2023 April flashlight news:
- The new Opple Light Master 4
- In recent years, no tool has been more useful for flashaholics like us than the Opple Light Master 3 (pro). It’s a very affordable device that can measure CCT (the temperature of the beam), including CRI Ra (this is the average of the lowest CRI readings) as well as flicker, etc.
- Now, they introduced the Light Master 4, an upgraded version with USB-C, and more CRI levels. For the price of $40-$50, it may not be a direct replacement for a Spectrometer, but even if it were less accurate, it would still be of great value to us. I ordered one, and now the waiting has begun.
