Ok, I'm kinda new to all of this. Mr friend got me into Flashlights and I was going to purchase the McKinley 3v CR123 7LED Type III HA Hi-Power from www.peakledsolutions.com and I was wondering which color LED I should get. Snow or White? I will be using this to work on the inside of computers and I'm not sure which one would suit me best. My Friend said White but the snow looks brighter. Help? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I think most people here would prefer the tint of the snow as opposed to the white. White 5mm leds tend to be pretty blue. I would def go for the snow if you want accurate color rendition.

I've never seen the Snow so I cannot offer any commentary on it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif

Craig, whose idea was it to send you a 1xAAA PEAK with a red LED?

Welcome to the jungle
I have heard of white and warm white Luxeon LEDS
warm white more like that of an incadescent lamp

I have a Peak AAA 3 snow LED high output and it is whiter than my Arc AAA-P. The whiter the light, the easier it is to see the markings on chips, etc.
My Peak AA 5 snow LED brass light is whiter than my Ivova X-5 although not brighter. I passed on the HO option on the AA, figured the cell would have enough problems driving 5 LEDs. Go for the snow!

It was my idea. I bought it on Ebay in May of last year, specifically to add to my website. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oh, ok. Now I noticed that on your review. I thought PEAK had sent it to you. I was wondering why PEAK would send you lights with all white LEDs and decide to send you one with a red LED.

I have Peak Shasta's in white and snow colors. The snow colored light appears to be fractionally brighter than the white colored light.
As far as color goes, there's little practical difference between them.
I would use either for looking inside a computer, as there's little difference overall between the white and snow LED's here.
