nice thrower beamshot! any photos of the light and the specs?
Wow nice thrower Gaston and great beam shot too. What light is that?
DBSAR I remember that sale and wanted one then but never saw one. Then I bid on a lot of them on e-bay from a clearance place, 5 pieces but it went over $100 and that was way more than I wanted to pay.
I still check the clearance section of all Home Depots in my area when i go to them, as sometimes these discontinued lights can still show up randomly found by store employees. i have seen otehr Defiant lights appear that way long after they been sold out. if i see any DST’s i will grab them even if they are 20 bucks a piece now.
Anyone have a picture of the DST? I have one of the larger Defiants 3C, but I use it mostly to prop open my window in the summer. I know there were several models out, when I purchased mine- and I don’t think I have the true Super Thrower.
Courui D01 with 86mm KD reflector.
625KCd. Currently has an XPG2 R5 de-domed emitter w/Fet driver.
Will get around to upgrading to an XPG2 S4 soon, now that I have a couple.
I’ve been busy lately so haven’t really used these much. Hence, if I get the chance I don’t bust out “a light” I try a couple. I think they all classify as throwers. I have to admit, that modded Trustfire X7 looks good 
uf-1405- currently domed xml2 and (I think) Led4power driver. One day dedomed xpg2
Fivemega- sbt-70 aspheric with wavien direct drive. One day I’ll make a decent bezel
Fivemega- xml2 with dx-sst90 reflector direct drive
Courui- dedomed xml2 and Led4power driver
TK75vn
TK61vn with KD 86mm reflector
Many thanks 
Is a Courui host, buck driver, Xpg2 S4 working almost 6A I had already shared with you here:
Now I work in another super thrower (with reflector) and preliminary tests this exceeding 800 Kcds 
when completed I will share a new post with it
PP,
What heads are on the two 5M hosts?
76 led flashlight and 109 led flashlight
I really need to get set up to measure throw, but I haven’t yet. Right now I have a Courui that I guesstimate would be around 350kcd, but I want to do the KD reflector mod soon. My 1405 isn’t my favorite and isn’t done either, but it’s probably over 300kcd as well. I need more throwers :bigsmile:
Below are the Defiant (DST) lights in their original package when they went on the amazing clearance price of 6.16, (originally they were $29.99, then went on sale at $19.99, then to $6.16 clearance)
Here is a photo of my heavy modded Defiant Super Thrower (DST) pictured in the middle with a modded BTU Shocker and Olight SR90. ( it has a 26650 battery tube in place of the 3-C stock tube)
Speaking of DST's. I still haven't got around to making a non-getto version of this 824kcd (with dedomed XM-L2) light:
Can you send me a link for that 86mm reflector, via PM? thanks
If you don’t get a pm, just search “86mm kd reflector” there are a lot of threads and detailed instructions too. It’s an easy mod in the courui
Got PM from FmC
also have my first Courui on the way
There may be other camera hoods/adapters that cut down on the amount of work involved, but with the parts that Linus & I used, I wouldn't call it easy! :)
edit-
Build thread for anyone interested.
Well I haven’t done it yet, but it looked easy. Easier than the mini spotlight ?
In that context, it's relatively easy :)
That’s what I reach for these days. Nice light. Very high quality reflector but limited in diameter. Fits well in the pocket of a cold weather jacket. Get’s the job done by brute force lumen generation in turbo mode. Got asked if I was signalling the I.S.S. with it a few times back in the summer.
This is my best thrower to date. Im using the well marketed and available everywhere Trustfire trip xml t6 3800 lm as a host for three parallel XHP50 j4 5700k being driven by a blf inspired direct drive (Adventure Sport Flashlight design). All of my 18650’s currently on hand suck so I unscrewed an extension so I could use two 18350 eFest IMR 10A cells plus a small spacer. By method of measurement whereas I place my ammeter in series connection to the light and the meter it measures an amp. pull of a lil over 4. My ammeter is swing arm and the leads are 10 inches long 18 gauge wire. The mcpcb lead wires are 20 gauge silicone wrapped.
And oh yeah I almost forgot the part most in question for me. The original XML’s sit on a thin 45mm piece of aluminum. So I added a 4mm thick round aluminum heat sink joined with heat grease. In order to create more exposed surface area, I made thin grooves on the back side. The business end has the original high polish finish.
Links to some pics of it including beam shot.
