I've had the Klarus XT11 recommended to me as a thrower to replace my venerable old Skyray 1JC8 (cheap, nasty, but throws like a bomb for the $).
However, when checking out the XT11, I noted that it has an OP reflector, and not a smooth one. Can it really be that an OP reflector + XML can out-throw or even match a smooth reflector with an XRE? If the XT11 really can light up an object at 100+ as well as my existing light, then that is exactly what I will buy.
Other lights that have been suggested to me was the Armytek Predator Pro, which I know can throw. The only problem is that I want to use it as a scope mounted hunting light, and I don't want to have to muddle around with multiple modes; I want a no nonsense single mode and not have to worry about turning it off and on having it come back in low mode or strobe or whatever.
So my question, can the XT11, with it's OP reflector and XML emitter, really be a worthy thrower to replace my old smooth reflector+XRE light?
