For me, the most irritating aspect of a reflector based LED flashlight has been the tint shift across the beam caused by the LED dome refraction. I found that shift, in case of a shallow reflector, to be by far more important issue than the average tint of a LED itself. One particular item which I have struggled with was a special Tana's SingLED with an 3700K high cri XPG harvested from my HDS clicky. A gorgeous tint spoiled by that **** yellow hot spot.
Now this is the solution which I found and which made me happy about this light, at last!

The blueish rim placed behind the front lens is made of a lee cct correction film filter (claimed to provide 3200K -> 4300K without any added tint) which transforms that <3000K yellowish hot spot to around 4000K. As you can see, it affects only the hot spot, while the spill is intact everywhere but the outmost part and even there the effect is invisible even on a white wall.
