Hi guys,

Im thinking of buying a SBT-90 to replace my dedomed SST90. My question is this! will it out throw a standard SST-90 which has been dedomed as i dont want to spend the extra money to find out its the same:thumbsup:

I think your question mainly depends on the Flux Bin you got for both emitters. The SBT-90 is basically a dedomed SST-90 and the emitting surface is the same size. So if you get the same lumens with both emitters you will have about the same throw. Judging from the data sheets on luminus website there are better Bins for SST-90 these days, so if you already have a high-Bin SST-90 you couldn't get a SBT-90 at the monent with a better surface-brightness, which would in your case mean a decrease in throw.

A SBT-70 is likely a better choice. In my SR90 I went from stock SBT-90 doing about 1900 lumens and 144k. I then dedomed it and went to about 1250 lumens and 195k. Then installed a SBT-70 and when back up to about 1725 lumens and a nice 325k.
