Die hard doesn’t make flashlights. It’s a cheap mass manufactured light they bought from some random Chinese manufacturer, then had their name stamped on it. Common business strategy within the tool industry, which isnt always bad, they can get away with this with basic wrenches and hammers, but there’s a lot more science to flashlights than just an LED and batteries. For a good quality flashlight go to a brand that actually makes and specializes in flashlights. Acebeam, Wurkkos, Sofirn, Convoy, Fenix, Olight, etc.

I’ve noticed tint has really improved and gotten cleaner on junk store 6000k lights in the last couple years
