Brontelight BT31 Super Thrower review

Thanks for the review. Looks enticing.

Thank you for the review, What is the size of the reflector?

Just me being a broken record again, but imo, skip the blinkies entirely. That was almost a dealbreaker for me even getting my L2, and every time I accidentally double-tap the switch fast enough to kick it into strobe mode, it just plain pisses me off.

Who’d want to have a super-thrower with extremely-narrow-angle beam and use it in sos/beacon mode anyway? You’re shining a batsignal. That’s like putting sos/strobe/beacon on a laser-pointer.

Unno, sounds like a “teats on a bull” situation to me…

Nice review!
Thanks very good to see what kind of markerbeam (sharpies being bigger then pencil) the XHP35 makes.

Very nice review, that is an impressive light, and could be one of the inspirations for the BLF thrower under construction :slight_smile:

Great review, thanks a lot for that!! :+1: :+1: :+1:

An impressive light indeed, however, to be interesting for ME, it should have

  • no rings in the beam
  • excellent heat management
  • be modding friendly
  • have an AR coated lens
  • perfect ano
  • perfect threads
  • ano tailcap threads for lockout
  • a host only version for modding purposes (Oslon Black Flat) :stuck_out_tongue:

After all, it is not going to be “cheap” (one could endlessly discuss the meaning of this word, let’s not go there) so it should tick MOST of the boxes.
Most wishes are depending on the price level, of course.

My conclusion: good to see yet another manufacturer entering the super thrower range of lights. The more competition, the better.

@ Djoizz: I agree, the design itself could be interesting for the BLF super Thrower project……

Can the carry handle come off?

I really wish I had another thrower of this type to compare to at that range.

And a better camera that could handle the long distance shots better!

I’m going to do a full tear down soon. Then we will know how good a candidate this is.

I’m sure spending some time getting the beam focus perfect, and a fet driver this could get out a few hundred more yards

+1 ?

I’ll take a look tonight after work

Make comparison pictures with many lights.

Measure throw kcd.

Please. And thank you.

Nice review but I find it strange to review a thrower and no mention of Lux other than a claimed 500k. Is this just the claim as it looks or have I read it wrong or missed something? :question:

nice, turned on the pc to check it for on phone on 3G not doable.
looks good.

Apparently sli.mg is down again. Once it’s back up I’ll port the pictures and charts over to photobucket.

Meanwhile I’ll see if I have the runtime charts at home to repost.

sli.mg is about 4 months now dead , since i posted this : Sli.mg server issue

I saw that thread. It did come back up for a bit afterwards and I let it be.

I sure wish I could get this light. Doesn’t seem to be available anywhere though.
