Anyone have beam shots of the Cool tint R2 vs. the warm tint? Or at least give me a good idea what the difference is?
Thanks

i dont have the cool tint, but the warm tint is very nice and smooth, near perfect beam. its tint isnt as warm as the quark neutrals. its more of a yellowish color compared to the orangey tints of the quark. and its the reason its my favorite light.
sorry i dont have beamshots, but theres a fantastic review on youtube that shows the OD and gray versions, and cool vs. warm comparisions indoor and outdoors. it also showed the jetbeam made holster for it. (which i passed on)
the video isnt in english. maybe german, not too sure, but its a great video showing the jetbeam M lll. the video was made by KTLstore just do a search for "jetbeam jet M (military series)"

I have both R2 and Q3-5A. I would just say that R2 is on sale now

Here are some pictures that show the color rendering difference between the Jet-1 pro v3 warm tint and the NDI cool tint. Not exactly what your looking for but close, I would expect the R2 to be a little warmer than the Q5.
Jet-1 PRO v3.0 Q3-5A AW Li-Ion 14500 protected (high setting) below.
17 yards to the tree, SMO reflector.
NDI Q5 AW Li-Ion 14500 unprotected (high setting) below.
17 yards to the tree.

I think maybe he was just giving the OP a look at the difference of the NW and cool tint, looks like a good representation to me.

It depends on how eyes treats the light: more cold lumens will give you more details on far objects, coz our eyes significantly more sensitive to the blue part of spectre which is slightly suppressed on neutral/warm phosphors, according to cree. I have deree XP-E Q5 5C, which is reddish, not yellowish as my neutral 123^2 quark Q3 5A and around 7k lux on 1 meter vs Fenix TK12-R2 with around 8400 lux. The difference on 40-50 meters is significant. I can easily detect almost everything with fenix, and with deree there's half of details, or even less.
Regarding color rendition: surprize, but fenix shows true daylight colors, with slightly greenish cast, but once you point the light on true white object, eyes will adopt and the cast is gone.
Neutral white an cold white has the same CRI - 75.
There's not only CRI in the game, but how eyes percept light and colors - this is not the same, wikipedia will help.
