Catapult V6 Catapult-V6

A dedicated thrower that reaches out to 700 meters at a price point that makes competitors nervous. The Catapult V6 uses a large deep reflector with a Luminus SFT70 LED to produce a tightly focused beam with 116,000 candela, visible as a defined hotspot at extreme distances. Despite the throw-focused design, it still provides useful spill light for navigation. USB-C charging and a 21700 battery keep runtime practical. At around $50, this is one of the best performance-per-dollar throwers you can buy.
