Jan 21, 2023 · I compared the Anduril UI based Noctigon KR4 (7/7 mode) to the Noctigon KR1 (7/7 mode), Lumintop FW1A (7/7 mode), and non-Anduril based UI Sofirn SP31 V2.0 (Turbo mode) in 2 different light painting tools.

Jul 28, 2020 · The 2200K tint is similar to a beautiful sunset whereas the E21A 2000K that Clemence sells look like candle light. Also pay attention to how much output the bezel kills on the mule lights. Even the color of the bezel (stainless steel vs dark gray) makes a …
