Yea definitely not an ideal thrower. M24 would be more suited in that regard. Is this thread only for guys mountable flashlights?

Not at all. It's for anything useful for illumination, from walking, to tent, to spotting and shooting. There are plenty of uses for all sorts of torches and headlamps.

I have one of these, yes heavy and not really a good option for a de-dome (4x led chip). But FAAAAAAAAAAA it trows out some lumens! Can light up a whole tree at once. Heavy but ok for 2-3 hours of hauling around a farm. Good for possums and rabbits within .22 or shot gun range. Not a lot of throw (less than half the Maxtorch) so wouldn't be my choice for deer or rabbits at long range.

That looks like a lot of light. For 22 range it is hard to go past a little C8 with an XM-L2 of some sort. Good for weedy little cripples like me.

Are interchangeable, coloured lens available for the maxtochs ?

I think the colours (Green and red) are not coloured lenses, but rather the colour of the LED emmitter

Hmmm. Don't want to splash out big money just to get different colour options.

Wasn't impressed that much with either colour option.

Brought a set of camera filters of trade me and taped he red one on the front. Can't remember the measurements but I got the one that's a few mm too big so lots of insulation tape needed!

Think I will dig out the Sharpies
