Today I received another L4 (...no comments accepted). This one has very subtle difference with my first one.
The bezel carries both CE and FCC marks, while the one I bought about four months ago carries only the CE mark.
The Z57 of the new L4 has a smooth click and requires very little pressure for constant on, while the Z57 on my "old" L4 requires thumb tip pressure for constant on.
The biggest difference, anyway, is with the LED. I tought my first L4 to be very bright. The new L4 has almost 20% more brightness according to my homebrew lux meter.
Also, I tought my first L4 to be pure white color. Wrong: it looks greenish compared to my new one.
Both of them, anyway, blows away any other Luxeon based light I own, and the new L4, on close distance, is brighter than E2 with MN03 (60 lumen).
Regards
Anthony
