Anyone have strong opinions on this? I’d like to build an L2, kind of a semi-tight beam thrower. As opposed to a small-die, tight pencil-beam.

Unsure about the emitter though. How would the SST-40 compare with an XPL-HI?
How hard is it to de-dome an SST-40, and would there be significant difference in terms of lumen output and cd ?
Do you like to build it yourself?
There is an L21a with SST40 available.
Oherwise i’d suggest an Astrolux FT03 with SST40, which is an awesome light, It comes with Anduril, it has good throw but due to the large die it will not end up with a pencil beam.
And even more important, it’s cheap, there are enough codes around
