    Pros & Cons - Maxtoch vs Olight Javelot (Spotlight)

    Investing in a new light for spotlighting, the p30 nitecore is not cutting it.

    It doesn't need to be ultra compact, realistically only shooting out to 200m but would like to be able to pick deer out to 500m.

    Anyone with any experience with the lights below? Thoughts? Pros/Cons?

    Maxtoch 2X Shooter 3 Beam Torch Kit or single beam

    Or

    Olight Javelot

    or

    Maxtoch XPRO Hunter High Beam

    My Maxtoch 2X shooter picks out deer to 1km easy. Keep them on the edge of the beam and they will be less skittish. The batteries seem to last a long time, and a couple of spares weigh bugger all. Mines been going faultlessly for must be 5 years now.

    Had a bloody good run out of my olight for the last 4 years, seen deer past 1k, runs all night. Would be absolutely perfect if it had abit wider beam but other than that I can't complain

    This model has now a new led which is so much better. Got the new M24 and 2X. The new M24 is a must if you run a scope attachment. Very good definition of animals in the light.

    Do the Olight Javelot and latest Maxtoch XPro both have heat shutdown from full to partial power after 6-9 minutes?
