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
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?
Sorry, to mattadores, i was still thinking about his thread over here
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
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.
Yes, at least the L21A does, since its size it almost identical to the FT03, but with a smaller head.
Here is a side by side comparison both at max and distance to trees is 200m
Left FT03 right L21a
Nice both look great, I’m leaning towards the L21 because I prefer the 21700 tube, but my astrolux c8 threads are so sweet compared to my convoy lights it makes me wonder if I should get the astrolux anyway. My convoys are the cheaper ones, the s2+ and the s3.
When comparing a convoy c8 and astrolux c8 how do the threads compare?? My astrolux c8 has the smoothest threads of any light I’ve had. It’s the only c8 I’ve had though so maybe the convoy c8 threads are the same.
I am not familiar with the astrolux C8, but i prefer the rectangular shaped convoy threads, which are way more durable compared to the cheaper and thinner FT03 threads
You will not see much of a difference between your astrolux c8 vs the m21a.
The l21a is a much better choice. If you want a side switch, the ft03.
So the L21 it is so far, is there any other 21700 thrower out there?? Looking for a thrower that will give me noticeably more than my astrolux c8 which I love by the way.
The L21A comes with XHP35 also since last week, and might throw even better.
My FT03 fits an 21700 as well, but it’s a tight fit
Thanks for mentioning these lights. 
Looks like L21A is missing, I will add it soon.
As far as I can tell, M21A is just a C8 with 21700 tube, right? If that’s the case, it’s too small for inclusion.
VestureOfBlood posted an amazing video in this thread about the the Acebeam W30.
Possible downside: little or no spill makes this a special purpose tool. One poster suggested that it may be ideal for certain boating and marine applications, such as spotting marker buoys at distance without generating huge reflections off the surface of the water.
I still don’t really know what to do about LEP throwers.
Some seem to clearly fit this thread but at the same time they are so different from LED ones that I feel they deserve a thread of their own….
Yes, same head and reflector.
You could always include LEP lights in this thread but place them in their own chart below the main one.
