looking to buy a new light for looking for worm casts in the sand flood beam is best with no hotspot but unsure what is best i tend to prefer the neutral lights but any experts out there know what will be the best out of zebralight range.
4000k or 5000k ?

the floody range i find is better than the flood range

Tachead, great pics, need an edit though, c for a d.
I'm a little slow and I figured it out, everyone probably gets it anyways.

Here is the H600Fd MKIII on the left and H600Fd MKIII on the right.https://i.imgur.com/NusG6GD.jpgI find the "d" is best for daytime use and the "c" is best for nighttime.
The H600Fd looks much better than the H600Fc which is a bit too yellow orange. The neutral/rosy tint of your 5000k H600Fd in your picture looks exactly like the 4000k 5D tint on my Emisar D4 and Armytek Wizard Pro v3 XPL, which are about perfect for me. I recently returned a Zebralight SC5c MkII XPL2 4000k CRI 93-95 because the tint was just horrible. It appeared more like 3500k but that wasnt the real problem. It was the greenish tint that really bothered me especially after being spoiled by the beautiful 4000k 5D tint on the D4 and Wizard Pro XPL.

Hey Tachead,

That beamshot comparison is interesting to me because when I look at the beam for my H600Fc IV, it looks closer to your photographed H600Fd III.. Comparing real life to a photo will obviously leave a lot of a room for error..

When I compare my H600Fc IV to my H53c, I have very little question that they are both the same average CCT: the H600Fc's tint is like a mix of the H53c's hotspot and outer spill's tint

The camera's white balance and your eyes white balance were adapted to different color temperatures, that's all.
