It seems quite expensive, however may be it has a better color than cheaper ones.

Yes, I have seen your blog, Peter. The price in the US for the MINI LIGHT is about $ 269 which is much higher than from IKEA. I have a small, very cheap LED flashlight that I use to look at some of the REE-minerals from the yttrofluorite localities in northern Norway. Some of these minerals changes color when viewed in LED-light, which might be a diagnostic feature.

I do not know anything about the LED-light I describe above. Maybe all LED-lights changes the colour of some minerals (especially REE-minerals) if used in digital photography. It is possible use a neutral grey-card to get correct colour in digital photography, but I have not tested how it works with my LED-light.
