For a long time I having been carrying an H51w as my main EDC light and a Quark high CRI mini AA as a backup light. While I am able to use the Quark as a headlamp almost as well as the H51w, it is not as useable as a necklight as the H51w is. This is how I use my lights 80% of the time.
To simplify things, I have decided to buy another ZL light so I can EDC two functionally similar lights. But which ZL light?
Almost two years ago, I bought the H51w because I like the idea of being able to use a diffuser film for a floody beam and take it off when I need more throw. Well, I have never taken the diffuser film off since owning the light. It's clear that my usage calls for a floody beam.
I am hoping someone who has both the the H51w and the H51wf would answer some questions more me.
Is the beam profile of the H51wf more even than the H51w with a diffuser film?
In other words, is the beam of the H51wf better than the beam of the H51w with a diffuser film?
Thank you.
