Request for Sundrop vs Sundrop XR-U beamshots

[coldshot]

Can someone who owns both of these models put up some beamshots? I love my XR-U, but would like a little more flood, but not as much as my Mule. I'm wondering if the older Sundrop is the ticket. TIA.

The main difference is the XR-U is a little longer head designed to accomodate taller emitters than the Nichia 083 used with the older SD head. The beam pattern as far as I can tell really varies more based on emitter choice than the small difference between the heads.

Per the Sundrop thread, with Nichia 083 Sundrop --> 75 degree flood, XRU --> 50 degree flood.

Thanks GS. I Looked at those some time ago and forgot about them. Thinking I'm going on the hunt for a old skool SD.
