The title says it all, what is the current pocket throw king under $150. I've been looking at the Dereelight DBS 3SM MC-E.
+1I think the DBS with MC-E is more floody than the R2 versions.
If you want throw, go for the R2
Personally if I wanted a 1X123 thrower I'd get an L1Yea, that the one to get if you want a 2x CR123A/ RCR123A / 18650 light

The "current pocket throw king" for a 1 cell pocketable light is the Jet II IBS
I think Surefires are over hyped and over priced
what a beam!
just when i thought i was done buying lights :help:
I don't really like the reverse clickies so the JetBeam is out.
I think Surefires are over hyped and over priced so the L1 is out too.
Did you read the part where it says....
"Keep in mind that these pics were taken with a longish exposure to show the beam dispersion characteristics. "
Now I don't know how much a long exposure enhances the beam but, I wouldn't expect the beam to look as defined as it does in the pics if you buy one.
I'm sure it is noticeable, however, hardly the "lightsaber" it appears to be in those shots. It was also most likely a little foggy the night those shots were taken to further enhance the beam's appearance.
Good idea in pointing that out
Jetbeam II IBS throws for over 10,000 lux... and it's only $75 dollars so you could get two jk
It is still probably the best as far as a 1 x CR/RCR123a thrower

So I think I'm going to go with the DBS. So the new question is, are the only differences between the MCE and the R2 the reflector? Can I buy one version and just buy the other reflector?
Two of them won't throw twice as far, though, like the DBS will.
