Untill a week ago I was a normal person that was just owning 1 nice flashlight (Sofirn SP36 BLF 5000K) as I think is normal…why a normal person should need more than 1 flashlight?!
Then I started looking for an affordable flashlight with laser pointer and UV to use at work…and I found the Wurkkos HD01 Pro but…I ended receiving this parcel today… 
The crazy thing is that I already started thinking that I’m missing a proper thrower…
I need to understand why flashlights are so addictive…
Do not, I repeat DO NOT visit https://convoylight.com/
I was about to recommend Convoy for a thrower. 
Seriously, though, I prefer somewhat throwy lights and I usually get Convoy lights for that purpose.
I love Convoy because there are so many different emitters and tints to choose from. 
On my defense I have to say that there is s rationale behind every choice:
HD01 Pro: I need it as EDC at work to have laser pointer and UV
TS22: I left my beloved SP36 in Italy and I wanted to have a flashlight here in the UK to keep it around alwasy on hand or in the backpack.
TS10 V2: it was on sale and everybody is saying good thing about that…so…why not?!
TS10 SG: The TS22 is actually a flooder…what if I will need a bit more throw/hot spot? This is so small and tiny that I will not notice the extra weight on the backpack…for 10 quid let’s get it.
HD10: I realised that I don’t have a battery charger to charge the 14500 of the TS10 and I also don’t have an angled headlamp in 4000K…this little thing will solve both problems for other 10 quid.
WK03: Having reached a certain amount on the order I was entitled to get a free 18650 but again, I have no flashlight with this cell and no battery charger and the WK03 was the cheapest option with a built-in charger for 9 quid. I will probably give it as a gift to my dad or my brother.
I am a newbie…I had a look at the Convoy website, but if you don’t already know what you need, for me it’s impossible to navigate through it.
There are no descriptions or indication, just tech details, that I really appreciate as an engineer, but become quite useless if you don’t know the difference between a SST40 and a 519A…for me are just numbers and letters with no meaning…at least for now…
Pretty much every emitter offered by Convoy is already tested on BLF by user koef3, a quick Google search and reading the tests would tell you what to expect in terms of output/throw/color, etc.
Your strategy is quite intelligent. If you cant decide between several lights, buy all of them. This way you know for sure you did not buy the wrong one.
Welcome to the Club!
I too had no idea what these maniacs on BLF were speaking of back in the day (2012) but after reading and more importantly seeing some beam shots or white wall shots it became apparent that Cold White emitters are best served for long range and the Rosy/Warm tints are really nice for looking at foliage/food or even a spider bite on skin.
The difference in detail is shocking sometimes.
Paging @sbslider
He has some great photos and graphs of emitters and would be a great reference.
Anyway, enjoy the Show and stay a spell.
As a budget option, this Astrolux is a very tight beam thrower and well cheap. Beam is too tight for most of my uses, but it’s fun.
Just for your info, as you’re obviously hooked. SST40 is a very throwy emitter. The Nichia 519B is well liked here because it has high colour rendition (CRI). It gives truer colours, isn’t throwy.
The Nichia 519A is an excellent high CRI (=colour rendering accuracy, i.e. how true-to-life the colours are, with 100 being perfect) led, that is on the floodier side and widely regarded as one of the best in its class.
The Luminus SST40 is essentially outdated and has mostly been replaced by the SFT40, a flat (domeless), high-intensity led with average CRI (about 70), which makes it best suited for throwers.
Other high-intensity leds include: CSLNM1.TG, SFT-25R, SFT-42R, SFT-70 and SBT-90.
With their intensity in descending and their brightness in ascending order.
That actually looks nice than the advertisement.
Welcome to the crazy flashlight club Def_84!!!
Looks like you got some good stuff in the parcel. 
My recommendation for a thrower is a Convoy C8 with a CREE XHP70.3 HI LED. Mine has the 5700K R9050 version which has good CRI and nice tint (not green). It has a lot of throw and some spill to make it a very versatile flashlight.
Previously my C8 had a CREE XP-L HI LED which was great for throw, but I rarely used it since the beam was so narrow.
I recommend Convoy M21A SFT40 for very usable thrower. It has good balanced beam with excellent throw and solid amount of side light, so it is good for everyday using.
With diffuser it works like lantern or very floody flashlight.
21700 battery give it good power reserve, 30-40% better than same characteristic 18650 flashlight like Convoy C8.
Sofirn SR12 with SFT25 led has solid throw in compact pocket format with 6 power modes but it has side power switch which sometimes isn’t easy to find fast in dark.
Ah.. @Def_84 glad that you got slipped into this rabbit hole.. 
Welcome.. 
Throwers?
Compact throwers: GTmicro, CatMini.
Normal throwers: C8 variants like the OG P30 (NOT the “pro”, “plus”, etc. so-called “improved” versions), C8T, C8A, GTmini, also the IF22A, T6, HS-802.
I was on the road for a few days. I think you meant to say paging @jon_slider , he defitely has lots of photos and graphs of emitters!
