Am I blind, or does Elzetta not specify what emitters they use anywhere on their site?

I found this blog post on their website about beam tint.
I saw that, which made it seem extra strange that they go to the trouble to expound on tint without saying what emitter. If anything, you usually see the emitter named, but nothing about tint.
Unless I am not looking at it right even the elzetta tail cap is either high or low based on button clicks. The Quark Tactical I have you can twist the bezel loose and prof it for say low, then twist it right and program it for high. I carry it with bezel right on high if I need to use it as awful or for a defensive use or to light up something far away I just push the button. If I need less light like looking at something under a seat or dimly light without being blinded I just twist the bezel loose and hit the button. There is no need for double or multiple clicks, I can never remember which one it defaults to.
My low setting is 30-50 lumens high is max I believe about 700.
They have multiple tail caps. The high low tail cap is rotary for high/ low. They state that the low is only 15 lumens though.

Elzetta tint is very nice to my eyes. Good balance of outdoor definition. Much better than some higher lumen but higher temp lights. And no step down.
I think companies talk emitter like name dropping. Most people still don't think in terms of color temp. or CRI. Even a given emitter can have variances in temp. and tint. Some surefire lights can be greener even with same emitter as an example. Call Elzetta and axe them what emitter it is if it effects your buying decision.
Malkoff will not say what emitters they use in some lights.
