My ST90 SAR90 does pretty good …….
I’m sure it’ll hit 800 yards and more and return good amounts of light (the SR95 UT has similar/slightly higher lux numbers), I’m just not sure how much light he’ll need to easily identify animals at that distance. It won’t hurt for skytop to try it 
Well, it might hurt his wallet a bit.
And don’t forget a good pair of 10x20 binoculars, or a 30x sight… 
i think what you need is the Varapower Turbo Ver.2.0

its a very sought after light and pretty rare because the maker is just so busy that whenever he makes them, it gets sold out within days. and now theres a wait.
theres alot of comparison shots on cpf and fln against all the highpowered lights.
its kinda puts the sr90 and the tk70 to shame.
its puts out like 200,000 lux.
i own one and it is truly a beast. you can use either 3 d cells or 4 c cells for turbo mode.
it uses an sst-90.
if i knew how to post pictures on here, i would have posted pictures on this beast already.
My buddy got a pair of Orbtronics when I helped him order his first 18650 torch. I’m down to get a couple after your comments. Thanks again.
Oh… and I was going to say… if someone ends up with a light that reaches 800 yards, that’s farther than we can see detail with the naked eye anyway. Gotta have some pretty good magnification see that far even in daylight.
Glad I could help……
I’m not marketing for anyone, I just post facts that I have seen and tested myself……
Selfbuilt just tested the production version of the Niwalker NWK750, which is pretty robust, according to the torture tests by run4jc. Nice thing is that it performs well on both one and two 18650 cells, and is seemingly a great thrower.
That Niwalker NWK750 you refer to only puts out ~ 39,5 kCd so that is Trustfire X9 territory.
That's 397 meters of ANSI throw.
The Jacob A60 puts out 55 kCd in stock form and I suspect it will go to 65 kCd if modded with different driver.
In stock form thats 470 meters of ANSI throw.
The XR-E is the throwiest of the Cree led offerings.
My first ST-90 Beamshot...... :) !

To the Moon!
You say this now, but, magnetic ring control is awesome. You can select your output without even turning the light on, touch selection is so inferior to magnetic ring control it’s silly.
Thrunite makes a great product at a great price, the materials are awesome and did anyone mention 100k + lux from an XML?
200 bucks may not fall into most peoples idea of “budget” but compared to an olight SR series (which is about the only real competition for this thing) 200 bucks doesn’t look so bad anymore.
You may soon, and at a lower price than that. Dropping hints around BLF sure has gotten entertaining
What’s the draw going to be?
It’s a thrower, you are only going to get more throw with an XML with a bigger dish strapped to the front and we already have
HD 2010 > med/long range with single 26650 (small pocketable and generally a great buy)
Crelant 7g9 > run at the TN 31, smallish, kindof bleh IMO (a little more lux, not enough to really roll with the 31 in virtually the same size)
TN 31 > awesome materials, magnetic control ring great throw (fit and finish are as good or better than SF, output backs it up)
Seem to have the stubby thrower pretty much covered, I still say I’d like a Thrunite quality level HD 2010 though.
Update on long throw lights:
Ordered Wayne’s ST-90. Eagerly awaiting delivery.
Have a new Sky Ray STL V2. Somewhat inexpensive and has a wicked extra deep, smooth reflector. Exceeds the throw of my SR51 due to its pencil narrow beam.
If you think the stl v2 has a pencil thin beam check out a small aspheric or jacob a60. Most xmls have a lot of spill and arent really known to have pencil beams. Heard a lot of good things about waynes st90 though.
My 7g5v2 reflector is deeper than my stl v2, and has a slightly smaller/more concentrated hotspot. Im not sure about lumen output though.
I have the STL-V2 and have seen many beamshots and this light is no pencil beam thrower……
Let me know your thought and opinion when you receive your ST-90…
My FandyFire STL-V6 won’t out throw my SR51.
My SkyRay STL-V6 does out throw my SR51!
Ok, if you are after a light with the most throw and don’t mind a pencil thin beam and coloured output, try these.
This single mode 638nm is so crazy tight that it throws the same distance and equal the greenie below. I was taken by surprised at first.
These 2 would out throw any of those 500mW 532nm (stock with no helping optics), 3W 445nm etc.
Just for fun….since they are not that expensive anyway. (but do be careful, read up on the safety aspect on laserpointerforums and there is a whole forum on the safety aspect, and responsible safe use only as these are not toys as they hang ard in the same league with the best short arcs in the hobby arena)
PS. The above greenie can easily be repaired if you happen to drop it and knock the pill containing the KTP crystal. I used the silicone thermal glue that i purchased on DX for 2 bucks. Just put it on, realign properly (roll the light around…you’ll get it). You could repair the thing if it comes with a crooked beam…heh. 5 mins job.
