Most Powerful Flashlights in the World (by throw distance)

Actually there will be a review of the Lance of Ra coming up shortly.

I would like to see a list of the most powerful flashlights in the world per dollar. :smiley:

The Maxabeam would probably do very well…

Well it’s also #1 for LED flashlights that are available on the market :stuck_out_tongue:
Guinness apparently didn’t take Ra’s Maxablaster submission because it wasn’t a retail flashlight.

If I ever build a light that makes the top 3, I will call it _blaster :smiley:

Looking forward to that!

Using the theoretical numbers for the GT, where will it fall on the curve?

Anti blaster!

Theoreticall it will do 1Mcd, so 2000m throw.

Thanx!

To put it into perspective… I simply can’t imagine what the ones to the far left of that curve are like.

Here I added 3 flashlights (red Xs) for reference, the M3XS-UT from olight, the TN42, and the potential BLF GT assuming around 1.25Mcd.

:person_facepalming: What an idiot I am. Sorry, I meant to the far right. It seems I don’t know my left from my right today.

Haha :slight_smile: well yeah, it’s definitely hard to comprehend just how powerful those flashlights are xD crazy stuff

I have added many more lights and graphs to my google speadsheet. Maybe you also want to add them to yours.

Will update asap.
Unfortunately the Hyperblitz and the Zielscheinwerfer won’t make it on my list since they are both tethered, not “portable”.
If people want to see those lights they can go to your document instead :slight_smile:

Actually the Zielscheinwerfer ist not tethered. Alex made it portable later on (although rather heavy).

The Hyperblitz has a built-in battery.

The blitz short-arc moon blaster I’m not so sure about. He doesn’t mention a battery.

You’re right, I was looking at the wrong images that weren’t the hyperblitz.

I’m not sure if the Zielscheinwerfer counts as “portable” based on the guidelines I mentioned at the start, do you think it can be carried in one hand for many minutes with the ballast and batteries and everything?
Looks a bit too heavy to me, but idk.

I assumed that the moon blaster was battery powered and portable if it is only 120W, but without images it is hard to be sure.
I will have to look into it.

Well no, I would guess two hands for a short period of time. It is a tank light after all…

List has been updated, and stuff put into a chart :slight_smile:
Images updated too in the original post.

Updated again, this time a few more lights were added such as the “BLF GT” and “HID Scheinwerfer”
The_Driver still holds the record for a single-LED reflector thrower at 1.5Mcd but the BLF GT is very close :slight_smile:

When people start modding the GT with Black Flat or Synios LEDs we will probably see 2Mcd+

I wonder where you always find all these lights :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, you’re right, I’m left, she’s gone. (a song, made famous by the :crown: )
