If you had $400.00 for a thrower would you get ?

[ma_sha1]

My vote goes to Firefox3 HID.
225,000 lux@1 meter throw
5000 lumens
Under $300
Fit in Palm of the hand

I’d probably get the Elektro Lumens search and rescue.
I like the short stubby body with big head.
It uses 18650’s, I got a lot of those.
Simple 2 mode.
Wayne always overbuilds the heatsink, and the body is built like a tank.
With the money I save, I can buy something else.

Good call, I thought I posted that earlier. I guess it didn’t stick.

Which shops sell Firefox 3?

[bose301s]

Thrunite TN31, but then again I am biased towards buying Cree based lights.

[willie]

Quad PT121green or red with an Exide to power it.

[blueb8llz]

i recommend the varapower turbo from lamda. i have one and its a beast.

[Anzycpethian]

I’d say TN31 but I’d wait some months for the manufacturer to upgrade whatever turns out to be negative about the light….

Very attractive torch and problems were fixed. Thanks this would be close to what I’m looking for in size to mount on a .308, does it have a 800 to 1000 meter throw is the question…….

Electrolumens don’t mess around ! And all of it with a SST-90 led…… Amazing !

I don’t know who voted for the 85w eBay HID but let me tell you that they are the absolute worst at throwing.
They only throw far due to sheer brightness, but the reflector isn’t designed for pure throw and hence they suck at throwing for long distances.
If you’re looking at a HID, you want a spotlight for throw.

I have a comparison here of an 85w HID: eBay/Aliexpress 85W vs SkyRayKing, TF TR-1200 beamshots PICS UPDATED AGAIN. MORE BEAMSHOTS ADDED.

Although they appear to throw far, they’re nothing compared to 40w HIDs with larger reflectors.

I had a 35 watt…… And liked it …. I wonder how an 85 watt compares ?

I second this motion …….

SR90… The best single emitter thrower I know. But if it was my own money i’d never buy it.

A lot of SR90 owners are selling them on eBay because they are collecting dust in the box unused… It’s more just to show off… I need a working edc light that can be easily carried and not collecting dust… Thanks everyone, I’m getting a new picture of what’s out there and what it means to be a real flashaholic … J)

Love the reviews, the 18650 power(have tons of those), the size is optimal to edc, and mainly the power modes down to 1 lumen…. It is really an impressive torch !

There’s also another way of looking at this.
Since Wayne is a custom builder.
Perhaps he could be coaxed into installing a SBT-90 LED for even more throw.
Depending if the LED matches the reflector well.

2 new 22 inch LCD! now that’s some throw!

[CEHepp]

Spark SP6 in neutral white.

[blinded]

small, decent spill, awesome throw, light. Are there any serious contenders?
Well, yeah, it does whine a bit.

Man, I just bid on a Fire-Foxes ff3 40watt hid I found on ebay…. Is in the USA and I might get it for $200.00 … Is this a great light… I don’t see many, or much info on them ?
