I realized that my most concern is the color/tint, which depends on the CCT and CRI of the emitter, but this is totlly another story.
Thanks for both your and TyJo's responses! Besides the reflector, I did send the following question to Henry regarding beam profiles;
Hi Henry,
Quick question, is the beam pattern the same between the EDC Tactical 200 and the Rotary? The reason for asking is, I'm looking at adding another HDS to my rotation, and presently on the fence between the two. When I asked this question in CPF's HDS thread number 15, one of the guys "bondr006" posted photos of both the 200T and Rotary having different style reflectors and beam patterns.
Here's a link to the thread, see "bondr006" post #639: (provided the link to the post/photos)
Since the email was sent on Saturday evening, I anticipate a reply soon. However, like yourself this time around, I would like to find one that doesn't have a green tint like my T170. It's not too bad, but it's there which I was surprised since the GD emiter is sold as a cool tint (?). In my present situation (and no I'm not wall hunting if you're thinking in that direction), the green is constently in front of me since I'm in a property that has many tight areas, with (of all things) large white flat surfaces! ...
So this time I don't think I'll compromise in this regards.
Ok, I shut up now!
Thanks again!
