CREE XM-L Thrower Flashlight Showdown

We recently looked at our selection of tactical lights with the CREE XM-L LED. This video features the throwers, the big brothers of the smaller tactical lights. We look at how the Fenix TK35, ThruNite Catapult v3, and Olight M3X compare against each other.

Er.... Why does the Olight even have a pocket clip!?

@QwertyQwaf Some people like to use them to attach to a belt.

The BC40 isnt an XM-L thrower?

[goingprepared]

@NWguy83 It wasn't out at the time and no, I wouldn't consider it a thrower.

@fourcentsable

Haha man I actually noticed that a long time ago when I tried it with my Sunwayman T20C

It def works but unfortunitly it doesn't seem to work so well with 10htz strobe works really good with 20 though.

@NWguy83

Yea man the BC40 is bad ass I love mine. It's bright as hell and lights up a big area.

Although marsh is actually right it's def not a super thrower but it will light up a biig area at once. Do you have one?

Best I've seen so far as with lights I have is slapping an asphyrical lens on the sst-50 with Two batteries robbed out of a laptop battery. laptops have 18650's soldered together. Thing punches out incredible and is the same size as these. Believe I tested one on a vid.haven't had much luck with buying rechargable batteries is why I went to the laptop batts.

Bought a TK35 from Going Gear... Great service from them and FANTASTIC light. Love the smaller form factor... and actually I like that it is less focused. Gives a nice perimeter illumination when out camping. Unless you have very specific need for 200yard throw the TK35 is more than enough. I also liked the 2 button arrangement. Easy to use with gloves on. I often leave it in its holster. You can work the switches even when it is in the holster.
