Which LED flashlight has the greatest throw?

I'm just curious (and looking for perspective). Obviously a good HID light still (days numbered maybe) surpasses the best LED. But for LEDs only - not most useful, most bomb-proof - the those than can throw light the best for seeing things at great distances. Which if you read that, means, LED-or (not) - lasers are out!

Say...as...- I have a TK41 in my hand and wonder, practicality aside, what LED light can throw further? The 3xXML lights aren't so focused...but by sheer force some must surpass it, then there are other emitters, etc.

(not for purchase, just out of curiosity).

If you remove the aspherics (imo not useful), the best i have personally seen in an acutally practical light (fits in a jacket pocket) was on a $25 DX light (I think it was uniquefire 800something).

XP-G, with a very very deep smooth reflector. spotsize only about as big as a saucer diagonally across my living room.

Olight SR90

Great output, but lumens is not throw. Diden't see any lux numbers on the xm18.
