I just got my SC64c LE and I can compare the beam in the following ways:
-The beam shape (size of the hot spot and proportional brightness in the spill) is about the same as the cool white SC64
-It's less bright than the SC64, but not by a huge amount.
-The beam is slightly warmer than the SC64w HI (the SC64w HI is on the slightly orange side of neutral to my eyes)
-The beam is not nearly as yellow as the SST-20 4000K used in an Emisar D4. I prefer the tint in the SC64c LE, which is warm but more neutral.
I'm not a tint snob, but I like what I see. I don't notice any tint shift in the beam, like I can easily notice with my H600d IV and SC700d. It's about as evenly tinted as the SC64w HI, except that it's a warmer white and the hot spot is broader.
Also, it did come shipped in the cardboard product box with the shipping label slapped right over the product label, which I find annoying for resale (although I have received flashlights from ZL where the product box was shipped in a padded mailer). You can remove the shipping label and preserve the product label if you are really careful and warm it up first, but it's easy to rip the product label accidentally. Incidentally, the USPS tracking showed this as "Pre-Shipment, Irving, TX" up until last night.
