Cheap recoil thrower cheap ($7.95) via slow blimp from China

I remember there was indeed a two-led version once, or maybe there was just talk about it perhaps.

You remember correctly. There was recoil thrower years ago that did have 2 LEDs on it, one facing backwards and one forwards.

I forget the model number though. Might have been an Ultrafire.

You should compare it side-by-side with an aspheric light with a lens the same diameter as the reflector using same emitter and driver and see which is brighter!

It would be nice if someday, someone made a modernized better quality recoil thrower. I think the key would be to make the LED arm out of solid copper for much better heat transfer.

It would also be nice if it were made with 2 leds on the arm. A high-intensity one facing backwards for throw and a floody one facing fowards for close-range use as a mule.

UF-009 had that configuration…

BTW, I see that the one I found previously is still available and for much less.
djozz, did how was your modding attempt?

[djozz]

Never did the mod, but it is still on my list. Thanks for reminding, the White Flat is the current most sensible led for this one

I did the mod: Re-visiting the Q5 recoil thrower: mod with a a White Flat
