Try this Ultrafire branded C8 XP-G R5 instead of the Palight.
Check out Night Breaker's thread with beamshots - esp. the FandyFire HD2010 which is XM-L and appears to have a tighter beam and more throw (not C8 style though). I don't own this light, but it's on my wishlist. Runs a 26650 or an 18650 with included adaptor. Sold at DX - little pricey at $35.60 but seems like an awesome light!
