If you like the size of the C8s, definitely look at the KD Litker C8.2 with a XHP35 emitter. It will smoke the Convoy in output:(Kaidomain.com ).
In a bigger form you’ll get the extra throw you’re looking for. The following lights around or well above 100,000 CD:
Klarus G35, Emissar D1S, Thrunite Catapult V6 and the Lumintop ODf20C.
Even larger, the Aasrolux MF02 is VERY good at throwing.
I am STILL waiting for the two Astrolux MF02s I ordered to ship so no word on those yet but in testing they look very impressive.
I can’t find the thread now but there was some testing of the XHP35 KDLITKER models and they were severely under-performing vs the listed output numbers.

Testing by Maukka so as trustworthy as it gets.
You’d be much better off with a FET driven XP-L HI C8 vs the C8.2 if max throw is the objective.
