I so far have 6 cree lights and 10 Seul based lights.
Personally
- all cree lights have a green tinge regardless of bin. One only has a nice whiteish tint. 3 were upgraded lux lights with the warmest binned crees i could find that made little difference.
- Seul lights (again based on the warmest bins i could find and all upgraded from Lux) range from beautifully warm incan like to greeny brown. Most tend to be the former.
- After aging crees keep their greenish tint, seuls move from warm to cooler... one has obtained a purple tint others still on the warmer side of white.
- Beam quality and throw is the seuls forte, they are much better in this than the cree's (for the same reflector size)
Before anyone jumps in and says tint is subjective, all tint observations were made based on the best of a group of HDS U60GT's (and the only one not seulmated)
So my personal preference is for a Seul led, all my crees are in the process of being passed to new more appreciative owners. All i have left now is a Ti mccre and 2 CLE's
