Knowledge of the neutron light-yield response is crucial to the understandingof scintillator-based neutron detectors. In this work, neutrons from 2--6 MeVhave been used to study the scintillation light-yield response of the liquidscintillators NE 213A, EJ 305, EJ 331 and EJ 321P using event-by-event waveformdigitization. Energy calibration was performed using a GEANT model to locatethe edge positions of the Compton distributions produced by gamma-ray sources.The simulated light yield for neutrons from a PuBe source was compared tomeasured recoil proton distributions, where neutron energy was selected bytime-of-flight. This resulted in an energy-dependent Birks parametrization tocharacterize the non-linear response to the lower energy neutrons. The NE 213Aand EJ 305 results agree very well with existing data and are reproduced nicelyby the simulation. New results for EJ 331 and EJ 321P, where the simulationalso reproduces the data well, are presented.
