Looking for quality throwers...

Hi, I am new at the forum and I am really learning a lot... I just bought my first real flashlight, a surefire lx2, and I am really happy of what a little flashlight can do, specially the throw capacity of it, it's amazing... Well, I don't have any other real flashlight to compare with, and I would like to hear from you, recommendations for quality throwers.. Price is not a problem and I would like to keep it not too big... Thanks in advance for your help...

Check out the Jetbeam RRT-1 or the Dereelight DBS.

The DBS has a long standing tradition of quality and top of the line throwing capabilities.

The RRT-1 is a new light, but Jetbeam themselves are known for their quality also.

I was really impressed with the RRT-1 beamshots. However, you will notice it's too close to the DBS to really matter. Thread found here. You will notice the DBS looks warmer but that is because it's using a Q2 LED. A Q5 would give you a brighter light which would even out an almost unnoticeable difference.



However, search for "throwers" and you will find a TON of beamshots out there. This one has a lot of throwers.

RRT-1 is on my short list, love the thread on with the light sabre beamshots

Tiablo A10 blows away the RRT-1 and the DBS... check out MrGman's lux readings.

Let me be the first one to say :welcome:


I believe Tiablo A10 is still a king in throw.

The best throw is DEFT, next in line is Tiablo A9 with aspheric lens.

Jetbeam M1x, Jetbeam RRT-1 and Tiablo A10 are my recommendation. :welcome:

Thanks for your help... I am leaning to jetbeams m1x and rrt-1 ... What do you think about the difference between sizes..?? In other words, How about the power - size comparison..?? Is it worth to have the m1x ( bigger ) ? Or the rrt-1 will do almost the same..?? Sorry, If I didn't explain myself good enough...:thinking:

Tiablo A9 with aspheric lens > Tiablo A10 > EagleTac M2XC4 3*R2 > Thrunite catapult SMO > M1X

Aspheric Tiablo A9 counts as a modded light, not factory standard. So we're considering modded lights now are we? If thats the case a 6D maglite driven at 24v with a SSC P7 or MC-E drop in and an aspheric lens would decimate the Aspheric A9... over 100K lux throw!

i throw also the solarforce skyline in its a very good and cheap thrower

Only problem is that he mentions that he does not want it too big, and the 6D Mag would be a little big.:thinking:

M1x is bigger and more powerful.... you might wanna check out selfbuilt's review on the review section.:tinfoil:

Not really.... size is relative. The Tiablo A9 isn't exactly EDC pocket material.

I have to go with the JetBeam RRT-2 Raptor......:tinfoil:

I'll see your RRT-2, and raise you an M1X! This thing was RIDICULOUS at throwing when I owned it, not as big as it looks in pictures as well.

The Heliotek HTE-1A kicks serious butt.
