Maxtoch XSWORD L2K // 2000 Meter Laser Tech Thrower // Full Review

+1

So max lumens you got was 376? No where near the 500?

Glad to do it.

Your Welcome ……… It is a great technology to get the throw without having to go into the super high lumens and all the heat and high amperage for sure.

considering someone spends over 5000 bucks for custom flashlights, i think there will be some guys

The MAX Lumens was 417 @ start……the 376 is what it held through the entire run time until the LVP cut off. I think even if this light was only a 300 lumens light though it would still easily achieve a mile of throw , because in the medium mode with my measured 224 lumens it is still making 943kcd , which should come out to around 1.1 or 1.2 miles of throw as far as the ANSI meter.

Aha I see! Thanks for the clarification. Am currently hoping to see a 3km reach soon since its easily getting 2.5km roughly

For what it’s worth, I pointed the XSword I have at a water tower 1.9 miles distant and the water tower can be seen in the ensuing photo. It was a bad night to do this, humidity was bad and the bugs were out en-masse, but still the tower and it’s vertical legs can be made out as illuminated by this light, even from almost 2 miles away! I’m not going to say it was illuminated highly, it wasn’t, but still, even using the more inexpensive Canon G1X camera with a 1600ISO setting you can look at the image in full size, look through the mess of bugs flying around, and pick out the water tower in the dark night. (would be so much easier to distinguish if it weren’t for the illuminated flying insects!) It was a quick try and I had to leave very early the following day so there hasn’t been another chance since then, what with the amounts of rain that we’ve been seeing.

SOOC, zero re-touching…

And the little barn at 620 yds distant, clearly and pretty highly illuminated by the XSword…

35 lm/W at high? That’s incredibly good.

Robo, did maxtoch mention any estimates on the lifespan of the emitter?

Yeah but I think those people prefer spending $5k on a single superflashlight rather than $5k on 10 different flashlights that all basically do the same thing :confused:

Robert, there is no emitter.

I think the laser is supposed to be good for 10,000 hours, not 100% sure on that.

Very cool. Nice job. I don’t really have a need for a thrower larger than a C8 really but, this light makes me want to get one. I wish it was a little more affordable although I do understand this kind of performance comes at a price. Maybe I can save my pennies up for one. Thanks again.

I have not heard or seen anything on the life span of the laser source, I will see if Maxtoch can give me a number on that.

Also thanks toddcshoe

I own a Maxtoch light and its build quality is top-notch, even better that some of the major players currently in the market:

Oh you just had to show that one didn’t you tatasal? I’ve been trying to find one for a while now, made the mistake of letting mine go to the neighbors son and really wish I still had it.

Nice looking light, for sure. :slight_smile:

Yeah, very nice looking light. I actually posted those photos before, but just for posterity (and kudos to Maxtoch ), here’s another one:

It will be interesting to see if the LEP technology gets enough support to develop, and eventually trickle down to a more affordable price point.

I wonder how small these can be made?

As small as a regular LED flashlight.

The Xsword is now available on the Aliexpress site………….
