Any reason to pay the extra for XPL-HI anymore if the SST-20 have about the same lumens and more throw?

No, unless the tint sucks. Even my daughter was saying last night how nice the tint was on the XP-L HI, and she had no idea what tint was. She asked why everything looked natural with this flashlight and not her husbands.
How much extra throw will you get with 10,000cd? Cant wait to see some beamshots of both as a comparison.

Yep, I love the tint on my XP-L HI D4. Someone needs to buy an SST-20 and report back! Curious about the 95CRI options as well. If they are good, $48 is a great price.

The 95 cri SST20s are spectacular. I like the 4000k 95cri SST20 with a minus green filter over it more than the famous Nichia 219B SW45K R9080. The added throw because of their smaller size is icing on the cake.

I have an amber aux and 3000k 95cri SST20 D4S ordered now. Haven't experienced the 3000k variant yet.

^ What is good source for lens filters, have you used B&H Photo?
I have a SST20 Amber aux 4000k 95cri in cart. How does tint compare to xpl hi 4000k?
Thanks!

Me to! But I wish Hank would get some high CRI 5000k's for this flashlight.

I promised myself absolutely NO more purchases until I check out the new Zebralight SC700d, but if this happened I don't think I could resist.

Hardly, you only bought one right?

I am on my third. And itching for the SST-20 5000k. But it is not high CRI.
Same here, can't stop collecting these Emisars. Toying between ordering the 5000k sst-20 or going for a high cri 4000k.

I didn't really appreciate the size difference before?
I appreciate it now!

Nice! how do you like it? 219c right? I have one of them on order to compliment my XPL-HI D4.

So far it is LOVE at first light!

Really like the 2ndary leds too and the advanced features but why would we not get a manual of any kind with the light?

Love the 219C really but knew that I would.

Also am really liking the size.

No complaints at all and everyone who sees it wants one too.

Well being Hank will not be using the Osram, CSLNM1.TG LED, in the D1S, and no one posted anything about the SST-20 5000K: 4000lm / 55,000cd, I decided to get one today. I just have to see that tint, as well as the beam profile.

I said I was going to gift what I did not
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]like, but I like them all! Sure do hope Hank gives me one with a real nice tint, because I have yet to get a tint I did not like. And I am a Zebra-head, nice tint is my thing.

In 12 or 13 days I will post my thoughts on it.

He will if he keeps on offering stuff that push my buttons. And nice tint as well. I have yet to see anything go over the BBL.

Hank, where is the high CRI for the 5000k,s? I am ready.

Just received my sst20 3000k
Can't wait to try it out tonight.
So far though very impressed with the light. It has a pretty well defined hotspot though which I wasn't particularly expecting.
Red aux leds look cool!!

SST20 is even more throwy than XPL HI, because it's so small. Basically think of it as an XPG2.
