I have a few, but some are in the works with mods to push them to the limits. right now i have a TK75vn, (215 edition) Olight SR90 (soon to get a XHP70) a BTU Tom-E Super Shocker, ( soon to get pushed with more amps) several experimental DSTs under various levels of mods, with the most powerful one with a XP-G2 dedomed at 4.0 amps on a 26650. Also have some runner-ups, including a Jacobs A60, some aspherics, etc.
588kcd Uniquefire 1405. I’ve since made slightly higher output ones using the MTN-MAX drivers instead of the cheap 5A buck drivers from Mountain Electronics. Dedomed XP-G2 S4 2B with a little something extra. Cerakoted by none other than n10sivern.


Ignore the lube on the bezel, the light had a really good night out with a C8. ![]()

Nice!! I always wanted to mod one of those DTS’s but I have never seen one for sale at the “local” home depot. My local home depot is an hour’s drive away so I don’t get there often.
Nice mod Kloepper. I have one of them with a de-domed XM-L2 in it. It’s still an amazing thrower. I modded the original driver on mine, I’m at around 6amps. Mine sure doesn’t look as nice as yours though. Wow that is a beauty!
Built a few aspherics like a green PT120 DD with fet switch in a copper pill powered by 4 D NiMH Tenergy maglite with 50mm Optolife glass. According to Lambda 4 Ds should pull about 30A. Have a rifle mounted TR1200 host running three 4/3A NiMH (18650size) cells at about 12A to a red PT54 w/50mm Optolife aspheric. Tape switch is set up with a fet that is powered by a CR2016 coin cell. Have a few A60s and a few Fandyfire/Skyray/Marsfire SLT-V2/V6 driven as high as 5A with XML2 noctigon. Bought a 1405 that an aluminum adapter is under construction for a 75mm lens with a new driver. Am also on the Maxtoch M24 group buy.
Very cool.
That 75mm lens on the 1405 sounds amazing.
I managed to score six of them when they went on a $9 dollar clearance almost two years ago. I left one stock, four are reserved for the monster Quad-DST, (which will finish eventually) and one is very modded.
My Best (for now :bigsmile: ) reflector thrower 605 kcds, ~ 90 meters to the antenna
Sorry for the bad quality, it is taken moments ago for this post (phone camera)


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

Is a Courui host, buck driver, Xpg2 S4 working almost 6A I had already shared with you here:
Hi guysAfter many months of work (I have little free time :_( ) after many hours of testing and error (drivers damaged, leds damaged,focusing hours) I share with you my two new best throwers
The first on a Courui host [image] Making the base of the pill [image] [image] [image] Making the diameter adapter for the driver [image] [image] [image] [image] New pcb for the tail switch [image] [image] New silicone tailcaps [image] Some part of work on th…
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)
