I wanted to start a thread about how the new tints and beams from the Zebralights with the XHP35's compare to each other (in the SC63w, SC63, SC600w, SC600, etc.) and to their XM-L predecessors.
I have an H600 MK IIIw and an SC52w from about a year back, and just got an SC63w last week.
I'm not sure if there will be a varying lottery as has been seen in the past. Maybe there will!
But as more people begin to receive these new ZL's it may be interested to compare notes...
Here's my experience between them so far: At first, I thought the 63w seemed pretty yellow compared to the 52w and H600w. But, the 52 and 600's look a bit purple by comparison overall. The spill beam with these two is a bit more purple from the spot, where the 63w maintains more consistency from spot to spill, but the spill cools off a bit towards purple from the center spot on the 63w.
To be clear, these are direct comparison against a white wall. To me this is not very noticeable in regular use.
When I use these lights individually I am perfectly happy with them. That said, if these were not backordered, I might order a cw version to compare the w to the cw to see if I prefer the cooler version.
So, SC63 and SC600 MK III owners, what's your experience with tints and beams so far, are you happy with your choice? How does it compare to your other inventory?
