I'm using the newer stock "brighter" Mag bulb and it is distinctly *whiter* than my Tigerlight, Ultrastinger and Stinger HP. As for the Tigerlight, great though it is, I am very disappointed at the beam inconsistancy from lamp to lamp. I now have a multigenerational set of seven Tigerlight lamps and most of them seem relatively yellow and uncentered, though my first one was and is excellent. I don't use the light very much and I'm puzzled about its relative yellowness. I can't imagine that it be time for a battery change.
BTW, I'm currently running Powerstream 2.5's in the MC, but I doubt that they would produce a whiter beam, just a longer run. If I needed a very bright light for a couple of hours I think my preferred light would be the MagCharger. If the Tigerlight had a more consistant beam and quick change battery like the Mag, US and Stinger HP I might consider it for that role. Sure, the Mag is big and heavy but I feel that I can rely on it, and it is one of the few long burn incandescent lights that has not disappointed me.
