Hello everyone! Does anybody here have an idea of which HID light that has longest throw? The Costco-Or maybe the AE Powerlight 24W- Any comments?

well, excluding the tanklights, and RA's Maxablaster, I would say go with the costco HID. this light is ALL about the throw. I have easily lit up boats and treelines over 3/4 mile away, possibley more. The amondotech 3152 is also an amazing thrower, especially considering its smaller reflector.

Interesting to hear, billhess. Are you satisfied with your Costco?

not really it's too big and not really a flashlight. it's just a big joke when you get it out. I use the ae 24 much more

I really like the Costco for throw, but it's HUGE. The HUGE reflector is what allows it to throw. Only high $$$ lights will out throw it. The Megaray is one light that will spank the Costco, but you got to bend over an be ready for a spanking when it comes time to pay the bill.

Here's one thread to get you started on the hunt of info:

Ha Ha Ha! :dedhorse:


Also the megaray lights stuff up so far away, with such a narrowly confined beam cone, I would assume that you need night binoculars/scope to have it be of any practical use.
