Hi everyone!
I want to buy good thrower flashlight but price is important for me. I decided to buy Solarforce M9 or Nitecore MT40. Which one should i choose? Which one is better as thrower?

M9 outthrows MT40 easily.

I don't have a cd for the M9, just an exaggerated 1,000 M claim in ads. (Unless it actually throws ~ as well as an Olight SR95 UT, etc)

Has anyone measured it?

M9 with 2x18650 does around 65klux/1m. That's basically twice as much as MT40.

Yeah, I think the MT40 is only ~ 33k cd or so.

They CLAIM #'s that would be 4 times more than you have, but, still, ~ 65 k cd is still strong throw.






So, Alexi - Is there an example of what you hope to be able to see at what range?

Like, "I want to be able to see if there's a hole in my fence from 100 meters away", etc.

:D
