This is just what I was looking for. I know some people in the flashlight hobby world (apparently this is a real thing, and I don't mean that in a bad way) think long thrower flashlights have minimal to no practical use. I've seen them arguing in forums, reddit and on YouTube about this very thing "they're only good for taking fancy beamshots". Fortunately, they're wrong. As someone in security, this thing is amazing. I can search across our entire parking lot at night for cars that shouldn't be there. I can see inside the cars, and flash the light a couple times to give whoever is there a hint to leave as it lights up the interior quite nicely. It also is amazing for scanning the property line and scaring off animals. All of the distance claims by the manufacturer's seem to be accurate. I see people giving this flashlight a poor review because it's not great for lighting up their garage, porch or whatever; please read and understand the product information/description, this flashlight is NOT for that kind of usage.
