Maybe it is indeed faulty light since when I look again at the spot it seems not really symmetrically intense, furthermore it has a scratch on the head. Maybe it is a faulty returned sample ?
I charged the batteries till the green light comes on but it marginally throws more than the EA41 (2015 version).

Either you got a faulty light or the batteries are not properly charged. With fully charged cells the high mode is significantly brighter than mid mode. But even at mid mode SR52UT will totally outthrow EA41, no question about that.
