Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • People have been saying the f150r is just a sbt90.2 with more flood and more throw, which means it should outperform the sft90 by quite a bit. Having warmer ccts is also a good enough reason for me to get it
  • The performance difference between F150R and SFT40/70 is just not comparable. F150R probably has close to double the lumens and candela. It is a lot more efficient, and can actually handle high amps without destroying itself.
  • In summary, the F150R beam wise has a simiar beam to that of the SFT90, but it's a slightly bit brighter and available in many CCTs.
  • F150R is a beast though.
  • The advantage of the F150 is that it offers a wider range of CCT options compared to the SBT90.2. Calculating the peak candela and the candela reading 30 seconds after activation reveals that the Throwbeam reaches a distance of 1,900 met...

Cons

  • As much as I'm becoming a huge fan of the F150R, it needs better color rendering if it's going to go down to 1800K-3000K... Otherwise, it looses out to the much better CRI SFT40/SFT70 at that 3000K.....
  • Looks like a bit more lumens and throw, at the expense of cri and a greener tint.

F150R competes with SFT-90 and SBT90.2, again, excellent performance.

from current data available, F150R has same lumen as 73B, but only 1/2 the size, so it throws way better, absolutely worth getting it and test ~

F150R is actually as bright as LHP73B but with better throw than SFT-90.
