Budget thrower, size not an issue. Recommend me

The Convoy c8+ with a white flat at 4.5amps is a great cheap small thrower and good runtime with a Samsung 30q

Lightbringer · 2019-10-26T22:36:41.000Z

Okay, a P30 might not be had for unner 50bux, but a GTmini probably could.

The C8T is also a nice thrower (C8A for more lemons, but not as throwy).

Emisar D1S with a White Flat

spudley112 · 2019-10-27T01:59:30.000Z

I am in the market for a mid range thrower as well. This has given me a few to strongly consider. Thanks!

Astrolux FT03 is sst40 version is the best way to go here. It will have the best throw by dollar ratio. Although you can use an 18650 tube to make it compatible, I would reccomend spending a few bucks and upgrading to the 26650 to maximize performance. Excellent light, you can’t go wrong. And usb-c rechargeable.

Wait a few weeks for the Emisar D1Sv2. Sounds like it will out-throw most, if not all, in the size and price range.

Convoy L2 with White Flat

Wow a lot to thinking about and look into. I have some research to do now. Other than the Convoy C8, I’ve never heard of any others recommended. Been out of the loop recently with life stuff and been mostly shopping at local stores and not online.

D1sv2 with osram is supposed to throw 1.5km but with an xhp35 hi-cri it might make varmits stand out background colorwise.

The brand new Speras T1. I just ordered one few days ago. Seems like a killer deal for the performance. In fact, I dont know of another light that can throw this far in this price range and size. Martin has a steep discount code for this one.

Otherwise wait for the Noctigon K1 that everyone is waiting for. It will have less lumens than the Speras but throws farther and it has the renowned Emisar brand quality.

Still sticking with the Nitecore P30, BLF GTmini, and Sofirn C8T. Best single-18650 mini-throwers out there.

If you are willing to carry a slightly larger light, i’d recommend the L21A with Osram CSLNM.TG.
I measured 550 kCd :sunglasses:

FT03 isnt all that… i Just bought one after reading so many positive posts on it and i am pretty disappointed, every thrower I own beats it

Anything with a white flat & decent driver , Jax Z1 , Convoy L2 L21A , Even a C8+ but run time & heat is an issue on the c8’s

My recommendation would be an L2 or Jaxman Z1 because you can run 2 26650 5ah cells with a good buck driver and the heats is not an issue

My FT03 is a beast. It doesn’t break any tecords but for the price it’s a must. It beats my Lumintop ODL20C all day long for less than half the price. What kind of battery do you have in it?

The_Fat_Controller · 2019-11-03T23:34:21.000Z

The ft03 is a fantastic torch for the money and anyone can buy it without any modding

The ft03 makes about 230Kcd White flat rigs are hitting near 500Kcd…

I think if you ask for the best off the shelf thrower for 30 bucks the FT03 is always going to be suggested , But the second convoy start offering an L21a with a white flat & 5a driver its all over honestly i am surprised they don’t already.

I think the reason is people tend to look at lumens and when you quote less than 1000 lumens these days people think its going to be mediocre

Pretty sure the Astrolux c8 outthrows the sofirn c8t.

May very well. Ain’t got any to compare…

I couldn’t agree with you more !

I really love my L21A with proper focused white flat and 14x 7135 driver, it’s a beast!
doing over 550 kCd on a 40T, with just around 900~950 Lm

It lights a complete living room on the house at the end of my street around 150m away

Total fun
