I'm thinking about this one:
Description: rotary, NB35 Hcri 180 lm, black bezel and body, sapphire, 123 battery, raised button.
What do you think?
The NB35 is a great choice. I spent over a year debating between the NB30 and NB35, and finally pulled the trigger a couple weeks ago for the NB35. I love it. I'd call it warm-neutral. There are instances where it's very pink (warm peachy), and some where it's quite white.
My HDS NB45 is my favorite light, and I think the sw45k is the best emitter, and it's my go-to flashlight. My only problem with it, is that at night it'll appear blue as I'm adapted to warm house lights and street lights. The NB35 doesn't appeared blue (even when I'm adapted to 2200k lantern). On the flip side, it's not crazy warm either. HDS's sw35 is the D180 bin, so you're more likely to have a warm reddish tone, rather than yellow.
Long story short, I got the NB35 as a warm light for night, but it may dethrone my NB45 as my go-to.
NB35 left; NB45 right
Left to right:
XHP35 4000K, sw35 3500k, sw45k 4500k, 219A (unknown CCT), and Luxeon GT (unknown CCT). All except the Luxeon are high CRI, but, as far as duv goes, it falls on (or very close to) the black body curve.
Added my worst (tinted) light to the far right to show that the HDS EDC60GT is not green. The camera in the comparison made it look sort of green, but it's very devoid of tint to the eye, under any circumstance. The camera and the beam crossing exaggerates the tints.
And here is a cool thread with a beam shot showing the difference between three sw35's (D180 and D200).
