Surefire LED Torch with the best Throw?

[steerpike999]

HI There, I am new to this Forum, have been lurking for a while and recently purchased a Surefire L4. WOW what a wall of light!!
Anyway, I was wondering which of Surefire's LED range has the greatest throw? I was interested in a tight beam that has a long reach / throw.
Thanks for any replies in advance.

Cheers

The 6PL, G2L, E2L and L1 all seem to have a similar, tight beam pattern.

I have had neither in my hands before, but i am just echoing what i have heard on here before.

The L5 is not a bad thrower either.

L5 rocks I wish I hadn't sold mine now.

The L5 and L6.

I've had 2 L5's (still have one). If it's *throw* you're after, look outside Surefire.

I recently bought a Tiablo A9 that blows away my Lux V L5.

An R2 Cree from Cutter is going into the L5.

Of course the Tiablo is a better thrower. It uses the brightest emitter from Cree sitting at the bottom of a huge reflector, there is no contest.

I hope that I didn't come across as a troll, but as one who has bought both.

I think Surefire could put more into the performance aspect of its product. Those of us that pay the premium think we are buying the best, but it isn't always the case.

If you don't mind moving away from Surefires, there are many better throwers in the market at a similar or cheaper price and comparable build quality. One of the best being the Dereelight DBS with the Q5 module.

The L5 and L1 have good throw... Not sure about the U2 - but I think that has good throw also...

Out of all the LED lights Surefire makes, the new L1 has the tightest beam, and excellent throw. Some people dont like it because it's beam is too tight to use up close but it is truly a pocket spotlight.

My Cree L1 has good throw, but it also has excellent sidespill IMHO.
