I'm looking for new addition to my collection. I'm interested to have a good thrower this time. Since i already have P7 and multi-cree lights i could try an MC-E led this time. What would be good high power MC-E thrower?
Your best bet would be a multi-cree emitter light, that doesn't happen to be the TR-1200. The 501 MCE makes so much light that it throws decently, but it really is a flood light. SST 50/90 lights also an option, given they come with a SMO reflector. Some claim the Aurora SH-40 draws 5A, but not sure if I'd reccomend it.
Even at 1A, the TR-1200 throws qutie well. If you can find something that has better build quality, that might be the one for you. Most people will reccomend you single emitter lights for throw, but if you want the best of both, that's the way to go.
The two may not necessarily go hand in hand ... Many low powered lights throw well , simply because the way the light is focused ...
Piritlight , RQ , HS-802 , and many others WF-400 / 500 / 600 etc are good throwers .
But is throw all you want ? What about beam profile ? A pencil tight beam [ HS-802 ] , a slightly wider beam [ RQ ] , or wider again but still throws ?
Almost all of the larger head single die [ XR-E ] lights will throw .
If you have a P60 host , how about 28mm Lens ... Turn it into a thrower
thats my casing. then i use the 14mm q5-wc with the DX 1050ma driver.
this thing will blind someone over 200 yards out. trust me ive done it to people. its deeper OP reflector does the job well
HOWEVER, theres no garuntee at getting an OP reflector. my most recent order, i decided to get another case since i love it so much. i ended up with a smooth reflector.... not happy about that. but im making that one into an R5 with a shiningbeam.com 1.4 amp driver...
if you wait a week or two, ill let you know via pictures the distance on that one
but my best carry on is def this q5. super bright. lasts well over an hour, no modes. and LOTS of throw, with a useable enough spill
oh yea, and it has PLENTY of heat dispersion for a q5. the aluminum is SOLID, not cheap feeling at all. my p60 flashlights ALL feel cheap and lightweight!!!!! even loaded with heavy 18650s!
