[SML] Difference between LED-specific 50-degree EDLT and "normal" EDLT?

[Matthew Breton]

Well, the big difference is the LED-specific one takes a 7.5" gel frame,  And like the other EDLT lens tubes, has a solid metal baffle at the front and rear.  Unlike the old-school 50-degree lens tube, the LED-50 has two compound lenses, so taking it apart for maintenance is a bit more work.

I haven't noticed that much difference in terms of light output or the sharpness of the optics.

Hi - wondering if anyone has any empirical knowledge between ETC's
"LED-specific 50-degree EDLT lens tubes", versus the "standard" EDLT
50-degree lens tube? (Other than very small price difference).   My
local salesdude hasn't seen them side-by-side, so he doesn't know
either.... anyone used both?

For what it's worth, these lenses would be used on either ColorSource
or S4LED Series II fixtures, with gobos, but not incandescent
fixtures.  TIA!

 - Jon
