Good day!
Re: Longest throwing Surefire?
Longest throwing... I'll make a wild guess and say an M6 or a Beast. In the very least, it'd be one of the lights with a turbohead.

Re: Longest throwing Surefire?
I heard that the older model turbo heads have better throw than the newer ones. It would definetely be one of the lights with the turbo head, like carrot said. The m6 might win because of the tremendous lumen output, and you can actually buy it for less than 3 grand.
Re: Longest throwing Surefire?
The Beast/Hellfire for HID's, bulky though.
As far as the older model lights, SRTH (Short Rim Turbo Head I think?) was/is the 'thrower' with less stipple on the reflector, more like a light/medium orange peel.
Re: Longest throwing Surefire?
Like what JasonC8301 mentioned above, and these are still available from Lagger-Pro.

It's also going to depend on the lamps used. Some bulbs have smaller filaments than others, resulting in a narrower beam. I seem to recall a lamp with a designation starting with "N" doing that.

Re: Longest throwing Surefire?
Does anyone make a smooth reflector for Surefires? That would make it throw.
Re: Longest throwing Surefire?
Does anyone know how much better an SRTH throws compared to the current range of KT turboheads assuming identical LAs?
Lagger-pro's price for an SRTH is quite steep but I wouldn't mind paying for it if it throws just that bit further.
Re: Longest throwing Surefire?
In my experience the N62 in a Combat light like M3t+A19 throws quite a bit further than the MN21. Not sure if what others have seen...

Re: Longest throwing Surefire?
I have not compared the SRTH to the KT. But I can say that my D3/N2/SRTH 105 lu spot is so well defined and bright that I can see it within my M3/MN11 225 lu lamp spot. And I get the 1 hr run time with the N2 vs only 20 min with the MN11.

Re: Longest throwing Surefire?
The old "almost" smooth 3" T-Head is has the best throw of any SureFire I have seen.

Re: Longest throwing Surefire?
Depends on how good your arm is.
No, seriously, the G2 isn't that great a thrower. Respectable, yes, but great, no. Reflector's probably not big enough.
