It started with 1 LED. The costco luxeon. I played the beam on a white wall and it looked white... till the arrival of my SL PP 4AA Lux. That quickly became my new standard in white and the Costco LED seemed green. Now I have 2 fenix L1P's with VERY different beam colors and the SL seems blue. Each L1P on its own looks white, but both look off if shone at the same time. Plus their colors change slightly with different batteries.
The situation now is thus:
I have 2 Fenix L1Ps. I'm giving 1 to a non-discriminating friend who needs a small light. Being a budding flashaholic, I'm somewhat obessive about tint and the uncertainty in luxeons is driving me crazy. With the L1Ps, I expected to see some discrepancy, but certainly not this much. Comparing lights is getting me nowhere, so I turn to you forumites for some guidance. Which would you keep?
