Smallest throw light?

[hahnyc87]

Ok so I have a Fenix p1d ce q5 and one of the more inexpensive Rebel WF-R2 (I think that is the correct model) on the way. From what I have read on the p1d, it is not very tight due to the OP reflector so I will only get a usable beam about 100 feet away. There is nothing on the Rebel about throw that I can find so I ask this.... What is the smallest AA/AAA/1X123 light that packs a real throwing punch!? The search for throw only comes up with giants or the individual LEDs unless I'm missing something.

Have you looked at the D-MINI I think that will fit your bill nicely.

I also have a D-mini, but for smaller size I'd say a smooth-reflectored P1 or P1D (or P1D CE if you don't mind the Cree rings), or an Olight T10 Q5 or T15 Q5. The Olights are also available for less without the Q5 and are still very bright and use the same mixed-surface reflector. The price difference between Q5 and non-Q5 isn't as large now as it was when I bought my regular T10. I've been very impressed with it and my D-mini, as well as my smooth P1's, but my smaller lights are much more convenient to carry.

My modded (RV7 board + Cree R2) Romisen RC-G2 easily out-throws all my lights (except the Fenix T1), including the P2D-R100... on a single AA.

The upcoming modded Romisen RC-N3 should blow it out of the water... with 1000mA into an R2... from a single CR123. Since the reflector size is similar, I actually expect it to throw almost as well as the T1... at <1/2 the size and 1/3 the weight.

Look into the brand new JETBeam Jet 1 Pro. 1 AA 210-240 lumen pocket thrower w/ Cree R2 and smooth reflector. There are several reviews in the Flashlight Reviews section of CPF proper.

+1.....also look into the D-mini, both are great lights that pack a punch!

If you can stretch to using 18650 battery,you may want to consider a CL1H V3 Q5.Ok it is bigger but not by much.

+1 on the JETBEAM I PRO, I got mine today and love the throw.

For more throw, you'll need a bigger reflector and hence, a bigger light.

How much throw do you want?

Smallest throw light is probably the Olight T10 Q5. I have a Fenix P1 CE smooth reflector, which is an honorable mention, but the T10 out throws it handily.

If you stack 2 T10 bodies together with a contact washer in between, you can run it on a unprotected 17670. You also have to put a couple of magnets on the (-) end of the battery, the spring isn't quite long enough. But, you get about a half hour longer runtime than you would with a CR123 primary. Only level is high, but that's what you want, isn't it?
