Your low dome may happen to have better lumen output than your high dome. Even if the lumen output was identical I wouldn't characterize the throw difference as major. I have BB400, BB400Q3, MM, and MM+Q3 sandwiches, and can testify that all except the BB400 have much better throw than my LSH-S. All low dome. My LSHF-P, on the other hand, outthrows all of them except the MM+Q3. And that light just barely outnoses the LSHF-P. The MM+Q3 only gets 75 minutes on a pair of AAs but the LSHF-P gets 2 - 3 hours depending on usage. The LSHF-P is an astounding light. IMO the best EDC until the LS4 comes along.
