Is the Eagletac T100C2 mk2 with OP reflector worth the upgrade ?

[Valmet62]

I have the original T100C2, and was wondering if the mk2 with OP reflector makes much difference with the beam. I saw a thread about this, but I couldn't really see much diffence in the two beams, but I pictures can be deceiving.

I absolutely love the T100C2 with the OP reflector. It cuts the throw a bit as expected, but not a whole lot (it's a very light OP texture). The main thing it does is gets rid of the slight donut hole in the hotspot, plus brightens the spill a little. Since you already have a T100C2, it's probably not worth the upgrade. Otherwise, it's the one I recommend. They're also available in the warm tint now, so if you're partial to warm tints I'd say go for the upgrade.

Here's what I measured on my light meter:

T100C2 SMO (both the MKII and original): ~11,500
T100C2 Mk II OP: ~10,000
T100C2 Mk II OP, Neutral/Warm LED: ~8,700

Thanks for the info, but I couldn't find the T100C2 neutral beam with the OP reflector on your website, just found the SMO version listed.

It's there, but it is out of stock... I have more on the way though. T100C2 Kit, NW, OP Reflector and Regular Tailcap
