Throw kings of 2x123 LED? (Excluding KL3)

Hi all, may I ask, in your opinions, which lights are the throw kings of 2x123 LED lights? I know that KL3 throws very far away, so I would like to know other opinions...

Thanks for your input!

Hi TT!

I have an Aleph3, DB917, 2x123 see Click Here for Aleph 3 and beamshots

It is the best I have seen and really "outshines" a Gladius and a Surefire L2, due to the great McLux 38mm reflector!

Commercially available or all categories incl. mods?
You can squeeze a lot of lumens in a few degrees by putting a LuxV module in a SF turbohead.

The Gladius throws well and has nice side spill.

The INOVA XO3 has lots of throw for the money.

Yeah, for the price the XO3 is an exellent thrower.

My Inova T3(which I believe has the same LED and such as the XO3) is a great thrower also. I suppose if you had the money, you could build a custom LED light just for "throw".

I know it uses only a single CR123, but a BBH on the VIP is impressive. For a 2 cell light, got to agree with jeffb...Aleph 3 is a monsta.

I think the Surefire X200 is one of the longest throwing 2 cell LED lights, especially for its tiny size.

I've never seen anyone here talking about the X200. IS there a beamshot of sort that we can reference to or a review of a kind?

If money isnt a real large concern I'd go with an Aleph3 with a bb750 on 2xr123's with a LuxV. Of course im not known to be a long runtime fanatic. I usually go for as bright as it can be. That aleph combo would work well with a NG1000/LuxIII combo and save yourself $20

Thanks a lot! I was asking about commercially available lights though... how about the new HA3 PM6, or TL-2 LED (2nd gen.)?

PM6 LED will throw like the Gladius in theory as it uses a similar reflector. A better one. In reality it depends on the power to the LED, and I do not know the power levels of those lights.

Take a look at the LedXtreme Predator - Somewhat homely but I believe it out-throws them all.

Yeah, the problem is where do you get it? They dont sell it on the website that flashlightreviews shows. I'de go with the m6 3w HAIII.

In my flashlight collection, I notice that the ones with optics tend to "out-throw" those with reflectors. Maybe it's just the way the collimated-beam pattern looks outdoors on a foggy night, as opposed to a flood-beam pattern.

Does the SureFire L1 throw like the 4th gen KL1?

Peli M6. I'll take mine vs. a Gladius outside tonight. Stay tuned.

Thanks you all for the input! I really overlooked LedXtreme Predator, but I don't want to EDC such a big light...

I used to EDC an Inova XO. I have given it to a friend recently, so I want to buy another one for replacement. XO3/T3 is in my watch list, as well as TL-2 gen.2 (possibly mod it with a LuxIII) and PM6 HA3.

greenLED, I'm definitely looking forward to your result! I heard pretty good comments for Gladius, but to me it's a bit too expensive. If PM6 HA3 with LuxIII can come close or compete with Gladius, then I'll go for PM6.
