The THROWER Thread

Jeansy why listing the "fandyfire" version of the HD2010 only?

You can have it in many ****fire versions, Ultrafire, Trustfire, Tangsfire, name it!

The Ultrafire one I got from Tmart has an excellent price too 33,52USD, black or grey same price:

Don’t forget you can get 8% off that price with coupon code: TMPRICE (if you haven’t already used it on something else - it’s single use per customer only)

I will list the cheapest version suggested mate unless they have driver issues etc. Thanks for the link, i will edit the table :slight_smile:

EDIT: OK with the suggestions we now have the STL-V2 and HD2010 in the same price bracket. What do you guys think, should i add an alternative for each price range or will that make it too comlicated/busy? Also im not sure i like just having a aspheric taking a bracket, although this thread is simply about throw…… What do you guys think?

To my knowledge, at the moment all reviewed HD2010 have the same East092 driver, thus same performance

I’m pretty sure lux readings of the HD2010 are closer to 48k while the STL-V2 is around 52k cd.

Do you think i should swap it out with this so we can add a second, alternative, reflector vs aspheric or disputed lights?

Edit: Deleted and replaced first chart

OK mate, i will edit, i was trying to round them to the nearest 5 lux due to variances, but with these so close your right, i might have to put those figures to show the difference.

I think just put aspheric in brackets, eg.

  • 7G5V2 55k lux etc…
  • TN31 110k lux etc…
  • Dereelight nightmaster (aspheric) 115k lux etc…
  • 7G5V2 w/ collimator head (aspheric) 115k lux etc…

This is confusing...

I looked at some of the ****fire HD2010 flashlights from DX and Tmart. Some have one emitter, and some have three emitters. Should both variants make the list?

I saw the triple emitter one too. But I’m pretty sure the triple emitter isn’t made to be a thrower.

As Slewflash, i think the triple will not be competative in Lux measurements although obviously any multi-emitter lights will be added if they are the best in the price range although with the TK70 out due to the TN31 i cant see any making the grade.

I think there should be a separate table for multi-emmiters .

Maybe a simple lumens table set out the same?

we should have more of these charts. saves a lot of time
tks

But lights like the TK70 and Xtar S1 are big throwers and certainly deserve mention. I wouldn’t put a Skyray King on here though.

Sorry for asking maybe already answered on a different thread. Is the Jacob A60 ever compared to this one?

Actually, the Fandyfire and the Ultrafire HD2010s may have different drivers, so there’s at least 2 variations: Review: UltraFire HD2010

East-092 on JohnnyMac’s Ultrafire
and East-092B on Night Breaker’s FandyFire

TY Jeansy, great idea!

Silverfish, I believe the main objections to the “recoil” concept are difficulty of heat dispersal and the emitter support arm and emitter being in the way of the beam. I have one recoil, a Pelican 2010, that produces a small hotspot and virtually no spill, from a comparatively weak emitter, but i think the heat problem may negate the use of the better emitters.

I’m waiting for a xml recoil….

shiningbeam romisen tc-601 ii is very good throw for less than $30.
