This new light sounds like a thrower. Hmmmmmmb.

it better damn well throw, else the "Specially designed deep parabolic reflector" will just be marketing crap.

Sounds interesting. They needed a real thrower in the line.

58mm head. that's not a thrower

Its claiming 360 meters for throw...I'm not sure that's in super thrower territory now a days, but, its still a useful #.

If they claimed 700 M, sure, but it would be hard to due given the other specs, etc.


I need to see the beams...the beams are what tell me what the lights USE can be.

Think an XT-20 tube and switch with a larger single emitter reflector. Should be a very decent light for those who think the XT-20 is too floody.
Might even be great to mount on a varmint type rifle.

You don't say!

Sorry I had to do that.
I am interested on how well it will hold up against the other throwers in this category, ie. Olight m3x, catapult ...

can't wait to see pics, klarus is great imo

The naming of the light has not been settled yet. It may not be numbered "30"

Personally I think "30" denotes a triple emitter.

A great seeing klarus engineer new lights for their company the xt30 might be a really great thrower i wonder if its gonna look anything like the xt20?

It will be an XT-20 tube with a larger head and a single emitter

Klarus is short on a pure thrower IIRC...they have floody lights mostly. The XT20 is floody, the XT11 is floody, etc...the XT30, if based upon the XT20 tube, with a larger head and single LED would probably be designed for throw, as that's mostly what a larger head is for, and a single LED typically is to throw as well, etc.

Great, just great...my wallet is still smoking, and they go and pull THAT crap? REALLY? sheesh

Any idea when this light will be released?

Dealers can order now at Klarus. So think in the upcoming weeks.

if its using the xt20 tube I hope they put threads for the combat ring so you dont have to add extra orings to keep it from spinning

That's great news! Will keep eyes posted for it!

Already there are pictures.
Looks like a good thrower with smooth reflector.

thanks for the pics -hope klarus will get this light soon in the shops.

Looks like an improved version of a Balder BD-4....
