Biggest reflector on single AA light

[Ian2381]

I've been searching and searching for a single AA light that can throw the most. Have several flood to throw lights and still looking for that light that can satisfy my needs.
I would prefer a light with reflector but if an aspheric is still unbeatable in terms of throw then I might as well settle with what I have.

So what single AA/14500 light has the biggest reflector?

Maybe Quark AA body with TurboX head, but I doubt it'll out-throw an aspheric setup.

I guess that from the "production" ones (i.e. not custom / small series) it's the jetbeam Pro I. Incidentally it also has the XR-E led and takes 14500. Good luck finding one though.

Aspheric is unbeatable in terms of throw.

I don't think you are going to find what you are looking for short of a custom build. The aspherics that you have can be beaten by a reflector only if you find a much bigger reflector which you aren't going to find as far as I know in a single AA light.

You might be able to drive another light harder than the flood-to-throw lights that you have. You need a XR-E R2 that is driven to 1A and then you need an aspheric larger than what is in your current lights which may be possible.

I had a flood-to-throw with close to a 28 mm head but when I took out the lens it was actually only 22 mm as far as the effective part of it. The rest was a flat, flange like area. If you haven't tried some of your flood-to-throw lights with a 14500 yet that would be the first thing to try.
