Looking for a 2000+ Lumen flashlight with a far throw.

Hello, I am looking for any suggestions on which 2000 and above lumen flashlights are good.
I am looking to pay less than $200 with maybe a $50 leeway if it uses a lot of 18650's.
I currently own an SRT7 by Nitecore and i love it, but i am looking for more power if possible.
Thank you for your help.

If you can stretch to $300.00 knowing it has a rechargeable battery pack, maybe a Titanium Innovations L35 HID light? It is well reviewed, and liked by the HID and spotlight crowd here as a nice, basic 35 watt handheld HID.

Found that for the same not quite $300, you can source an Olight SR-90... Lots of options.

Since you like Nitecore lights, keep a eye out at Battery Junction. They had a sale on the TM36LITE for $235 a few weeks back. As the LITE version it only uses 4 18650 cells which keeps the price down.

What are you trying to accomplish with more lumens? More throw? More spill? The Nitecore EAX is rated at 2000 lumens and 490 m of throw. It uses 8 AA cells, and works great on NiMH. I have the EA8, which is essentially the same light but only 1k lumens and the same throw, so less spill as well, and I love it. I personally measured at least 400m of throw, so I know it is good for at least that far. The good thing is that Battery Junction has it on sale right now for $150.
Unfortunately, the TM36Lite is no longer on sale and lists at $390 now. But boy what a light!
Another Nitecore to look at would be the TM06. 3800 lumens on turbo, 1500 on high, and a rated throw of 334 meters. It is very compact for its capabilities, and is currently on sale for $200. If I didn't have my TM11, I would be buying this one.

Illumination Supply also has the 3800 lumen version of the TM26 on sale for $199. Create an account, and you'll see the discounted price.

I've got the TM06, TM15, TM26 and TM36. The TM36 is the furthest throwing LED light made in stock form. The TM06 fits in a coat pocket, but between the TM06and the TM26, I'd take the TM26.

I believe the Illumination suppy is now selling the 2015 4000 lumen TM26 for the same price.

I'd recommend you look at a vinh light. I have his K50vn which provides 1500 lumens but about 450 kcd of throw (according to selfbuilts sample, I've seen several measured beyond this as well). It's 4 x 18650 and has integrated charging which is very useful because I love having a topped off light and removing 4 x 18650 everytime you charge is a bit of work. He has some other models which provide more output (lumens) and a bit less (but still very high) amounts of throw. There is also the Tk61vn which outthrows the K50vn but gives up integrated charging and the control ring UI.
