I spend a lot of time on boats. I need a small light with multiple modes and a beam that can reach FAR to light up buoys, reflectors, fenders etc.
I understand that the larger the head, the longer the reach, but was hoping for an easily manipulated hand held light (nothing too bulky). There is no budget at all. I want the brightest and the best. Mahalo for your time
Hey, welcome to BLF! 
If you’re looking for a thrower in a small package, check out the Jacob A60. It’s regarded as a very good performer with a tight hotspot.

If you want something stronger, you’re looking into bigger lights, such as the TN31/32 or the Deft-X.
