Good light for illumination

Post by Igor »

Tell me a good portable (battery-powered) lamp for lighting with a high CRI and the correct color rendering. A lot of lamps are sold on Aliexpress, but judging by the prices, they use the cheapest LEDs with incorrect color reproduction, that is, they do not meet the declared characteristics. I judge this by prices, since one good LED costs from $6, and Chinese panels use 100-120 LEDs and such light panels cost only about $18-22. It seems to me that it might be better in this regard to purchase a flashlight with 1 powerful right LED and use a homemade diffuser? An additional advantage of the flashlight is the fact that the LED in it meets the declared characteristics + a replaceable 18650 battery, as well as an aluminum body that removes heat well, unlike Chinese light panels. And the lantern is smaller, which means it can be installed in a difficult place.
