Are there any better 1xCR123 throwers other than the Lumintop L1C and the P1C?

There was a Ray D1 before, but i can't find it on sale anywhere.

Any help guys?

Funny you bring this up. Last night in between drinking a fine selection of craft beer I lego'd a 1xCR thrower. Basically it is a SF 3P with Ahortons Aspheric lens and Cree XRE R2 drop in. I personally dont think you will get much more throw in a 1x CR size. I would guess the next best thing would be a 6P style light with OMG lumens drop in, AKA the DEFT-EDC.

Good Luck!

Yeah, the throw of the P1C is almost identical to the L1C. Amazing for a light so small, right?

I wonder if there's a custom aspheric for those lights. that would be the bomb! haha :)
