But I already have the King and the UF2100 and I know they are not throwers…………
Not I want something that throws further than the King but maybe no just as floody.
Maybe that is not possible and I need to look at something with throw and flood since a single emitter might not do it for me, but I do not know si I need your expertice
It is a nice light, but not as powerful a thrower as the XM-L lights above. At ~35Klux, there are many other choices that would best this one.
It would be an excellent candidate for an XM-L U2/U3 swap, however. With the 4A driver pushing the XM-L chip, you could possibly gain ~80% more lux !!!
He’s got it. I think this will be your best option. My K40 smokes all my other good XM-L throwers including the EagleTac M3C4 U2, Crelant 7G5, and Olight M3X. And those are some very good XM-L throwers. But the K40 leaves them sitting in the dust.
Do you have some more details of exactly how that is set up? I know reversing a camera lens will cause the inage to be tiny, so it must work similar to an aspheric, but exactly how and why the use of the macro? I would like to read more about that.
I also want to find the thread on CPF again where the guy used a fresnel lens and a (double convex I think), to make a super thrower out of it. I just can't find it again.
As far as the OP goes, just contact ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS, he's the thrower guy around here.
Yea but the beam from them XR-E throwers are totally useless at trying to search for anything. Pencil beam throwers are useless to me. I would rather have the spill from any XM-L thrower I have than a pencil beam XR-E. I have been that route and get rid of my Dereelight. It threw well, but I would much rather have the K40 that in my honest opinion threw and lit up better at longer distances.
