Yes that's right. I compared both my Cyan and my white U-bin lights. Both regulated. The cyan measured at ~970ma (dual bb500's) and the white measured at ~930ma (wizard2 917ma) at the leds. My personal cyan has a flux of R bin, but the white is a flux of U(X1J).
The Cyan walks ALL OVER the white. This is outside, at night, with the lights on, with the lights off, it doesn't matter. The cyan totally imposes it's self over the white beam. I have a ~60lumen lux1 r/o on low alkalines so it's probably not up to snuff at the moment, and the white walks over it...
Doing a ceiling bounce test the outcome is the same. The Cyan seems 2x or maybe even 2.5 times brighter. You can have both on, then turn one on/off, notice the change, then do the same to the other, and notice less change.
All lights are using the mag C/D reflector BTW.
Is it really just your eyes more sensitive to this color? This is a real cyan colored not a greenie. I've noticed royal blue as being redicolously bright like this as well...(eyes aren't supposed to be that sensitive to it) Or is the stuff they use to measure white/colored light not as acurrate for one or the other??
Pretty amazing the cyan 2C light I have, but puts my nice white light to shame!!
