If you want jaw-dropping throw, nothing beats having a Black Flat in a light. Vinh at Skylumen can probably mod a Black Flat in a Manker U21 or GT Mini for maybe around 150. I know that’s a bit above your budget, but IMO the Black Flat’s throw is worth it.
The Catapult V6 is an amazing light, I fully recommend it.
There are only 9 left in white color only. I have this light and purchased it for $46 US, it is worth every penny, my favorite so far, Love it.
Make sure you get the SMOOTH REFLECTOR aka SMO for the 1200m throw, actual throw depends on weather conditions.
I have the Black NW also, waited for it to restock. Using 30Q’s give great runtime. Good throw for a medium size light. It’s my daily traveler to work. Keep it in my lunch tote. Enjoy when it arrives.
I have the Astrolux MF02, and I’m very happy with it - great thrower
If you already have signed up with M4DM4X, he has a code for it which will make it much less that $100 from Banggood.
Sillen and CNCman have both recommended the Haikelite MT07S-HI XHP35 which I believe is a fantastic torch as well - at an unbelievable price.
I don’t have one to compare with the Astrolux, but I have the MT07S XHP70 which is a flooder, and excellent quality.
So final decision made… I have ordered Emisar D1S for rifle light and Niwalker BK-FA30S vastro for best thrower under 100 $… Now one of the longest waitings in life… really looking forward to test them… Thanks a lot for advice
