The D80 isn’t intended as a thrower. See discussion comments #338 to #340: GB BLF LuckySun D80-SE Need long tubes? -3/3/16
If you’re looking for a budget thrower in this price range, I’d suggest this one (I recommend the de-domed option if you’re specifically looking for a thrower): http://www.mtnelectronics.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=80&product_id=427
Note: While the tight hotspot throws well, it is annoyingly distracting for looking at anything close. So, the de-domed C8 works best for targets 50 feet away and greater. If you’re going to be using it to light up anything nearer, but still want a “throwy” flashlight, then I’d recommend ordering the regular C8.
And, of course, if you can afford it, there’s always the group buy that SawMaster mentioned, above. :evil:
