Hi all,
Is there a better led than the SSC?
I'm looking at a led swop....
Cheers..

There is but changing from a SSC P4 to anything better would require a different heatsink and reflector and in some cases (like Cree) would also require a longer head to fit the proper reflector.

This is what I like to avoid :candle:

You might get a slightly better bin but there is nothing that is so good it is worth the trouble to swap yet. What don't you like about the SSC P4?

Yeah, I wouldn't change a thing in mine. It's about perfect now. 
I put a U2SWOH in my Ti PD-S "mizer".
It is noticably brighter now. In fact it is "almost" as bright as my HDS Utimate 60 that I put a USWOH in 1.5 years ago.
I almost wonder if it's really a mizer, but it does have a faint "m" written in marker, on the CB. I guess it could have been "bumped" by one of the previous owners, but if it was, I can't tell by looking.
The new LED has a colder tint though, so I am going to put a U2SVOH in it, when I get one next week.
I ordered enough to replace the U bin in my HDS, so I expect the mizer to seem dim in comparison again, after I swap it out.

im surprised no one has put a high CRI in a pd yet...
I've got a Ti PD mule that darkzero put a Nichia 083 high CRI in (with orange trits on either side of the LED).
Bought it earlier this month from him.

I have changed one of mine to a SSC P4 natural white (4000°) and love it, I also have done a few other lights as well.

Don't get me wrong. I do like the original led but I longed for higher high thats all.

You may want to look into changing the high sense resistor to push more current through. I think the stock setup is around 530mA.
