26650 thrower ?

Utorch UT02

I like my Convoy L2, and my KDIY K5s. The L2 seems to have more distance, but the K5s has a lot of spill and a LOT of light.

I’ve been considering trying a K6 (http://kaidomain.com/p/S027308.KDIY-K6-Cree-XHP35-HD-White-6500K-2600-Lumens-5-Mode-LED-Flashlight-Black), but I don’t really need any more throwers. And it’s only a little less expensive than the Manker.

HaikeLite SC01 XHP35 HI 2000 Lumens

Convoy L2

The L2 is the ultimate thrower, a nice tight pencil-beam, but if you don’t mind modding, the F13 is quite good. Nice deep reflector, lots more pockettable, and you can get pretty good 22mm drivers for it.

I have L2 and UT-02.
L2 is a better thrower…but it’s just a thrower. UT-02 is overall a great light.
Frankly I can recommend both, depending on one’s needs.

Acebeam EC 60

I like my UT02 a lot. Very good light.

On the other hand, depending on needs, the UF-1504 could be a very good option.

Look what Thrunite got coming: Catapult V6. Almost identical light but with more output. And with 20% preorder discount, so it’s actually just 60 dollars.

If you want *REAL*throw out of a relative compact, 1 x 26650 light look no further: Amutorch group buy BLF

Assuming the output is the same as it’s predecessor, if will have at least 200Kcd throw and with a little modding (spring bypass, if need be replacing the wires) up to 260Kcd.
And it looks bloody good, too!

The UTorch UT02 is virtually an exact replica of the U21, cheaper too.

A friend sent me a prototype light that is yet to be identified, looks like the U21/UT02 but with some fancier inlays on the tube and fins in the head. I pulled the XHP-35 in favor of an XP-L HI and put ToyKeeper’s Anduril firmware on a scratch built driver and it’s awesome! :slight_smile: Wish I knew who made this one…

Edit: FWIW, this copy of the UT02 is pulling 6.39A at the tail and it’s making 1745 lumens from the XP-L V3 3A HI emitter, 211Kcd throw.

I vote for the thrunite catapult v6… use the code v6 and it came out to $59.99. Free 26650 battery is included. I have thrunite light before and the driver is bulletproof… thrunite make excellent light.

Chris Tanner has a video up now

I dont know what ut02 is… maybe u2 = manker u22 ? U22 is rated 509 meters and thrunite v6 is rated 750 meters…

Manker make good light so thrunite too…

You cant go wrong with v6 for $60 which also came with free 26650… good luck…

UTorch UT02 here around $39 with coupon and sometimes around $30 when on sale from what I've heard.

Only once it was for $30, regular deal is$40.

If it has to be a thrower as compact as possible the Thrunite Catapult V6 would be my first choice.
Up to 195.000 cd with Imalent battery, 187.500 with Thrunite battery.
Reflector diameter is only 50 mm.
Around 60$ or 50€ is cheap, by the way.

Price is cheap! Give it a shot
