cool and neutral white flashlight pics here
« on: September 30, 2013, 08:45:00 PM »
Lots of talk lately about flashlights and headlamps. Also got a few pms and a few emails asking about different bulb colors.
Here are a couple pics i took with my phone that are unedited. I have 2 exact same flashlights one in cool white (most leds are like this with the blue tint) and one in neutral white (warmer more yellow color). Both flashlights are eagletac single cell d25c clicky lights. the pics are on medium mode so that it doesnt washout or be too bright, i wanted you to see the color differences. most companies offer lights in either cool white or netural white. for us as hunters the netural white is the light we want to go with now.  The last few years netural white was not that great and was too green. most manufactures go the color down perfect now.

the two exact same lights. eagletac single cell d25c clickys. key chain light is cool white, headlamp clamp light is netural white.
 

cool white on medium mode indoors.
 

neutral white on medium mode indoors.
 

cool white medium mode outdoors
 

neutral white medium mode outdoors.
 

as you can see the neutral white has a much more pleasing color for detail rendering. it will also be better for blood trailing. how much better i dont know yet as i havent bloodtrailed with a netural white yet. the cool white works great and i never had a problem with them in all the years i have been using them. But i think now that the colors are spot on with the neturals they will be better for us. thought i would show some pics for you to see the difference for yourselves.

Thanks, Jason.  I found the ET D25C2 in stock from your source. The SureFire my son gave me several years back was an early model and I'm guessing had the imperfect "neutral" white beam, but it's a great light. I used it to blood trail this weekend and the blood seemed to glow.  I was stunned how far superior it was to the Coleman lantern in my other hand.  And the one on the way is going to make it seem like a candle for less $$!

Any reviews on the primos led blood trailing light with multi color option?

Use the red light I out of the woods haven't trailed with it yet

Great comparison LB. Do us all a favor since you have the two bulbs on the same kind of light and go to your local butcher and ask him for a little blood for a real test so we all can see what they both look like on a blood trail.

A side note. I just ordered a Fenix and have asked them if they have a neutral white bulb and they do not. I knew I pulled the trigger too soon. Now I have to find a light with a neutral white bulb. Anyone want to buy a brand new unused Fenix?

KentuckyTJ,  hope fully i can compare with real deer blood in a couple hours if my hunt tonight goes good.

KEEP the fenix! Fenix is an awesome light. the netural white is a great light and will be better but.....im my opinion... not better enough that i would drop everything and go get one. Its like swimming, it doesnt matter if the water is 30 feet deep or 300 feet deep....your not gonna touch the bottom. Same applies here just becasue the neutral is a little better doesnt mean the fenix is not still incredible.
 Myself and many many others (as you head in your other post) have had great success using normal leds like fenix. Enjoy that new light, its a great light.
