Most throw for under $150?

[BIG45-70]

I'm looking for a real thrower to add to the collection. I'd like something with a usable beam and would like to stay away from the specialized "pencil" beam lights. I have around $150 to spend and have looked at the DRY 3xXML but would like something with a little more quality. Form factor doesn't matter to me as long as its some form or rechargeable. What's out there in my budget range?

I just got a armytek viking s. It seems like a nice light so far and has great throw for its size. I can still see detail out to 200 yards and a little more. Not sure if by rechargeable you mean plug the light in and charge it or run off rechargeable batteries like 18650s.

Yeah, for the $ its hard to beat the Crelant 7G9....actually, its even hard to beat the even less expensive ($87) Crelant 7G5 V2, especially when you screw on the optional Collimator Head.

The Deerelight Aspheric throws like a MoFo too and comes in under budget, but the beam itself is so concentrated that using it to SEE with is a lot like using a laser pointer to look for your lost dog, etc. Throw-wise though, its got the range certainly.

The DRY 3 XML is more of a flood light than a throw light, albeit it does throw just from shear horsepower....but for a few hundred yards. The above lights all throw further than the DRY by an enormous margin, by double or even triple its range.

:D

I just checked out the Dereelights Night Master. I can already tell hanging around this forum will become expensive. :thinking:
