The XML-C8 is a surprisingly good thrower...
I wrote a brief overview of one I purchased from Manafont here...

This light has throw similar to my properly-driven TR-1200 but is a compact 1x 18650 lamp. It brightly illuminates a barn that is ~700 feet from my house. For the price and amount of light, I have not trouble recommending this to anyone who has a supply of cells available.
