Budget thrower advice

This Convoy

I live in a rural area as well. I am normally looking out to the 100 or 200 yard mark. I like the Thrunite Catapult V6 in NW. It works great, the UI is great and it even has built in recharging.

I don’t need warm or high CRI light. I just need light. 150 yards is about the limit that I can see. It’s very difficult to see beyond that without some external help. For me anyway. The Thrunite is rock solid and dependable. Besides the Acebeam E10, it’s the best little thrower I have. Not to mention the run time is quite nice with the 26650.

Uh… Sofirn C8G?

You are too powerful to be kept alive!

I don’t have the K1 though I’ll probably end up getting one next year. It looks to be a throw beast.

I have the GT Mini, the KR1 with the W1, a C8+ with the W1, a KR1 with the W1 and the FT03 with the XPH50.2.

They all really reach out there. The beams of W1 lights are so thin and so ‘not super bright’ overall that they feel like they shine the farthest to my eyes. The FT03 just is a super bright light overall AND throws well, it’s probably the best overall choice and a great value.

I like the feel of the KR1 the most and it’s fairly pocketable so it gets the most use with me.

For a dedicated thrower… I’d really think about just getting the K1. I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets close to twice the distance of the others I’ve mentioned though it’s likely the least useful light overall for a general purpose light.

i have convoy c8 i think… now i want upgrade it if there is “cheap” and better one?
what is this C8 w/ Osram WF2?
Is what you recommend. 18650 thrower and cheap… thanks.

usually a ‘thrower’ can be pretty cheap if you do not mind cold/neutral LEDs, and large head size

What actuall KCD for Convoy L21A KW CULPM1? or any guess?

Simple math my friend, the L21A with CULPM1 indicates it produces 1190 meters of throw so based on FL1 standard it would produce 354kcd give or take.

K1 is a budget thrower? BLF, what did you do… :person_facepalming:

well compared to LEPs…its quite budget

Are there budget LEPs? :stuck_out_tongue:

k1 is a budget LEP, essentially

I think I’ll self-impose a maximum of one flashlight on the way from Hank rule… D4V2 coming soon :smiley:

ya im getting k1, go big or go home

Why YES THERE IS ! its the Non branded LEP sold by Neal from nealsgadgets OR Vin from skylumen ! The price with discounts sits around $150~ usd ! which is a hell of a bargain !

That’s more expensive than any flashlight that I have. But it’s cheaper than buying half a dozen budget flashlights… :innocent:

Really? Whats it called? Is the quality good?

It might be this one?

It’s begs for a regulated driver, but otherwise, I think the build is appropriate for the price (relative to leps) and practical frequency of use.
