Medium sized throwers

[Essexman]

How did I miss this thread? Thanks for writing this, excellent information which will lead to me spending more money!

I Added X1S now. I failed to find throw numbers of a stock one though and the manufacturer-reported ones are quite low.

[Agro]

I changed the semantics of the price field. Now it’s the lowest I’ve seen reported.
It’s hard to fill well because many price reports don’t indicate whether shipping was included, but easier because I can include not-so-great deals.
And so I did now; I filled most prices with the lowest I see now.
I’m not very happy with the current state as some lights list superb deals why others are just straight a list price, but I hope this will improve over time.
I welcome help with this column….

I have some sustainability worries. Work on it is takes major effort, I may not be able to continue doing it forever. I believe that making it editable to wider public could be beneficial, but at the same I’m not sure what would be a good way to do this or if there are really any people interested in editing it. Comments?

Take a wikipedia approach? Ie, let others edit it, but be able to revert back in case someone screws it up (or intentionally sabotages it).

Because of the limitation of this blog, I believe all updates to this table may have to be done manually by the OP. Wikipedia happens to use server-side scripting with a database back-end to make its the content editable to the user.

BTW, I really appreciate the work that went behind gathering and tabulating this data. May I ask how the flashlight intensities were measured?

[Agro]

I just gathered what I found around. Each measured intensity is a clickable link to the source. Just go there and see if the method is specified.

Awesome list, thank you! Looks like you need to add the Astrolux FT03 to the list now.

[Agro]

Thank you sb. I added it now.

[raccoon]

The Astrolux FT03 takes a 26650.

[Agro]

Fixed, thanks raccoon

Cata V6 great mid sized thrower.

[mattadores]

Thanks for the great list!!

Any chance you can add a branch to also include multiple battery set-ups with a head diameter less than 75mm? The amount with a head larger than that will be very small

I wanted to include some valuable competitors:
Haikelite SC04 5000lm 600m throw 75mm head 1x26650

[Agro]

Sorry, I’m just personally not very interested in such lights.

New Convoy L6 with Lexel’s TA driver ?

Its only 5000lms on 2 X 26650's or you could use 2 X 26350's but alot less runtime.

Is that a comment to me or to mattadores? I think mattadores but if it’s actually to me:
A part of my definition for a medium sized thrower is “single cell”.
AFAIK L6 needs 2. Am I missing something?

[Yokiamy]

Sorry, to mattadores, i was still thinking about his thread over here

What's the best Medium sized Throw/Flood combo?

In an effort to actually use my flashlight collection more. I’ve begun night hiking through a national part located within our city limits. I’ve immediately realized how amazing my throw flashlights are in this situation but also desperately want a floodier beam or significantly wider hotspot. Here’s the criteria: -maximum head diameter of 100mm (even that’s pushing it) -ideally (not limited to) throw distance of 1000m -ideally (not limited to) lumen output of 5000lm (hot rod turbo only is …

No worries. lol I can imagine the time and effort involved in maintaining such a list warrants a lot of interest on your part to justify the work!

I think the SC04 even though I was wrong on the output which is only 2500 lumens on a single 26650 does belong on your list though?

lol should’ve realized… or maybe when it’s an optional 2x cell light the mfg shouldn’t state the output as doubled when it’s not… silly Haikelite

amutorch TC500 not exact specification

64x142 mm, 223g

[Jaketheone4646]

Would the convoy L21 and M21 fit in this category of throwers.
I have a astrolux C8 XPL HI CW 1300 lumens as my only thrower and really like it but was looking for something with even more throw.
