Both use the XPG emitter and the same circuitry, and both can use the same RCR123A battery. Lumen output should be identical. However, the greater diameter optic in the Pyrenees allows for a more focused beam and therefore an increase in candlepower or throw.
Subjectively (and my eyes aren't the best), the Pyrenees seems a good bit brighter than the Logan at equivalent power levels.
The head on the Pyranese will be bigger...a fact for consideration if you want to pocket carry- there is a big difference to me in pocketability in the logan and carribean IMO.- On SF cr123's my #7 logan was bright- on AW RCR123- it is far brighter.

The Pyrenees has a larger and I believe better optic. Dances old eyes are right the Pyrenees has the edge in power, its my favorite pocket light. Rage the optic is only 3mm larger not
a hinder to EDC. BTW its way cool in brass.

Right. Pyrenees (Ranier sized) head diameter is greater than the Caribbean which in turn is greater than the Logan.
Need pretty baggy pants to pocket a Pyrenees (and in Brass also big strong thighs).

Thank you.
I don't want it for a edc light. Just something small and bright to carry when needed. So it has an optic? Not a reflector?
Can the Pyranese be ordered with a 18500 batter tube and a momentary switch?

It does have an optic, but that does not always make it have a better output. Our best throwing light has a reflector.
It can be ordered with an extra 18500 body. Standard body is a CR123 or 18350. Since it has a Judco switch which can also be used as a momentary you have both
lockout and momentary.

There is a way to install a brass momentary switch onto the Pyrenees, but you need the tailcap from a brass 2XAA Caribbean and an extended length Momentary, also from the 2XAA Caribbean.

The parts are all stock and unmodified. Don't know about availability since as far as I know the Caribbean hasn't been produced for some time.
