ThruNite Neutron 2A (New)

[GordoJones88]

I hate clip-on clips and will probably not feel confident with one on my lights.

I think it's extremely likely that this type of clip-on clip will pop right off the light and poke somebody's eye out.

I got mine today and I like it. I used to buy some other brands more, but thrunite has came out with decent lights that seem more affordable. I really enjoyed my last 4-5 lights from their very much.

I love how this light has no buttong on the rear so candle mode works great. Thats a big plus for me

Did you order directly from Thrunite? They still have an ETA of 9/1 on their website. What happened to that group buy?

 

[GordoJones88]

It's been available on Amazon for a week.
You can get it in 2 days.

 

[tigerfromsiberia]

Thanks, just saw that today.

Okay so am I understanding this right? You can achieve the ~800-ish setting for just a few minutes then it is more like 200 for the rest of the way?

How many minutes does that initial turbo sustain before massively dropping off to whatever lumen output it levels off too?

At 4 mins according to Selfbuilt in post #8.

You can bump it right back into Turbo if you still need the extra brightness.
Obviously stop if the light gets really hot to hold.
Here is a chart that shows it will go right back up to full Turbo.

Wow. That actually is really impressive then. I honestly don't care about this light as much as it indicates what is to come possibly in the future for this glorious flashlight world.

If you had told me this would be possible with 2 aa's 4 years ago I would have scoffed in your face!

This will be my next light! I love the Archer 1A and 2A, and this looks even better! I also prefer larger, more robust lights and am not into the "light and thin" stuff!!! ;p).

So it comes with a holster, but based on the pictures on Amazon, it looks like the holster is setup for the 1xAA configuration and not the 2xAA configuration. . .

What an impressive light! This is definitely on my to-buy list. Good thing i have a lot of spare eneloops.

Well. I just got mine. I would love to tell you that my first impressions of the light blew me away, but, most of the time when I hit the power button, it does not power on. It came on once, and then blinked off when I tried to put it in turbo mode. The other time I was able to get it to turn on, I tried putting it in firefly mode, and it has not turned on since. :shakehead. I have tried about 5 different batteries. NIMH, lithium, NIZN, and alkalines. I am on a roll buying defective items lately. After going years without buying a bad item right out of the box, I have now bought about 6 items in the last couple of months that have either been DOA, or just not 100%. Guess I will be returning it to Amazon!

Where have you heard other problems with it? I would be interested in seeing if others had the same problem I am having. If there is a lot of complaints on this model, I may just get a refund on it. I cannot find any issues with it doing a Google search.

I was interested in this light as well, but am waiting to see if these issues are adequately addressed by Thrunite.

[mikekoz]

Thank you. That sounds like the same problem I am having.

This would be a nice light if it had a good old fashion tail clickie and changed modes by twisting the head but with a hard to find electronic side switch that don't work reliably, I'll pass on this one.
