I have an $80 budget and I want a light similar in size to the Fenix TK-12 R2, and I would get the TK-12 R2 but is has an OP reflector, and I am looking for something that throws far. The light will be mounted on an AR-15 so it has to be able to withstand the recoil, and the light also has to have a fast strobe mode, above 12Hz. Should I wait and see about these new SST-50 lights? Could a light the size of the TK-12 with an SST-50 put out more than 400 lumen OTF?
Experts help me, please!

Yes , 18650 size lights can put out over 400 Lumen ..
If you need throw , you might look at dedicated throwers ..
Spear clones throw well ! [ Just got one myself ]
The one I got seems to be very well made , offers good run time , and should throw 200+Yards ..
Fenix Tk-12 size , your looking at 100-150 Yards , maybe 200 if you can find one with a really good XR-E R2 emitter that can do close to 300Lumen OTF or has a really HOT hotspot .
I might have owned at least 10 P60 R2 drop ins over the last year , and only 2 out of those have been really outstanding .. I mean outstanding ...
So I would say , take a look at the throwers !
HS-802 / Spear Clone / L2
Just for size comparison ...
The 802 throws close to 300Yards , I only got the Spear clone today , but would say it will throw harder , the L2 is good to 100Yards [ XP-G R5 ] a R2 will be good for another 50 Yards , and a really good R2 can be good for another 50 again .
Hope this helps .

How much throw do you need? Also, keep in mind that more lumen doesn't mean more throw. A relatively low lumen laser throws a lot further then a high lumen flood light.
What's your price range?
A Spear clone would throw well, but I'm not sure about the durability.

Thanks for the suggestions old 4570
I am looking at spending around $80 and would like a true 300 yard throw. Thanks for the help.

what a pity that this little light isnt in production anymore.
Think it would be capable of what you need.

The Eagletac T20C2 might be a good choice with a pretty good thrower around 16,000 lux.

Good place to buy- http://www.eagletac-usa.com/products/product.aspx?pid=1-3-6719
Their is Eagletac XP-G models coming out soon but I'm not sure you will get more throw with them.
You can order a weapons kit for $35 more
