I was comparing the outputs and runtimes of the SC50w+ to the SC51w and, based on Zebralight's own reported runtime numbers, it seems that the SC50w+ gets better runtimes than the SC51w. Does that sound right? :shrug:



For instance, the SC51w gets 16 days at 0.18L where the SC50w+ gets 22 days at 0.6L. Similarly, the SC51w gets 3 days at 2.2L where the SC50w+ get 4 days at 4.4L.



It's harder to compare higher levels, but here's an attempt: the SC51w get 312 lumen-hours at 26L where the SC50w+ gets 378 lumen-hours at 36L. The SC51w gets 204 lumen-hours at 120L where the SC50w+ gets 246 lumen-hours at 107L.



Did Zebralight give up overall efficiency in order to achieve the impressive Max output on the SC51w? Or am I missing something?
