I’ve never had an issue with floody beam alignment at closer ranges but it seems that with this tight beamed light, an adjustable mount might be needed for long range alignment. Just curious what mounts the down under shooters are using.
There are many mounting options that work - on scope or rifle.
This is what I use - a small picatinny rail mounted on scope, and a very tall ring on torch. Quick and easy detach:
These examples are from a NZ site but there are heaps (and cheaper) on aliexpress.
Set torch head back from front scope bell. Beam may reflect off a shiny silencer/suppressor and you may need to wrap it in non-reflective camo or other tape. No alignment issues with beam for us.
When I have the final details there will be a list started for those who want in. We will need a minimum of 50 pieces spoken for before we can get the GB price ( which is part of what I am waiting on) If we keep the GB going until it reaches whatever the next minimum number is ( 75 , 100 pieces , or whatever the number may be) then the price will be reduced at that point again from whatever the original GB price is set at. Once all that happens then a code or Group PM with details , will be sent to the ones on the GB list and the information that is needed and/or order details to get everything finalized and your light on the way.
EDIT: Depending on the shipping method (s) that are made available it will vary by country and by the shipping method as for the amount of time it will take. The M24 GB took from around 12 days up to 6 weeks depending again on country and I think they only had standard shipping available if I remember correctly for that one.
Ok, thanks. Question: I reckon about how many lumens this’ll throw on an object say at
500 yards…100? (guessing)
No idea how many lumens, but at 500 yards whatever you shining on is lit up plenty good
Lumens isn’t what you need to look at, lux is what it takes to see an object. The formula to find lux at a given distance is lux=candela/(distance^2). The distance is measured in meters. In this case at 500m (546 yards) the lux=365,000/(500^2) which comes out to 1.46 lux. That’s enough to see something larger like a tree or building but not fine details.
At 655 yards (600 meters roughly) here is an ATV , quad, 4 wheeler whatever you may call it , with a tan sheet thrown over it on a slightly misty night. In good clear conditions you get even better throw from the 2X.
The target is the light colored spot just to the right edge of the road at the far end of where beam is hitting , as it starts downhill just behind that.

I just got the OK to get the GB started. We will need 50 pieces to get the initial price of $88.50 and if we get to 80 pieces the price drops to $83.50. This includes FREE standard shipping , a nylon carry bag , extra switch , O-rings and rubber switch boot. Also if you wish to purchase a holster they will be marked down to $2.00 and the remote pressure switch marked down to $5.00 with the purchase of one of these lights (limit of 3 each of either for each light purchased) If the pressure switch is purchased you will need to be sure to get the one marked for the NEW 2X as they are marked accordingly on Aliexpress site. Maxtoch can also include 2 of the 3400 mAh cells (Panasonic protected button tops with Maxtoch wrapper) for $15.90 a pair if you need those but they must be shipped inside the light because of the new airfreight laws so a limit of 2 per light.
I have already asked about a free holster and lower price and probably anything else that could be included and what is listed is about as good as it gets for now. The cost of this light to produce is not quiet as cheap as Maxtoch would have hoped for I am sure, but even at the price we are getting I think it is still a bargain compared to anything even remotely close to it out there. Just getting U4 1A emitters over there took almost an act of foreign trades agreement and ended up costing much more than expected.
We will be able to purchase through Aliexpress site , or IF you will only use Paypal , we can go that route through Maxtoch directly, although I think the Aliexpress purchase will be easier in the end for everyone.
If you want in please let me know by posting in the thread and specify if you will use Paypal only or if you will use Aliexpress site.
If you have a Paypal credit card , it CAN be used through Aliexpress as any other credit card also.
EDIT: If you have never used Aliexpress I think there are enough people on the forum to verify that they are a reputable dealer/site to ease your mind. I have used them a number of times and never had a problem so far.
Sounds like a great deal. Can’t commit just yet but I’m going to try to.
Tac Gunner, this is one of few lights out there that makes a column of light. I don’t see an apex like other lights, I don’t see the beam flare out after the crossover, like other lights. I see a tube of light, quite like a fat laser. It’s really amazing, as the Special Forces Army guys I showed it to recently saw, with much exclamation and awe stricken cursing.
Thanks everyone. MAXTOCH can’t improve products without your suggestion. Always here to listen to your advice gladly.
You do a great job listening to the customers Amanda and you are greatly appreciated also.
And the example of that tube of light (and my favorite 2 shots of all the beamshots I have done with the 2X)
Robo,
