You guys wanting the Neutral or Cool white?
Always neutral when it's an option. By the way: interesting light!

Cool white = more power, more efficiency, white beam, not yellow.

I will pose a question here. How could cool white have more output and be more efficient at the same time? Anything is possible but that does not make sense to me!
Swan, entirely agree with you. [emoji1]I guess as an example, if you look at each time Cree releases a Brighter led bin [ eg xml2 u3 - u4 ] they are more efficient because they require less current at the same lumen level.
Take for example the fact that a zebra mk111 w can only produce 1150 lumens for the same amount time and current draw that the zebralight sc600 mk111 CW at 1300 lumens.
When i first joined this forum i bought many neutral/warm lights at the advice of others, but after a while, i found they make anything coloured white, cars, walls, sand etc look un natural. I really like the premium cw 1D tints in xpg2 xml2 and xpl and i have slowly changed back any led that is unsightly yellow, brown or nichia pink.
I agree totally tint is personal preference never seen a white neutral only yellow.
...nor green.Cool white = more power, more efficiency, white beam, not yellow.
I preordered one directly from ThruNite...
Of course the K70 has a brighter spill because it has more lumens than TN42.
K70 = 2600 lm
TN42 = 2000 lm
But i measured 507.500 cd (K70) against 682.500 cd (TN42)

Ok,,,,,,,,thanks. I was NOT up on the specs of the K70!!! I was simply observing from a visual perspective.

The TN42 only draws 2.2 A from the batteries.
There will be two versions of the light, one with battery pack and the other (i tested) with battery carrier. Shorter unprotected cells fit as well as longer protected cells.
Because of the (only) 2.2 amps on turbo high current cells are not neccessary.
