SST-40 or XHP50 in an Astrolux FT03?

Artiet59:

I own both (all 3 actually -sbt90.2 ) and they are some of my favorite lights. You hit the nail with the tint, the tint on sst40 does look better (preference). I did dedome my xhp50 ft03 and put a -green lees filter on it and its a nice warmer thrower now, though.

Case for the sst40-
it’s throw is obviously farther then xhp50, lumens obviously less (to the eye that is)
they both handle the heat of their emitters well, but the sst40 handles turbo heat exceptionally well
Dedome sst40 and throw REALLY seems further then the xhp50

I like them both and (because i have a problem) i am glad i have them both. But to be completely honest, if i could only have one i would buy the xhp50 (even if i didn’t dedome). Its lumen output is awesome and it handles the heat really well. :+1:

since you have 3 of these, do you happen to know the answer to my other post
