I wanted lower CCT, somewhat improved CRI and the reduced green tint.
I was initially contemplating 519a emitters, but their Vf is substantially lower than TN3535 (see the 3rd picture; graphs taken from koef3’s reviews). As the emitters are connected in series here, I was concerned about potential over-driving them, so I gave up this scenario.
In order to reduce the green tint, I have decided to sacrifice the highest achievable CRI, and I swapped only two out of three TN low CRI emitters with their high CRI variants (taken from HD12).
The stock HS43 has a very clean, neutral tint, but is low CRI and very cold — it was disturbing me when I was using for more than ~20 minutes. Too early to say, if I will tolerate it during hours-long sessions but it feels better, for sure.
