what is the longest throwing LED flashlight in the world (non modded) which uses 18650 batteries?
Which uses
either led or hid
Single or multiple emitters
single or multiple 18650 battereis (or 18650 battery packs)
Any type of lens.
According to ANSI
Beam Distance
The distance in meters at which the flashlight produces a light intensity of 0.25 lux. This is not very bright, about equal to a full moon. This distance is not actually measured. Instead the value is calculated by taking the peak beam intensity measured above, dividing by 0.25 lux, and taking the square root of the result. For example, the Quark AA has a peak beam intensity of 1,622 cd. Divide this by 0.25 to get 6,488. Now take the square root to get 80.55. This agrees with the value on the packaging, which is rounded to 81 meters.
Which manufacturer claims to have the the longest throw to 0.25 Lux ?
The 18650 does limit it a lot, if I had to make a guess maybe a OneStopThrowShop TN31. If proprietary lion packs are ok a Ebay HID would be one of the better ones. Or if something with an internal battery pack (plug in to charge) there are some HIDs with 9" reflectors.
Well I was talking in reference to 18650 batteries you can change yourself rather than a 18650 sealed battery pack that is made beforehand and sold with the light that will cost you around $100 to replace.
With the aspheric head, it will beat out anything listed so far. Of course that's at the price of of having a square as opposed to a circle, and very, very little spill.
Without the aspheric it's still a nice light, with great throw, but definitely not the best. I wish more lights came with large aspheric heads, the throw is just phenomenal.
