I got me one of those Nitecore NU20 CRI and WOW I have never been so enamored with a tint before. I'm now obsessed and want to switch the emitters of the headlamps I have (and some I will have) to Nichias or similar!
I'd like to switch the emitters of the below:
Imalent HR20W MAX 1000 Lumens
Skilhunt H03R MAX 1000 Lumens
Thrunite TH20 MAX 540 Lumens
I have a wishlist of what I want in the new emitters in order of importance.
1) 540/ 1000 MAX Lumens (or as close as possible)
2) 4500/ 5000K tint
3) HIGH R9 value
4) High CRI
5) Little to no degredation of throw distance
As far as I have read (I'm new to being a flashaholic), NO Nichia 219 will go to the maximum lumens I want. I don't necessarily need a Nichia. I'm open to any other brands/ models (Cree Easywhites?) as long as they have 5000K rosey tint that hits close to my max lumens.
I'm pretty sure some of the items on my wishlist may cancel each other out. Overall, I can throw the specs out if my eyes see a nice neutral, roesey tint with maximum lumens!
Thanks all!
PS I tried a workaround. I got some of those lighting gels and found a few tints that give me close to the tint I want (and any other tint under and over the sun). I was just going to cut little circles out and slap them over the glass BUT it reduces my total output :/.
