Thanks!5mm dia x 3mm thick
I ordered one. Went with 5600k, as the 3200k looks too dim. Also, couldn't resist picking up a Jetbeam Jet-U. That's an even better deal.

Got mine today. Took 18 days. Not bad. Build on the light seems great. No way this is high CRI. color rendering on mine sucks IMHO. Tint is very blue. Oh well, it was a curiosity purchase. Not like it was going to knock my Aeon MKIII or rev. 4 Maratac AAA brass out of my pocket. I'll find a use for it I'm sure.
Got mine yesterday, the tint is very warm as I expected. Build quality seems very good as well, I'm considering getting a different model, but I just don't know enough about this brands longevity.
Interesting. Seems like you're the first and only person so far that thinks the beam is blue and not high CRI. Not sure what to tell you in all honesty. Perhaps you got a light with an emitter that never should have made it through quality control? All I can tell you is my 5600K is not at all bluish and colors illuminated with it are quite vivid.

The bluish tint doesn't bother me. It is 5600k after all and it's just a cheapie light. I did expect better color rendition though...
You are correct and I tried to make that distinction in my previous 2 posts. Fortunately I have two really great CRI EDC lights to directly compare it to. Mine is not that great for CRI honestly. I mean, yea, it's a huge improvement over a ARC AAA or Fenix E01 for CRI. I'm not completely disappointed in it, seriously it's an $8 flashlight. It's worth owning a few and stashing for emergencies.Tint is tint though we all see it differently. I can't speak to the CRI, but anything over 5000k is blue to my eyes and this 5600k Yuji is no exception.

I think you and I are almost entirely in agreement, though I may not have successfully expressed that in my post that quoted you: I think these lights are great, especially for the money, and that everyone -flashaholic or not- could definitely use oneYou are correct and I tried to make that distinction in my previous 2 posts.

I HATE cool white and don't usually buy anything over 4000k, but this is the least-offensive cool white I've ever seen; the fact that I'm actually using the cool Sofirn is a testament to thatIt's kind of funny to me as I felt the same way about anything over 5000K, but I was really pleasantly surprised at the contradiction of light this thing put out. It's cool, but has a strange warmth to it...
Nice to hear that. I felt the 3200k was too warm... and with 5600k being brighter at no extra power expense, seemed the sensible way to go for a light such as this -- low lumens available for long, long periods of time.I HATE cool white and don't usually buy anything over 4000k, but this is the least-offensive cool white I've ever seen; the fact that I'm actually using the cool Sofirn is a testament to that
with nichia 219 high CRI emitters this isn't even in the same area code as far as color rendering
Thanks for the feedback. It's my galaxy cell phone camera. Same settings for all 3 pics. Maratac is a v4 brass. That C01 pic is pretty dang perfect to how my eye sees colors with the C01 in person. No trickery or manipulation of settings in any of the pics.Maratac for a time used the N219b 4000k, now they use the N219c 4000k (the red bar got shorter)
The Yuji LED has much higher CRI overall including much higher red output than the nichias
if you can find a CRI spectrum for the LED in the Aeon, please share
I appreciate you taking the time to share photos. One thing that can help make photos apples to apples is to
Use the same white balance setting for each photo
High CRI is most notable in the Red rendering. Low CRI leds are good at producing green, yellow and blue, but very very bad at producing red
with respect, some feedback on your photos
1. it would seem important to have a control shot, showing the colors in natural daylight
2. your muyshondt seems to make the red very brown (I bet it has a shorter red bar on a spectrum chart)
3. your Maratac makes the red nice and bright (is that a 219b or 219c?)
4. your C01 is not aimed at the red bar, and or the lighting is too dim for your camera setting to capture the colors the C01 is capable of.
I did not think you intentionally did anything to alter the images.No trickery or manipulation of settings in any of the pics.
