Got My ThruNite Catapult V3 XM-L2 Saturday In The Mail

Let me first just say what needs to be said. Dale is just awesome to deal with. This guy tells it like it is. And he does what he says. I am truly glad that this forum has guys like him. I thank you Dale. It’s just as described. Oh and I forgot to put the lanyard in the picture, but I never use it anyway. I used a different pixel setting on my camera. So I hope these are’nt too big.



I just got done playing with the light. I’ll take some beamshots later. But I love the Catapult V3 lights.

Here’s a few beamshots on man 1.2 sec shutter f/4 ISO 400.

110Yds

220Yds to trees behind last electric pole

445yds to white barn

I added that 110yd shot to the list of my XM-L thrower thread that’s a sticky here. I have had a lot of folks tell me that thread has really helped them on what XM-L throwers to buy.

I am very fond of the Catapult. I was one click away from buying it a while ago but Crelant 7G5 v1 had just came out - much cheaper - and got some really good reviews, so I got that instead. I am very happy with it but, still, sometimes I think I should also get a Catapult.

Enjoy your new light ILF!

Great pics!!

I had fun playing with this baby last nite. The beam is aweseome. A little bigger hopsot than on the old XM-L one I have. But this one definately is brighter and will throw better. I’m gonna guess around 70,000 to 75,000lux or so.

They did a awesome job on the machine work on it as well. Hope you have lots of fun with it! :slight_smile:

Great light and beamshots Brad. That light has some of the best looks around, with the knurling like that.

Awesome pics. Light looks great!!

Thanks guys.

I would have to put this light probably in my top 5 I have. No it won’t out throw a K40 or TN31, but for cool looking I love the Catapult V3’s. I guess it’s the cross groove cutouts and the extra cool looking head. It has the thickest tube of any flashlight I know.
