Well, my Neutral White Quark AA2 Tactical came in, and I have to agree that the color of the beam is just about perfect. Side by side with my Scorpion, it didn't look blue at all, but at the same time made the Scorpion look a little yellow. At the risk of sounding redundant, the Quark is the closest to plain white, and very pleasant to use.

Looks like the Neutral would be better for my hunting use, but will a green lens negate the Cool vs. Neutral difference? Thanks for the info!

Sorry for the lateness of reply.

Although photos give a good idea of how a light might look compared to daylight -
our eyes sometimes behave very differently.

You really should compare for yourself -
and it does not matter if there is personal bias -
after all it is you that's doing the looking.

I personally prefer neutral white even outdoors -
but there are very good reasons why a warm white of between 2700-3200K works well.

Cool white despite being much closer to the "ideal" daylight -
just does not seem to work well in the dark outdoors -
as many others will attest.

However placing a green filter over the light probably negates any perceived advantage.

But again you should see for yourself.
