I had to run down to work tonight and thought I'd test out the throw on my new L1P. The building where I work is 320 feet long with a clear view from one end to the other.
It was completely dark and I took my L1P out already set on the low setting see my mod here to see just how far I could make out things (it was running on the Energizer alkaline I had put in it 5 days ago when I got the light). On low (5 ohm resistance accross the switch) I could clearly make out things at about 100 feet. I stood at one end of the building and could see the reflection from 3 shrink-wrapped pallets of paper that were 300 feet away.
On high I could clearly make things out at about 250 feet. At the full distance of 320 feet, I would have easily been able to see anyone standing at the opposite end, though I would have not been able to tell who it was.
I wouldn't have believed this unless I had actually seen it! Outstanding throw from a single AA light. This little sucker is AWESOME!!
