I recently purchased a Wurkkos TS30S because I wanted a thrower with the infamous SBT90.2 LED.

I am a little disappointed in the output/range. I am comparing it to my Astrolux FTO3 I purchased a few years ago, not the new version, and I see no difference in lumens/throw between the two. I wish I could remember what LED is in my FTO3 but I cannot. I do know that the FTO3 was no where near 6000 lumens claimed by the Wurkkos TS30S but the output seems very similar. I have tested them several nights with the same Eve 50PL battery and I am still undecided which one is the further thrower or puts out more lumens.

I guess I was expecting more from the SBT90.2 LED?

Is it because the TS30S has a combined throw/ flood beam - 11° spotlight and 59° floodlight - so a portion of that light output is being used to provide the flood beam.

The FT03 may have the SST40? It appears to have virtually no flood and a very tight spot. Astrolux FT03 Luminus SST40 Flashlight Review - ZeroAir Reviews
