**NEW** Nitecore TM26

[mund]

Having some insomnia this a.m., and I came across this... thanks

My TM26 looks like the above pic's. The text or font appears White (Yes ?) .. the OLED panel itself appears Blue (Yes ?)

Could it be all in how it's construed when looking at it?______ Personal perception?_____ As in White OLED (when on) Blue OLED (when off)

The Zebra affect so to speak... The Zebra is white; with black stripes, The Zebra is Black; with white stripes

 

[mund]

Maybe on some of the OLED's.. the White text is more dominant, less on others ????

Looks very nive that display, nice feature.
1000h runtime on low (!). That's 41 days.

i know the pic I posted was garbage but this photo clearly shows a difference to me

 

[mund]

Jeffg330 are you saying that yours appears as the pic does?________ Going by the pic, my text appears whiter. When I had my TM26 & TM36 side by side, they matched in color. Thedoc007 and I live nearby to one another, we met up and compared a few lights when 1st bought my TM36 and he had his moded version for comparison. Nothing stood out as different from what I recall in regards to OLED or text colors between our TM26's or TM36's


Now that I am fully awake, I tried taking a cell phone pic of my TM26 on my nightstand, in photo the OLED appears bluer as I try to get a good pic.. cell phone focus issues.

I have 2 of these and love 'em! They are both the 3500 lumen versions. One I have the NBP52 battery pack along with the NHM10 handle. The other is stock.
The OLED both look pretty darned blue to me!

I Love mine too... loved the TM11 I had also, should have kept that too!

I SAY... It is what it is with the perceived color of the OLED! It's incredibly hard NOT to enjoy the TM26!!!

I'm almost totally convinced now that it was either a marketing ploy, or a perceptual thing. I don't think there is any real difference.

Even Going Gear, which does have some better pics, and claims to be selling the white OLED version, has pics that clearly show a blue OLED, at least to me.

Unless someone has good pics of something that doesn't look similar, I'm calling the debate over. :nana:

I have a 3800 lumen ver with xml2 and oled is blue also.

Nope, mines blue. From reading this massive thread I thought they went to white. Just a curiosity no issue. If your OLED looks whiter I'd love to see, even a crappy cell phone pic.

It would be pretty cool if there actually are a handful of unique lights out there and you have one of em.

Sorry off topic but I'm going to be in the Ann Arbor area this weekend, is that your part of the state?

In the description it says "Please note that this version has a white LED display instead of the blue version in the picture."

Bought my TM26 last year at GG's Black Friday sale. 3800lm with WHITE OLED display.

Pictures or it never happened

Just to clarify, we are talking about the text being white in the OLED and not the actual screen material? My OLED screen has a bluish tint but the text is most definitely white. Wish we could post pics on here and I would already have posted one months ago.

 

[Verndog]

Definitely not. Blue was the standard color from the beginning. Supposedly some lights were shipped with a white OLED (at least some sellers claimed that) but I have yet to hear from anyone who got anything except blue. Even if there are white ones floating around, they were introduced later.

Mine was purchased from Illumination Supply and was one of the early 3800L models. It has the white OLED.

Looks blue to me. That's what mine looks like

It's not blue. Clearly white when compared to the blue switch light and other pics of the blue.

edit-new pic posted

 

[AmperSand]

Yeah you are right. Took a pic of mine for comparison. The panel just made yours look blue to me.

My apologies!

I may have used a flash there possibly (older pic), but yes...you can clearly see the blue more so in yours.
