Hi, does anybody have one of these or maybe some beamshots??
New Solarforce L950m with ssc P7 DSXOI-binned?

I see this new light has a SXO tint while the old L900m had a SWO tint.
What is the dfference between the two will the SXO be a cooler or warmer color??

SX0 is cooler than SW0, that's the one thing I don't care for...but I've been told by others that they can't visually see a difference between an SW0 P7 and a SX0 one. Hopefully that's the case because I really prefer pure white over bluish white.
 
Found these pictures showing the difference in tint between the two. Its from a maglite modded with p7's. The green's does seem a bit greener on the SWO. Bit of a shame was really looking forward to getting one of these (solarforce L950m) I like the new look, but i prefer the SWO tint. I wonder if there will be any noticeable difference in output between the L900m CSWOJ and this newer L950m DSXOI??

Hi Jens can you post your findings of the new L950m here as soon as you get it, I would like to know if its any better than the L900

I will look forward to that.
I'm not expecting much of a difference though.
I have 2 Aleph L.Es.
C-bin CSX0I and D-bin DSW0J bi-flupics.
I can detect no difference in output between them on level 10.
 
My guess would be that usually the coolest tint can hit the higher lumens range of the bin spec...and since they're claiming 950 bulb lumens, maybe that's why they went with an SX0 this time rather than the SW0 used in the L900M. I also think it's the coolest looking 2x18650 P7 flashlight on the market so far.

What about the tint, is the SWO warmer in appearance ??

no problem, I own the L900 and will compare both, if the 950 arrive me!

Already have one for testing.

It is very nice light. Smooth beam with very wide spill and no donut hole in the hotspot on a longer distance (+1m). I'm getting around 18000 lux (measured from 4 meters and converted to 1 meter value).

Runtime on the max setting is 70-80 minutes (depends on batteries) and around 4 hours in the "low" mode.

Just hope that everyone realize that 950 lumens is a little bit exaggerated ;)

No beamshots yet.
 
Yes the SW0 is warmer.

I can appreciate both tints though and with the amount of output that the P7s put out, the CRI is not such a big issue for me.


Just wish they gave the option to get the L950 in the SWO tint as well, think the color rendition is just that little bit better especially outdoors.

Hi Jirik can you please post some outdoor beamshots and maybe some comparisons shots to the L900 when you've got some time.
