Looking for a thrower - need suggestions

hey
im looking for a flashlight to mount onto a rifle to be used for night shooting.
Would like the flashlight to have a good throw and be as bright as possible.

- bateries RCR123 or/and 18650
- budget light.. (preferably from dx)
- with a decent runtime
- pressure switch compatible if possible

currently got a Q5 cabela mod and a RC-F4 but wuld somethin brighter.

im open for suggestions..

thanks

Do you have a more specific price range?

I'm also not sure if DX or KD have throwers with pressure switches.

My Sunlite Eagle 8w has a pressure switch accessory, but it is well beyond DX prices.

Tryin to keep it in dx price range.. not more than $30-$40.
I found this Romisen on dx

not sure if its gonna be a lot brighter than my Q5 mod

This throws up there along w/ the DBS

hmm.. not sure about remote switch operation.

but in DX price range. a thrower that i have. tight beam, bright white color and throws far.

my fenix tk11 cant reach as far and has alot bigger hotspot than this.

A few light you might want to look at:
WF-600
Aurora WF-600
SG-L8(Spear clone)

Just got me a Ultrafire WF-502B R2 [ Over 7000Lux @ 1 Meter on Hi ]

This looking pretty good and its still pretty compact which helps when being mounted, not to mention it cost half as much as the other lights.
Im guessing the other lights will out throw this light, but a good throw up to 100m should be sufficient for my needs.

Look forward to ur review and some more outdoor shots.
Cheers

Actually , they will throw past 100Meters , but I have some trees @ 100 meters , and they light up real nice , well enough to shoot something through a scope .

I dont have anything further than that to try out , here at home .

+ I have a lens [ aspherical ] on the way , that should increase throw .
Still waiting for it to be shipped . But yes , these flashlights are just the Cats meow , when compared to what was around 5 years ago .

But there is a lot to chose from in this size , check out DealExtreme and KaiDomain , and spend a few days browsing .

Im currently Ho - and - humin over this drop in http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.21037

If it didnt have strobe , I would have put down my money long ago , but should be a drop in for the Solarforce or Ultrafire .
If your looking for some real power , but expect it to run HOT !

This review says that the WF-600(18650 only version) get around 16,300 lux at 1 meter, so around 50% more distance. The beam is narrower and throws further, but that is because of the larger reflector.

There designed to be more throw than flood , yes , reflector design .

Only so much you can do with a small flashlight , even my old Maglites with terralux units , can throw well because you can focus the beam .
Im going to do a Cree P4 mod to a terralux , so cant wait to see how that works .

Its just , you need to decide how large a flashlight you want , how far you need to see etc . If you check DX and KD you will find flashlights up to 900 Lumen [ Claimed output ] . Like I said , spend a little time looking and your sure to find a balance of power VS size .

If your willing to wait a month or so I would suggest the Fenix TA30.
It has the shock absortion you want for a gun as well as should have great throw. Then pair that with the Fenix Pressure switch, and I think you will have an incredible setup.
