I was one of the lucky recipients of the zebralight H31W
I won at our DFW get together last week.
I'm very very pleased with it....
I already have the h60w uses 18650 battery and an H30 which uses a cr123 and I am most happy with my new H31W.
Since I have two, you may ask "why do you need three?".. only to share!.... especially while I'm fishing at night and have two other guys in the boat.. we all get one!
My new one is my favorite for several reasons...
Its smaller and less noticeable strapped on the forehead as it uses the cr123 "I'm using a rechargable however". the H60w "was" my favorite light as its beam is so wide it gives you a feeling its not nightime even though it really is as everything in front of you have a nice soft light to it.
For anyone who jogs or gets sweaty while using these, I recommend the lighter ones that use the cr123.... AA is prob ok to.
But my new H31w is twice as bright on high and has a nice spill thats just was wide as the others but also has a piercing beam that cuts a long distance.... they are two different lights completely... notice how the reflector size is much bigger on the new ones too and the die is small.. allowing lots of throw.
And yes, for soft lighting the warm is easier for the brain to interpret what you see... if you don't believe me.. throw a penny or small object into the grass and try to find it with a warm light verses not.. the warm will be easier to interpret what you see.
The higher kelvins are more useful with very intense lights.
I found this out while fishing in my boat at night with tying line, dangling fishing lures, dealing with ropes, cable, bouncing fish into the boat, etc......warm was better.
