Where can the neutral white variants of these lights be ordered? Confused.

And now they jacked up the price.
The SRT3 is a nice light, but it is a whole different interface (i.e. clicky switch with continuously-variable control ring) and feature set (colored modes, CR123A or AA, etc). It is also quite a bit larger than the 2A in 1xAA form - basically, the SRT3 in 1xAA form has almost exactly the same dimensions of the 2C in 1x18650 form. If you like the SRT3 tailcap clicky and control ring interface, I would also consider the Sunwayman V11R (with AA extender) - it is a bit more compact.I have been thinking of getting the Nitecore SRT3 as another EDC light. Would you recommend this new Thrunite Neutron 2A over the SRT3?
:laughing: More to the point, I think they tried to rush getting the website ordering up to coincide with the release of the review. I see some of the specs have been updated as well (i.e., they now list the 2xAA form as 800 lumens max). :shrug:Yup! Jut a day or so ago it was $49.95. . .
Guess SelfBuilt gave it too good of a review! :shrug:

I'm sure things will settle down soon, but at least it does now look like people can order the 2A (with desired tint) directly from Thrunite. Hopefully the 2C will be released soon as well.
Had a neutral white 2A in my cart...but talked myself into waiting! As usual, "I don't need another light" keeps going thru my head.
There was already a review two weeks ago, so that should'nt be the case. The release of the website completed the group buy of 2A and 2C and after that their website is used for the EU-Store.I think they tried to rush getting the website ordering up to coincide with the release of the review.
I agree - which is why I always write a specific User Interface section of the review, and spend a lot of time in the videos on it. The videos are especially helpful for this, as it is apparently difficult to write down an interface in words so that everyone understands it.I do not understand why people don´t write more about the UI's. It´s important stuff... :huh:
Yes, that is it exactly.This seems to be really impressive; more than 1,5 hours flat output at 240lm with a single 2550mAh Eneloop. Did I get it right?
That's right - the effective ability of a 18650 cell to do work is typically at least 3x that of a NiMH cell.generally a 18650 contains 3x watt of a nimh... right? because a 2500mah x 1,2v is 3watt total. a comparable 2600mah 18650 x3,6v is 9,3watt
There is not really much point in trying to understand/estimate runtime differences between specs - especially with such different types of cells. There are a lot of factors play here. Certainly, efficiency of the circuit at different input voltages plays a role. Also relevant is how the battery chemistry responds, especially under hi vs lo current draws. And not least of which is the regulation pattern, especially as the cells fall out of regulation. Recall that ANSI FL-1 runtime measures are given to 10% initial output, which favours things that have a slow drop-off at the low end (as opposed to an abrupt shut-down).IS THE DIFFERENcE OF ABOUT 1 hours MORE (with 18650) given by the higher efficiency of the led(or driver circuit) ah higher voltage ?? ( 3,6v instead 1,2).
