Well, i'm trying. I've been trying to add attachments from my pictures for the past 2 hours! The only thing i can find is adding a URL? :confused:

Upload to imgur.com and copy the URL. Post here. Imgur is nice because it has a drag and drop interface.
 
That sucks? I have to join another website to post pictures on this website instead of just adding them from my computer pictures.:ironic:

Focus on the table, not on the emitter. :(
But I think it is a XM-L or XM-L2.
 
No thanks. I only use anglehead lights, but thanks for the offer

[/IMG]. I'm at work now and here are my options. My wife took the h502c from me:ironic:
 
So mark me down as another H502 owner... well 502"d" for me. I'd lost my beloved H51w last summer/fall and was pocketing my somewhat large Quark-X AA2 neutral since then. I dont mind the extra length, and the ouput is spectacular (though the tint isnt great) but what I really missed was the headlamp aspect of my H51 (even though I probably used it handheld as much or more). I was sure it would eventually turn up, so I wasnt in a big hury to replace. Was really hoping ZL would come out with the next replacement for it, like a H52 series. Well with camping season upon us I had to put an order in. Looked at lots of options but for the smallest size and highest output to weight ratio and awesome UI I stuck with ZL. Would have got the H51fw if it was in stock, but decided on the all flood, and really like neutral tints so thought I'd give the D a try. I was thinking I could affix it with a mini headband around my camera lenses for macro photography too since I have yet to get a ring flash. Having it on all the time might spook some insects, will have to experiment, but another reason I was looking at the high CRI choices.

And wouldnt you know, a few days after I placed my order, actually just one day before recieving my new H502d, I found my H51w. But thats ok, I guess I'm finillaly becoming a flashaholic :) I could easily get by with nothing more than my H51w, it seems to be the jack of all trades. Used the 502d now a few times, and I really do like it, both the wide flood and the tint. It is a tad bit cooler that the H51w, as expected, but just a little. No funny green or violet or any unexpected tint whatsoever, just a perfect crisp white.

That's one thing I love about neutral/warm tints...in my experience they're only either "a bit cooler" or "a bit warmer" than I expected, but never any real issues like greenish, pinkish, or variance from center to spill.

This seems to be a "thing" with CREE LEDs, or at least those from top brightness bins. My H502w showed up on Saturday, and it has a fairly strong green corona. I'm not going to send it back or anything, but it is definitely noticeable. I have an XP-G2 5000K modded Preon P0 that also has a noticeable green corona (less so than the H502w).

Is the change in color vs angle just a byproduct of efficiency, or is it just the luck of the draw with CREE? I only have one Nichia 219, but color seems to be solid as a rock at any angle.

How's the rest of the light? Any response to what firemedic is experiencing?

I have noticed that bare LED's seem to have a bit of corona to them. I wonder if there's something in that? The cool white XM-L in my malkoff mag dropin has a greenish corona. I didn't really notice it before but I usually have the reflector on. There were people complaining about the corona in the cool white H502 too, with much blame on the GITD reflector.
