Tonight I went out in my woods and compared the tints of two U2's , one which was very cool and white(#1) , the other was yellow/green(#2). First off, prior to getting the 2nd U2(1) my "old" U2 (2) seemed very bright and white until set to the 3 level and below which then appeared greenish. Once I had the new light, it was quite obvious that it was MUCH whiter than my old one but didn't seem as bright.It , however, remained white as the levels were reduced. On white wall hunting both displayed an annoying donut.
Here are my (novice)observations when using the light in the woods:
(1): the light would not throw as far as (2) and the corona created a haze or misty effect. It also appeared to not show as true a color as (2). (2) also displayed a better "shadow" effect or more 3D appearance on the trees that were illuminated. They just seemed more life-like and natural. (1)'s beam looked diffused and "cloudy".
Having used both U2's inside I would have first chosen (1) due to its whiteness, however after comparing the beams qualities outside in nature, I would choose (2). I guess since (2) had a more yellow tint, it compared more to the qualities of an incadescent light.
In any case, if iIhad to choose just one of these U2's for overall performance, it would have to be my older yellow tinted one.
This is just my untrained, inexperienced, laymans opinion in real world usage.
Has anyone else experienced these differences in tints on light performance and how ones eyes perceives them? Hope my ramble didn't bore you Dave
