Next Step Up from my XinTDThrower??

[Nalajr]

Hey all,

I am not someone that has a drawer full of lights. I just have 4 of my night stand and I have given away 5 or 6 to family.

The last nice light I got was an XinTD that a few members here recommended when I asked about a thrower. It is a nice light and there’s NOTHING in my yard or the neighbors yard that can hide from me now.

I am curious as to what would be a step UP from this one. I also don’t know the technical ins and outs of these lights, I’m not a modder. I don’t take them apart, I just put the batteries in them and go. SO….I am not very knowledgeable about the projects that you all talk about.

This one I asked for a nice THROWER and this is what was told to me to get. I’m very happy with it. Now I am thinking I might want to pick up something that has a bit more throw to it for those times I am walking around hunting feral hogs and it starts getting dark.
I like using the 18650 cells and don’t mind using them in new lights if I have to. I also don’t mind if the light takes more than 1 cell. The only limit I would put on this step up light would be that it come in at less than $75, preferably a lot less. I like these budget lights a LOT.

So, what lights would you say would be a good choice for what I described? Do you have any that you think would be an awesome choice for a BIG BROTHER to the XinTD I have now?

Lets hear it.

Thanks for your time.

If you don’t mind modding, then there are loads of options. However if you want off the shelf, then one of these is very good.

The M3XS-UT Dazed1 suggested would blow your mind. That is the wow-thrower you are looking for.

M3XS-UT Has twice the throw of barracuda

[dazed1]

Not twice, ~ 40% but still alot, and also….its much less bulkier.

“The only limit I would put on this step up light would be that it come in at less than $75, preferably a lot less. I like these budget lights a LOT.”

OP

Twice the throw, twice the price.

Read what the OP has and what he wants to step up to and you’ll see that that $75 Barracuda is probably a better value for him than the Olights that many seem to be suggesting here.

My buddy has DD XM-L2 TK61vn v4 and that things throws a laser beam, close to, if not a mile, but it’s a $300 light, so I didn’t recommend it.

You said “big brother” so how about the Courui? Its good out of the box and is really easy to make even better!
Edit: its only about $30

No where near twice the price, infact almost the same price at some places if you look!

I don’t know where you’re getting a legit and non-grey market Javelot for close to $75.00, because I’d just checked BangGood, Battery Junction, GoingGear, GearBest, Andrew&Amanda, HKEquipment and a few smaller places and with rare exception (A&A, ‘make offer’) it’s $149.99 via legit Olight dealers.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I wouldn’t want that light, just that the OP wanted to keep it below $75 and the Barracuda is right there and a renowned thrower for its class, although I guess it’s perhaps a bit dated—hence the blowout sales on Illumination.com?

Anyhow, I guess it’s time to move on?
