You don ' t need 2500 lumens . You need a tightly focused beam to fight the sun or look down shafts . The C 8 would meet that . One light to consider is the justreleased Nitecore P 30 . 619 meters throw for $ 65 . Maybe the the Olight SR 52 UTSR 52 UTdpB 0145 IX 3 FG ? Linking to Amazon there because $ 78 for that light seems like an amazing deal . Though it is also $ 85 down from $ 120 f l a s h l i g h t s s a f etyandselfdefenseolightsr 52 utintimidator on their official store so maybe there is something I don ' t know . It is 63 mm at the bezel but features USB charging and probably has a UI you will like and 810 meters throw . Those are the two best throwers that meet your size requirement under $ 100 . <| sep |> Might have raised some eyebrows paying a middle school player
