looking for throw- Tiablo A9s Vs 10W boxer

[yonispinal]

Hello to the forum. This has become an increasingly expensive browsing site but there are far worse things to spend hard earned money on than lights.

I have been using these lights over the past 12 months:

Orb RAW ns for EDC
SF C3 and Night Ops Falcata 6V for spotting things on walks/camping
Fenix E2D RB100 as new toy that'll be used for camping/hiking

My question is: i am looking for a light that has SERIOUS throw/long range beam. I do prefer the type-III anodised tactical style of small/pocketable lights, and am undecided between the Tiablo A9s that has good reports for LED throw or a 10W Wolf Eyes Boxer or Microfire HID? Is the Tiablo in any way close to HID performance or do HID's, even the 500-550 lumen 10W models blow it out of the water.

Many thanks in advance for comments

Hmmm. I don't have the HID but I've got the Tiablo. The tiablo can throw 100m easily but I think lose out to the HID for brightness at that distance. If you wanna really get a thrower, get an aspherical M@g. See the custom mod forum for more info. I've seen those lights cast a tight circle at more than 700ft. :naughty:

I think a Good HID will blow the Tiablo out of the water in throw, but the Tiablo is a great thrower for a LED, even better with the Q5 emitter. For LEDs, the best throw with a single optic is probably a Asperical mod.

I'm thinking something like a 24-35w HID for your next purchase. The throwest stock HID is probably the Maxabeam but that is $2000+.

Fenix E2D-Rebel 100? never head of that, did you mean L2D-Rebel 100 or P2D-Rebel 100?
