Difference between these two headlights?

Other Types of Lights LED Headlamps
1

Making out my Christmas list and have narrowed it down to these two headlamps. My question is what is the diff between the two. From what is obvious, the 50.2 CRI model is high cri and 5000k with something called tint deviation. The other base model is 4500k, 80 CRI and no tint deviation.

In all reality was does this mean for tint and is CRI the better choice? I much prefer the mode spacing on these model 4 zebras. Getting the H600F style regardless. If any knowledgeable blf’er can chime in it’d be much appreciated. Want to make sure i make the right choice.

Ps- would anyone know how the zebra h600f frost lens would differ from my skilhunt h03 tir optic for close up work?

Thx again guys. All input is appreciated.

Standard h600f mk 4

H600f High CRI MK 4

3 step means a narrower range of the tint for example 3D

5 step would be ideal if you have 5A2 for example specified

if its a good one or bad you can only see if you have the light, but most High CRI seems to have good tints

XHP35 one will be more throw than H03 TIR for sure 50.2 might be even, depends how much its frosted lens

So does tint deviation mean the beam has multiple tints as a whole? I would much rather have one solid uniform tint to my lights. Thanks again for the imput.

MacAdam ellipse

Why Are LED Binning Ranges Important

CREE LED Color Mixing: Basics and Background

“A MacAdam ellipse refers to an elliptical region centered at a target color on a
chromaticity diagram. The size of the MacAdam ellipse defines the threshold at which color
difference becomes perceivable to the average human eye (between any color contained with
in the ellipse and the color at the center of the ellipse). MacAdam ellipse sizes are quoted in
“steps”, any point on the boundary of a 1-step MacAdam ellipse, represents a
1 Standard Deviation Color Match (SDCM) from the color at the centre of the ellipse

  • the target color. Similarly, any point on the boundary of a 2-step MacAdam ellipse
    represents 2 SDCM from the target color, and so on.
    Colors on the boundary of a 1-step MacAdam ellipse are considered to be indistinguishable to the
    average human eye from the color at the centre of the ellipse. Colors on the boundary of ellipses of
    2 – 4 step sizes are considered barely distinguishable from the color at the centre of the ellipse.
    Colors on the boundary of ellipses of 5 step sizes and up are considered readily distinguishable from
    the color at the centre of the ellipse. ”

So the number of steps is not the numerical portion of the color bin.

What???
XHPs with 3 or 5 step specification cant have tint code. Tint code shows big shift from average line on chromacy graph., while 3 or 5 step diodes should be close to this line inside small ellipse.
