Need a thrower with some decent flood as well.

[hivoltage3061]

Need a mix of the 2. Something around $100, and it does not need to be pocketable. I have found several, but would like some suggestions from happy owners. However, distance is more important that flood. I have been on this forum for 10 years, but lost my password and couldn't log in so I needed to create a new account. Not a newbie...lol Thanks.

I've been happy with my PD40. It's lights up the golf course where I walk my dog. Need to keep lookout for coyotes. Stated throw is 400 meters

acebeam L18 TIR optic, 1500lm, 250kcd, 1000m, less spill than a reflector type
acebeam L35 lattice power, TIR, 4300lm, 81.2kcd, 570m, high lumen, not as far
thrunite catapult V6, SST, 2836lm, 120kcd, 692m, throw over large area

all are USB-C rechargeable via battery or port and can be found on amazon, $75-90

if you can be more specific on use, where and distance requirement it'd be easier to make recommendations.

I just received the fenix pd35 v3 and its the best overall light ive owned. Its better than the pd40. It has a great throw with enough spill,

Nitecore MH25 v.2. 1300 lumens, 519 yds. throw, $90. I have the MH10 v.2 which is a similar light with a smaller head. Brightness settings are just right to cover just about any task, and runtime at each setting is hard to beat.

Good choices, I will check them all out. Liking the Catapult so far. Anybody know how much difference there is between the Catapult Mini ?

 

[pc_light]

Catapult Mini uses an optic that narrows the beam, great for throw but will have reduced spill/flood compared to regular Cat.

FWIW, I love my Cat V6.

The new one with the sst-70?

 

[alohasurftoad]

Well, I bought the big boy catapult.

definitely best bang for the buck for what you needed, especially if you got the extra 15% off at checkout on Amazon. $63.74+whatever your state tax is...

 

[hivoltage3061]

The new one with the sst-70?

Yep.

Ten degree beam. Pretty wide for a thrower but plenty of horsepower, you should like it.

$181 here in Oss. Seems most flashlight prices have gone nuts for us, especially on Amazon. Easily twice US prices. Looking to get into some more recent lights after not buying for years but sheesh!

How about a Convoy 4x18a sbt90.2?

Here's a review not mine, seems to have reasonable flood and a decent throw.
