HD2010, Have i got a duff one?

I got a relatively crappy HD2010 too. But even if it was driven well, I really don’t agree with the hype behind the HD2010, unless you want to mod it I would not ever suggest getting one.

It may look nice, but I don’t see the cost of carrying a big fat head unbalanced light that feels like a multi cell to be worth minimal improvement over a C8, IF you happen to get one driven well (and all my C8s are better stock, so an HD2010 as an “improvement” is a theory). Hopefully you got in on the Eagle Eye X6 group buy, sounds like you want performance and good output and are not focused on just throw.

With most budget light manufacturers, when they cut costs you seem to get a random LED, and what tint you get in a T6, or even if it is a T6 is not certain. T6 is the brightness, not color of tint, you can have a blue tinted T6 and a nice white one close to neutral white, both T6s. Tint, Binning, and CRI Explained (For XM-L LEDs)
