Which of these 18650 flashlights is a better thrower?

it would be helpful to know how far you want to light stuff up.
Even 100m is a distance
I would chose a Q8 because of beeing a universal lamp and decide upon this if you need more reach. My next choice would be then an Emisar D1s. Compact and a good UI.

Usually the best throw is the light with the biggest deepest reflector

Emitter has a lot to do with it also.

I will second the utorch ut02 also. Don’t have any of the others listed, but it is a great “little” thrower. Can’t remember if that light came with the 18650 sleeve, but if not, they are cheap. And you can go 26650 when you decide you want higher capacity

Of course, small emitter, big reflector = throoooooooooow!
