From the published photos it looks like 16 pieces of Cree XHP70.3 so a "half" thrower, they sacrificed the launch in favor of lumens because with 16 pieces of Sft40 they would have certainly had more launch and also a lower price ... I would have inserted in the center a nice SBT90.2 and all around XHP70.3 would have lost some lumens but it would have definitely had a double better value as flooder and thrower.
