Zebralight SC64c LE and SC64w HI beamshots

I was doing so well not buying any flashlights for the last year and now being back in this forum I already bought 4. Don’t know what happened there but now I have a hard time in deciding for my next one.

I just bought ZL SC53w out of curiosity since it’s so highly praised everywhere and now I know why! I was almost set to get SC64w HI for my 18650 flashlight but then during searching for reviews and beamshots this SC64c LE caught my attention.

Unfortunately I can’t find comparison in beamshots between those two, so is there anybody who happens to have those two and can show their beamshots next to each other? I’m afraid 4000K might be to warmish for me but I’ve seen LE beamshots compared to other NW lights that looks really beautiful, not to warmish at all. So now I’m in doubt.

Much appreciated if anyone can help me out.

SC64w HI has a temperature of 4810K. You have my measurements. SC64c LE will be warmer, because around 4000K, but I do not have it, so I will not show the exact comparison. I wonder myself if I want to buy SC64c LE

Thanks Komeko, so actually the proclaimed 4500K of SC64w HI is more like 4800K. That would means the actual difference between those two will be more significant unless the LE actual measurement will be towards 4300K

I kinda like 4500K as it’s just the right hotspot for NW color. That’s why I was dead set for the SC64w HI but I can’t help to admit the beamshots I saw of the LE is also so beautiful. If those ZL’s are cheap I just buy those two and be done with it and one can serve as backup
