Thread: New Maxtoch Torch

This new Maxtoch M24 Sniper is a beauty. Very well made light. After disassembling and testing gadgetman and I both gave it 10/10.

It is specifically designed by kiwi boys as an all-purpose hunter light and incorporates some high tech electronic features. It is light at 270gms and ideal for both scope mounting or handheld spottie. Stock they produce 83,000 lux (hotspot intensity) with a range of 580 meters, and dedomed they produce 173k lux with 840m. No trouble lighting up a cream house on the farm at 1 kilometer with these figures. We did NOT design it as a pencil beam - we wanted a beam with both long distance plus ability to scan paddocks in seconds - which it does.

Takes two rechargeable 18650 batts - use high quality ones like panasonic 3100s for max runtime. They are regulated unlike the LL torches and do not just run down with diminishing light over a couple of hours. On full continuous power they will last 100 minutes on high - with no light dimming over that time. Med is still powerful, great for possums, and med and lo will give umpteen hours of runtime.

They are designed with mode memory so always come back on in last mode used - effectively an on/off in high or med etc. Build quality, lens quality, reflector etc excellent, and they come in a very nice canvas carry bag, spare tail switch, spare O-rings and lanyard. They have been under development for many months and if you go to this link you can do a catch up by reading just the last 2-3 pages:

FishnHunt - New Zealands Famous Hunting and Fishing Forum Since 1995 - Maxtoch SN6X-2 upgrade soon....

and for best batts, mounts, chargers etc read this sticky:

FishnHunt - New Zealands Famous Hunting and Fishing Forum Since 1995 - Maxtoch SN6X-2 upgrade soon....

Having seen both, this is a much better proposition than any of the LL range. It has more advanced electronics, much better performance and at a fraction of the price. The first Maxtoch occasionally gave tailcap switch issues but the last 2 models have been very good. Gadget and I have been playing with the new M24 sample, dedomed it, and its an absolute beauty. M24 is about $80NZ delivered.

Note: Maxtoch also produce a bigger heavier 440gm light - the SN6X-2X. This also now incorporates our recommended electronic upgrades and pumps out 120-125k lux standard, and an expected stonking 250k lux dedomed. That is huge power - ideal as a truck spottie etc. Again just $90-95NZ delivered.

Best hunting lights I've seen in terms of all-purpose capability (we did not want just pencil beam), value and performance. Get them!

PS - gadgetman, myself and the other kiwi boys help them design the gear for fun - not profit.


Yes- as gadget says watch out for knock-oofs. Maxtoch becoming a market leader for well priced performance lights and there are outfits trying to rip them off. This $37 light proneshooter mentions is not a maxtoch - God knows what it is - so take care:
