I Have Had Some Guys Ask Me About Lights That Have Super Beam Throw

Ok I will try and help since I have been getting a few questions about bright lights that can throw super beams a long way.  I'll offer some suggestions.

http://cgi.ebay.com/T6-1600-Lumens-6x-CREE-Q5-LED-Torch-Flashlight-Holster-/260311318211?pt=US_Flashlights&hash=item3c9bc37ec3

This is probably without question still my brightest light.  I can shine it on my neighbors barn behind me which is a good 400yds and it still lights the side of the barn.  Now it doesn't light it up brightly, but you can plainly see the barn and the electric pole that your eyes couldn't see otherwise.  It actually can shine a beam a little farther than this I do believe.  I can still see behind the barn a ways.  Now that is with the extra extension tube added.  

Another good beam thrower should be this one.  I don't have one of these, but I hear it throws a great beam and was recommended to me by Zack on a flashlight forum.

Another good one and probably one of the best concentrated beam throwers is the ThruNite Catapult V3.  Now it's not cheap, but this light is said to be a great choice for search and rescue.  And it's built extremely well.

EagleTac MCC4 single XM-L T6 throws a very nice concentrated beam.  More expensive, but a very nice light.

There is a guy on ebay that I believe sells them cheaper but don't know for sure what version he has.  I think it's the single XM-L though.

And if you want a super bright beam thrower I have heard great things about the Fenix TK70.  But it's a pretty big hefty light that takes 4 D cell batteries.

Now you can do some searching and may find these lights cheaper.

And this one may not throw quite as concentrated beam as some of the others, but for $25 it's a steal.  It still can throw a beam of light 400yds which is amazing for such a small light less that 6" in length and only uses 1 18650 battery.  I love this light.

That's probably the best deal on ebay right now.  That's who I bought mine from.  He's very fast.  

Here's a pretty good youtube video on that KEYGOS KE5 XM-L T6 light.
