I guarantee that no one can throw those flashlight 500 meters…… …………
M……is it possible to make that list into an Excel sheet or even better, a online link that can sorted?
Just asking and still really appreciate the work you put in. Me’s gonna buy dem thrower……after I exhausted my “perfect cheap floody” unicorn quest.

I’m pretty sure Spartans mail order bride Olga the shot putter set the world record at 742m for a 3-lb flashlight. lol so it can be done!
I certainly do. I didn’t go through all this work so that it would crash on me. Do you know of a secure way to share docs other than google docs? otherwise just PM me your email and I’ll send it to you.

I’m still trying to break her out of her favorite sport….man crushing….
There is/was a guy who did a online search through his database for batteries. Really helpful considering how many different types off li-ion there are. I also remember someone who did a huge database on flashlights. Perhaps he/they know how.
I did a casual look under….Link Database to Web Page…which appears that one has to create a web page to do this. I wish I could help, but it’s way over my head.
Regardless, I and we still appreciate the work.
That would be me
Here are the lights in my database with more than 500 meters throw. But I also don’t have many of the smaller chinese brands that are doing impressive work.

YES….that’s the one.
Kudos to you, mattadores and everyone else for doing such a great, selfless job for the community .
The Emisar D1S belongs on this list. 124Kcd/703m according to ToyKeeper’s review

Per NITECORE NEW P30 1000 Lumen Long Throw Hunting Flashlight
Was wondering why I only had 1 light on the list, the MT09R-50.
No C8s on the list? C8A, C8T?

Will add the P30, not sure how I missed it.
What’s the C8A or T?
I can only find C8, C8+ which only have like 150m throw.
You did NOT specify stock and/or modded.
TN42
STOCK=XHP35 HI 2000L/700Kcd/1673m ~ $200
Modded[TN42vn 90]= CFT-90-5000L/1.1Mcd/2097m- $600
BlueSwordM:
Modded doesn’t count.
Maybe to you and this list it doesn’t!! Lol!
Stock do not count to me!! Now that Manufactured lights are more like modded lights, the FT03 will be my FIRST STOCK light allowed on the trail!
EDIT: The TN42 stock still beats many on that list. It would be #8 on the list.

What about the Thrunite TN-42 ???
Sofirn versions. The C8A has more lemons, the C8T is throwier.
Just goggled around quickly, didn’t find anything offhand.
I already mentioned it in Post #12 !!
The most common factory C8 around here is probably the Convoy C8 or C8+ with XP-L HI. These have around 500m FL1 throw.

Sorry,I didn’t mean to steal your thunder.
Good thing you clarified that, they might have put it on the list twice
I think there is wrong with blf gt, the BLF GT is 2500 lumen and throw further than 2000m,
