I've seen some of the Olights, the Fenix TK75, do you guys know of any other lights that have a similar throw to those lights but not so big/long.

I have a Nitecore p16 which has 289 m throw, and a Nitecore TM26 which has 440 m throw.. I'm looking for something in the 700m+ range, I have plenty of flood lights, I want something that has more of a hotspot. Any suggestions?

Fenix TK75 is 119,500cd... I don't think... you're going to find too many throw-lights that bright and that small.

I think it's safe to say most hand held lights won't even break 10,000cd

There are lights smaller than the TK75 with over 1 million cd let alone 10k, but they are custom not mass production, etc.

If you head to Vinh's sub forum and look at the SLUT for example, it out throws the TK 75 on a 18650 sized form factor....for less money.

Eagtac s200cvn xpg2 has 127kcd
But is a modified light by vinhnguyen54.
It's a 1x18650 light.

If you want those bog numbers in a small package, modified is the way.

Does Vinh offer modded predators? They're already pretty epic for a single 18650 light, so with a dedomed LED and possibly boosted driver, they could offer what you're looking for. Multiple 18650's or 26650 based lights would probably go beyond "smallest"...
edit: apparently it can't be boosted. Still, a good thrower for the size. Aforementioned s200cvn is probably your best bet for size vs throw.

When I use mine, I'm impressed every time I click if on. Such distance from a light that'll fit in your pocket is crazy.

It gives lights 2-3 times it's size a run for their money.

The vinh modified 47's (one 26650) and the Eagletac SC200C2vn (One 18650) mentioned throw about the same or farther than a TK75 depending on what cells you load them with (The 47's version has a fatter beam), and are both pocketable.

Those get you up to ~ 137 k cd.

The SLUT gets about double the cd as they do (From what I hear, I don't HAVE the SLUT)....on one 18650.

The XPG2 version of the Predator yields a very good but not even in the same league 40 k cd...so if just dedomed, that might go to ~ 80 k cd w/o a boost. (It would probably end up a bit warmer too)

Thrunite TN32 or Olight SR52vn! Both around 240 kcd , the latter a Vinh mod. Both awesome lights! I can't decide between them but I will definitely be buying one very soon

it beats the stock K40 that's shown beside it

Buy a hand-held zillion-candlepower spotlight from a hardware store if you're just looking for throw. Yeah they lie about the zillion candlepower but the 100 watt bulb still throws further than a LED light.

And I bet I have a led light that will out throw it.

TK61vn good for a mile throw.

Honestly not sure, can one of those do that?
