Best Lux between these two LED's

LED Flashlights – General Info

Hello there

What LED would give best LUX out of these two ;

XML 5700
XML 6500

If it helps, - I think it would be an XML U2 LED using an 18650.

Thank you….

if they are both the same bin (u2)

then they would be the same.

thanks and which one would be less green?
5700?.
I’m looking for comparable tint beam shots of these two too.
Thanks lots .

5700 would be a much nicer tint to my eyes - but thats just my opinion… 6500k is cool white and tends to wash out colors… unless you prefer cool white that is :slight_smile:
5700k is still on the cooler side, but warmer than 6500k

Thanks great answer very helpful.
it would be just used for brightness really so not so bothered with warmer colouring rendition.

Is there somewhere I could see these two tints side by side ?…

You kinda need to know the exact tint bins to have any idea what the color will look like. Here’s a copy of the tint chart, for reference (“white” is the dotted line going through the center):
