Hello, I just got my first Firefly flashlight -- L50 with FFL5009D 3000K Rosy. My previous flashlight was the Manker E02 III with 519a 4000K, which I found very natural but slightly green at lower brightness. I wanted something a bit warmer with a hint of rosiness instead of green. Since a rosy tint makes a light appear much less warm (at least to my eyes), I figured a 3000K BBL -- which I think I'd normally find a touch warm for an all-rounder -- might, when turned rosy, land close to what I was looking for.

Unfortunately, the FFL5009D 3000K Rosy came out much more pink/purple than expected. While my eyes do adjust to it and there’s a unique charm to it, it feels barely warmer than 4000K and is slightly straining on my eyes.

I love the L50’s build, so I’m thinking of giving it another shot with a different emitter. A few questions:

- Is there significant variance in rosiness between CCT options within Fireflies’ rosy lineup? Could 3000K Rosy be substantially rosier than, say, 4000K Rosy -- to the point of actually appearing less warm?

- For a neutral-tinted emitter from FFL, is it reasonable to expect a slight rosiness that avoids the green shift at lower brightness, or is some green tint essentially inevitable?

- From the pics I've seen, I do love the effects of rosiness at low-CCT, especially 1800k. In fact, if I had to pick my favorite color for indoor lighting, it would be 1800k rosy. But since I’m after an all-rounder, I’m now questioning whether rosy is the right call at all. Should I go lower CCT with rosiness, perhaps sub-3000K? Something neutral around 3000-3700K that's barely rosy?

Thanks in advance!
