I have been looking at the various Peak models for quite some time. I prefer a flood type beam and therefore have been considering the McKinley high power. My concerns /questions are the following:
- I presently carry a P1 and like the form factor but desire a less intense beam and more flood for close-in usage.
- I like the "white" tint of the P1 and dislike the blue tint my Inova X5(new model) emits but like its flood pattern. Not having owned a Peak with the snow white LED's, are their tints truly white or do they have a bluish cast?
- I was planning on getting a custom mixture of 15/30 degree LEDs to increase the flood pattern.
I guess my most important question is...are the snow white LEDs really white or are they just "less blue" than the other 5mm breeds?
I was also looking at the Cr2 Ion but didn't want to spend that much. I would rather invest in the PD-III if I am at that price level.
Thanks for any feedback/experiences Dave
