The flashlight (not a laser) that uses only 2 AA batteries, is available off-the-shelf (i.e., not custom made), with the absolute longest throw is ... ? Price is no concern.
+1 for Eagletac P100A2 and the Dereelight Javelin
The P100A2 is the absolute best 2AA thrower I tried and have yet to find another light to match it. I owned a ton like the Quark Turbo 2AA, P20A2 XP-E, Javelin 2/3AA, etc.
There's a reason I spec
ified the XR-E version of the P20A2. I have one and had an XP-E P100A2, and the P20A2 lit up things a lot further away. The newer XP-G ones probably don't perform as well in that respect.
Did you have the P100A2 XP-E R2 bin because my P100A2 R2 can outthrow my P20A2 R2 XP-E and this is side by side compared.
I assume it was an R2 -- I don't think Eagletac has used a higher bin XP-E in the light (Does Cree even make higher bin XP-Es?). And once again, XR-E P20A2 versus XP-E P100A2. The XR-E tends to have higher lux and thus throw than the same light with a XP series emitter.
I'm also surprised at your results. The P20A2 has a bigger, deeper reflector than the P100A2, which, with the same LED, tends to result in more throw.
100 + yards which is pretty good for AA lightsHow far is the throw of the P100A2? / P20A2?
I like to see the XP-E and XR-E get binned higher, it makes me happy. Love them beam profiles. Hope to see thme both in the R5 binNews from Cree is that the new XPE now is available in R4 bin

Sounds really promising. If you know where to get the P20A2 you have with the XR-E let us know, otherwise it's a great recommended light that's unavailable so the P100A2 might be the next best thing.
