, purple or yellow, but I tolerate a wide range of white tints. To me, a flashlight is primarily a tool to get a job done, and as long as it helps me get that job done, I'm happy. I can say that after carrying a flashlight at work or 24 hours a day for 40 years (and you know what kind of flashlights were available 40 years ago, and how they've improved!).
Having said that, we should all be grateful to the tint snobs, because even though tints aren't where they may want them to be, I'm sure they've had a positive influence to get us where we are today. Without them, who knows what we would have. So don't give up the fight guys, you might just convert me yet.

Oh no! I've been outed!
That is true about the paper, I use my studio white to look at them, mostly for fun, and that is at least made to shine light on.Even white paper can change the reflected intensity of the various wavelengths. Also, what is an estimated lumen??? Last time I checked they were not selling estimated gallons of gas at the local service station.
