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.

    I’ve been using my Baton 3 for a few years now and never noticed this! I’ll have to pull out some other flashlights and do a comparison lol

      Probably because your brain subconsciously does color correction (similar to optical illusions) that you don’t notice until you have a direct comparison.

        How much are you asking for that black baton 3 in the picture? I could definitely use a spare one…

          Seeing as a new one goes on Amazon for $50 where I am, I’d sell it for $35. Has all the accessories in the box, but it does have some light wear. Here are some pictures for more detail.

      It didn’t matter to me until I got a couple lights with really good tint. Still, I do believe Olight has the best build quality for their price and their support team is awesome, they’ve helped me out when a light was faulty.
