I have an Archer 1A. I know it isn't the model you are asking but I believe they are very similar except the higher lumens of 1C with Cr123 vs 1A with NiMh. You can use lithium ion rechargeables in both, so they really should output similar then.
It is a throwy and surprisingly bright light for its size but I don't think you'll get over a hundred meter range out of it.

That 1C doesn't throw that far. It's a lie from Thrunite.

it's treu that it's a lie.
in our *ives we have accepted to live with lies, haven't we?
once bought and in RL action, nobody cares anymore if the number on the spec sheet was 150 or 230.
once bougt, we forget about the numbers. even the runtime numbers on the Med and Lo modes.
the Archer is well built, has 10m drop impact resistance (that's no lie because i asked them in e-mails about it and they confirmed it in writing so it must be right!), and no problems with the o-rings.
great light, buy one immediately!!

Actual throw for the 1C is 144 meters. Thrunite is not lying intentionally, but they did use the wrong equation for calculating throw for the Archer 1A/1C/2A. I've tried contacting them several times about the problem, without response. Been a month or two, guess I'll try again.
You can quite plainly see how far off the Archers are from the ANSI FL1 curve:

Any company who claims to use the ANSI standard should well know, how to use the right calculation.
I received my archer 1c today. As a complete novice, I think it's quite similar on max to my ea2. The archer has a noticeably brighter hotspot up close when indoors, but I didn't pick a lot of difference between the two when I shone them at the ceiling. Similar performance outdoors at 25m, didn't test it further than that.
