Summary
Seven LEDs in five colors, in a very compact flashlight. The Nichia 519A LEDs are just beautiful with their high CRI and lovely tint. Red, green and blue are less interesting to me, but the UV light comes in very handy. This paired with the great driver and magnetic charging make the MiX-7 almost perfect.
It’s hard to say anything negative about it. I’d like to see more brightness levels for the color channels and maybe the possibility to mix them. Sometimes it can be annoying that the colors were integrated together with the white channel into the low group.
Overall I’m very satisfied with the MiX-7, even at my high expectations I had for this flashlight. If you want a flashlight with multiple colors, you should definitely try the MiX-7.
it would be way cooler to have a portable full spectrum lamp (like a black body radiation based one), that you can then continuously filter to any wavelength with a dial. Ideally anything between microwaves and x-rays. like with a prism or something.
It would probably have to as large as the most powerful portable LED lamps, so you get a usable brightness out of all frequencies and still be dim lol.
Perhaps you could use tunable lasers, but as I understand it, they aren’t that versatile yet.
biologists and geologists would love it
