I agree that in most applications, especially outdoor related, having higher CRI is much more useful than having, say, +30% lumen output. That is why I try to select flashlights with neutral / high CRI LEDs. My current go-to torches which happen to be also latest acquisitions: - Surefire P6 body; bored to accept 18650 battery with McClicky upgrade and P60 / Nichia NVSL219B drop-in from customlites.com. Very bright with a nice hotspot. I use it to do a walk-around check of a small Cessna before flying at night. You don't want to miss those missing rivets. - EAGTAC D25C Clicky Ti. Not a fan of a reverse-clicky but a moonlight mode is very useful in low light situations when it's crucial to preserve night vision. And it's also small and has a nice clip to carry around. - Fenix FL50 headlamp. Accepts CR123 and AA batteries and has a nice beam pattern. Two of those have Nichia 219 which I think is an awesome LED if you need good color rendering.
