Just a rough answer, the SST40 might pull 3.5A at 1000 lumen OTF, while the 50.2 might pull 3A. So it looks like the 50.2 will be a bit more efficient at 1000 lumen.
One thing to consider, the SST-40 will probably look brighter at 1000 lumen than the 50.2 at 1000 lumen because the light will be focused to a smaller hotspot and look more intense. The 50.2 will spread it’s 1000 lumens over a bigger area making it look less intense.
I noticed this when dealing with similar sized lights using the 50.2 and the 70.2. I like 1000 lumen when walking around with the 70.2, but the 50.2 looks just as bright at 600 lumen. It’s about the intensity difference. Since I don’t mind the smaller hotspot, I tend to use the 50.2 at the lower level and get the benefits of less heat and longer battery life.
MKayze: JasonWW: BlueSwordM:No, worse runtime.
I don’t know, this is a question of efficiency. If we pick a specific brightness level, like 500 lumen, I’m not sure which will run longer. The 50.2 is 4 x XP-G3 so maybe they will run more efficiently.
On Turbo, the bigger 50.2 will suck up the juice much faster.
I should have asked which will be more efficient at 1000 Lumen.

Thank you for the explanation. By the looks of it, I think I will wait for the 50.2 version rather than getting the SST40 now. Quick question about the throw difference though. What’s the % in throw difference ?
The 50.2 will have 33% less throw than the sst40.
There is a video a page back showing this.

Do you mean both lights maxed out?
The SST-40 should throw farther.
Do you mean with both lights at 1000 lumen? The SST-40 will throw further for sure.
The 50.2 will have 33% less throw than the sst40.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It shows both lights maxed out.
SST-40 = 900 meters
50.2 = 730 meters
In you go by distance and not candela, the 50.2 has about 19% less throw. Or the SST-40 has about 23% more throw.
Keep in mind these throw numbers vary based on the battery used and how they are measured.

Thank you!
i prefer
left hand SST40
right hand XHP50.2 3v
win-win hahaha

Yes, unless you want to pay full price.
code for for xhp50.2.please
Replied to most.
Order placed, thank you freeme.
Ordered thx Freeme
Order placed, thanks freeme!
Thank you!
I’m about to place an order with bezel but bezel code is not working
