Just add a copper MCPCB and good driver. Already has a large reflector, stainless bezel, side switch with tail switch, very compact body. Shadow TC350 body and tailcap on a TC500 head, fits perfectly.
Great idea. Open the ring-pull, drink the orange, throw the can. Then grab the flashlight and search in the dark for the can before you are prosecuted for littering. :bigsmile:
“Grandma! What huge pockets you have!”
“All the better to carry my flashlight, Dear!” J)
Needs a pocket clip!
Totally in for a GB if we can get a deep carry pocket clip.
Im’ in for one…. LOL
needs to set the standard for a 400+ Kcd btw!
Always wanted a pocket thrower but there are simply too many "BLF version" lights lately. Unless it is as interesting as X6-SE, then it is worth the effort for GB.
Oh yes! I love Shadow flaslights, and with the big reflector and single 18650 it is the right set-up IMO. Just the side-switch I do not care much for, but there's enough people who do appreciate it, and it gives plenty UI options. :-)
^ what’s the lumen and candela output of something like that… what diam is the reflector on this TC500 head?
The reflector seems to be roughly ~55mm diameter, the lumens would be whatever led+driver you put into it (on a XP-L Hi it could be 1100lm if you drive it well), the throw on this XP-L Hi could be up to 170kcd, on a XP-G2 well over 200 kcd (correct me if I'm wrong please)
Oooh I LIKE!
I will prolly buy a few of the price is right
Maybe with 26650?
I don’t like those thin bat-tubes, especially when the light has a big head.
I raised the idea in the Blf A6 thread a while ago also to plant the seed for the next design
The D80 BLF group buy is kind of a pocket thrower already. This is nice, but not quite so pocket-friendly
I think it would look much better with the larger diameter of a 26650 battery tube.
Or it could come with 2 tubes, one for 18650 and one for 26650…………
This has to stop……….5 differnt tints, 12 UI’s, 9 different colored lights, belt clip, pocket clip, money clip, eco-frendily ………….
I’ve been pushing for an 18650 HD2010 for a while now, maybe even an 14500 HD2010. Oh well… Maybe Old-Lumens will do a run while he’s practicing…
For the record, a de-domed XP-G2 in an EE X6 does 103Kcd when pushed hard.
Does this count? I don’t have a HD2010 to compare. I don’t like the tailcap threads and would prefer square cut. A bigger pill for 20mm MCPCB. They are a manufacturer and should be able to make the changes we require. If they don’t want to do what we require, we’ll just go to a manufacturer who will. COUGH Manker COUGH.

I would like a pocket thrower, but only if it does 250+kcd (I already own a Olight MX3S-UT Javelot).
I would love a BLF high performance pocket thrower. Despite what they way, size does matter. I know a thrower is not really that pocket friendly, but a single cell, reasonable size light is something I would jump into another group buy for. I like Dale’s idea of a 18650 HD 2010, driven hard, maybe even with an aspheric lens, if that would help the throw. I just don’t know if anyone wants to get another project like this going right now. As we can tell from the A6 group buy, these things take a lot of time and effort on the part of those organizing them.
