NEW FOR 2013: The Best XML-Based SINGLE(ONLY) 1x18650 Thrower (NON-ASPHERIC)

[roadkill1109]

Let me start:

Nitecore P25 Smilodon: 20k lux

and none of those with extension tubes, that's cheating!

It must be STOCK and must operate with just one 18650 or two CR123's and was not made during the Jurassic period.

2013 guys! Think! Think! :naughty:

Challenge accepted.

Dereelight DBS-T XM-L- 27k lux
- Somewhat old compared to other lights on this list, but still holds its own with the constant pill updates that Dereelight frequently releases.

Olight M22 - 23k lux
- Newest light on the list, the throwiest of the M20 series.

EagleTac G25C2 MkII - 22k lux
- The update of EagleTac's foray into mid-sized XM-L thrower, supported with plethora of accessories that EagleTac is known for.

ThruNite TN11S - 20k lux
- Update to the original TN11, which was the pioneer of dangerously over-driven mid-sized XM-L throwers.

ThruNite Scorpion V3 Turbo - 20k lux
- The distant cousin of TN11, utilizing similar circuits, same emitter and reflector, making it a competitor of TN11 in all areas except for one; the UI.

Farka Xeno G42 XM-L - 23k lux
- Updated version of the original G42 with XP-G, which was, and still is, known for its awesome throw.

Nitecore MH25 - 20k lux
- Cousin of P25, geared towards users who crave for built-in recharging.

Crelant 7G5 V2 - 35k lux
- Awesome throw at budget price, this is the light that put Crelant in the spotlight and propelled the brand into a much more recognizable position.

Crelant 7G6CS - 26k lux
- Smaller than 7G5, with native support for 1x18650.

Great work! Though the 7G5 V2 has already been phased out by Crelant.

It's great to start up this list so forum members both old and new can see what new lights are out there that are readily available.

How would armytek predator xml l2 or g2 do?

 

[BLUE LED]

Just to add a few more

New Xeno G42 XM-L2, 28k Lux
Upgraded from the XM-L U2. However the quality is not as good as it's predecessor the G42 V2 XM-L U2. I have both

Armytek Predator XP-G2, 32k Lux
A nice compact 18650 thrower.

 

[TEEJ]

Any particular reason you wanted an XML, but were asking for throw?

The XPG2 for example will out throw the new XML's.

 

[BLUE LED]

I think it's because roadkill1109 already owns a Lumintop T5 Hunter which is a XP-G2 thrower. I understand that he now wants a single 18650 XM-L2 thrower.

I recommend the new Xeno G42 XM-L2.

Lumintop Hunter T5 (XPG2-R5) on the left, the Xeno G42v2-xml on the right.
(the g42's position was slightly angled towards the right when pic was taken)

I do not think that is the XM-L2 U2 version of the Xeno G42 which throws better than the XM-L U2 version.

I Suspect it has a poor regulation when using a single 18650.

Correct, it's not the XML2 version, but even if it is, it can't out-throw the T5, but, finish and workmanship-wise, the Xeno is much, much better. I have owned several good brands, but the Xeno really stands out.

Agreed the T5 throws better than the new G42 XM-L2.

If this a startup thread, why have a middle of the road Lux Nitecore in the OP?

I have the old 7G6CS xml U3 edition and it's great, but it's noth too bright using 18650, the best on two 16340 batteries.
