More pictures in comments. This picture is Olight S1R Baton II (left) vs Rovyvon A23 (right). The Rovyvon uses a Nichia 219C emitter in cool white (about 5700K iirc).)

It’s the same complaint you hear time and time again, emitters with awful tint and CRI. When I was still new all I cared about was Olight, so I’ve amassed a pretty significant collection. It was only when I first tried a Hank light with Nichia 519A emitters that I finally understood why tint and CRI matters.

Also, now that I’ve learned the Anduril 2 UI every other light just feels limiting.

    Beam from S1R Baton II. Very green tint with terribly washed-out colors.

    Beam from Rovyvon A23 (Nichia 219C). Accurate colors, beautifully-neutral tint.

    I’ve got a lot to get rid of, but I am at least going to keep that orange S1R Baton II because it’s the light that got me into the hobby. It was my first “real” flashlight, and I was super impressed with how bright such a tiny light could shine :)
