Some help/advice for a new guy please!!!

I certainly applaud your willingness to get into modding. What it sounds like you want is a thrower, that being the case, I’ll leave this post here :- Small Sun ZY-T08 (Tk-35 style) for 29 USD

And allow you to follow the links and make your own mind up. 0:)

It should be said that our current thrower fetishist Ilikeflashlights loves this light, and was happy to stick it up against a fenix tk41, which to me, for a 17 quid light is pretty damm fine an accolade in itself, regardless of the result. I’ve got one on the way, but it seems that many people who have got this light are very very pleased with it.
