Agreed, it would make a far more practical beam in a light with reflectors this size IMO. Despite the earlier statement of similar lights to a potential EC03 w/SST-40s already existing, the only things close are the Nightwatch NS43 (limited distribution, weird UI) and Sofirn C8F (also weird UI for many used to both Narsil/Anduril and dual-switch lights). Anduril is a BIG selling point for many people on BLF and elsewhere.
The NS53 has existed right alongside the NS43 as an option this whole time though. Now there is also the FW21 Pro which made it to market faster and is probably much better known due to how popular that family of lights is - it is extremely similar in concept to the current EC03. I don’t see how having at least one other emitter choice than the extremely floody XHP50.2 with all of it’s tint shift would be a bad call in a light with this design and these features.
So here’s hoping for a run with different emitters down the line :+1:
