This is why I've decided it's time to sell most of my Olight collection.

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 :)
