Similarly, the Balder SE-1 I received from CNQG had no markings (no branding) and there was even a used Ultrafire battery inside. I'm wondering if he sent a review sample.
It’s brighter, but tint depends on the person. Personally, I don’t like NW. Mine is from LightMalls (USD71 now) and it seems to be similar to 1C or 1A tint.
Better color rendering and easier on the eyes. Cool white=more lumens but colors get grayed out. I was nuts enough to order one anyway!
Example: I do the "chocolate lab" test... she is brown and I have a black GSD/Lab mix. So when I test lights when I pee them at night, Abby (chocolate) looks all grayed out and flat with a cool and she looks her natural reddish-brown with a neutral.
Verdict: Best tint of all is the LED Supply 4000K neutral XP-G triple, runner-up is their 4500K XM-L. *Every* other neutral XM-L I've tried has been too greenish in comparison.
Also, cool at night sets me on edge a little. Don't like fluorescents either-makes me crabby. (not difficult!) Neutrals are much nicer. I'll take a cool if I go in the car and/or during the day for absolute max output.
The tint of the Skyray neutral is good, but not quite as nice as the LED Supply emitter. Still, you won't be disappointed... I love mine.
Hey rusty joe, I read somewhere here that t-mart doesn't have them instock and an employee told someone here that they shouldn't order until they are in stock.
better do a throughout check on your King from light mall, coz I got one with 1 of the 3 Led not working. Had to pry out the driver board, remove the reflector and test the led with direct drive. I have changed a spare 16mm XML in since, and that company as for proof. But I forgot to take pics before I did the repair. Now its my words against theirs and I dun think I will get anything out of this episode.
