" ... This light comes with two different lenses. ... I personally would recommend switching the lens from the “comfort lens” which comes installed to the “high energy lens,” just because I found the “comfort lens” to be more blueish and less “happy.” I do enjoy this light, it’s nice and bright and really helps on cloudy, dark days during the winter. ...
