Does the Deft LR count? It's built by a CPF member named SaaBlaster, it's the best in its size.
If it's modified, it doesn't count. Only production ones.

Saabluster, and it would indeed be the best LED thrower at that price range. The original DEFT throws a lot farther, but it's not currently in production.
It's a custom/boutique production light, it's not made from anything else.

It is production, just small scale. Small enough that in the premium models, components are hand-picked for max performance.
If you just want a mass-produced light, the Thrunite Catapult V3 is the best-performing thrower in your price range.

Ok, could you pm me the specs of the DEFT? So among the mass-produced you choose the Catapult as the farthest throwing...
You are partly correct...you can look at it that way..but at least you'll have something to brag about haha

The DEFT specs are on the OMGLumens site. I would wager the Catapult is closer to what you're looking for, as it has a traditional hotspot-and-spill beam similar to your TK, not like the tight hotspot-only beam of the aspherics.

As an owner of many thrower lights, you dont really use them that much. I have them coz i'd like to own them, but to use as EDC? Naah... I edc a Quark AA 14500 and my Jetbeam BC25, that's it. (and an iTP A3 Upgraded just as backup)
I have the SC600 for flood, the XT11 for medium flood and a little bit of throw, and the TK41 for throw. I don't really use them that much too. I just like to own some. Something that throws substantially farther than the TK would be nice though. I don't want to go into modified exotics. Regular production lights is good enough for me.

I carry a Quark MiNi AA neutral as my goto EDC with a Millermodded Arc AAA on my keychain.
I sometimes carry my Quark X neutral 14500 in a cell phone holster when I am not using the holster to carry MsDonalds coupons.
As to a production thrower:

There are brighter lights out there usually SST-90 based but are much bigger.
