Seeing that I just ordered a new drop-in for my P20C2 (Has the R5 in it now). I'm curious how two lights with similar emitters may perform (beam profile wise).
I own a P-Rocket with the Xm-L Neutral tint T5. The reflector on this light isn't very deep but deeper than the P20 and a larger diameter.
The P20C2 has a more narrow (diameter at the bezel and emitter) and shorter reflector. I'm curious how these may compare as I've ordered the Cool White T6 XM-L.
I'm thinking that since at the emitter the P20 reflector is more narrow it'll have a tighter hotspot and with a smaller diameter at the bezel a tighter but somewhat brighter spill. The P-Rocket's reflector doesn't fit right against the emitter thus I think allowing a larger hotspot and larger but dimmer spill.
This should pair well with the P-Rocket as it will offer me similar power (720 LED Lumens vs. 810) but with longer runtimes (2.1A vs. 2.8A in the P-Rocket) and a slightly more efficient LED T6 vs. T5. Also, the P20's form factor is smaller... it's thinner and about a half inch shorter with a smaller diameter head for easier pocket carry.
It's too bad they didn't offer a 5A tint bin XM-L because I would have been all over that. As the 3A on my P-Rocket is on the cool side of neutral for me and I didn't really want to take the R4 and/or Q4 routes.
Any input or thoughts?
