What budget light currently available that can out-throw the old, 72Kcd Jacob A60 ?

Brinyte B158 / B158B (same thing just without the knobs of the B158)

It appears to have similar dimensions of the A60. The stock XP-L HI version should easily best the A60 (note: most stock cd numbers refer to the XM-L2 version). And if you feel like modding, it can reach 300kcd+. Link1 Link2

The B158B is currently $27 at GB. I’ve bought them as low as $22 on sale. Coupons may be available, too.
