ThruNite TH-10 Headlamp 1*18650

The new Thrunite TH-10 headlamp is in production. It will be available in cool and neutral white. Some impressions of a pre-production prototype:

▪ weight: 85 g w/o battery, headband 45 g
▪ seize: 77,8 * 52,7 * 29 * 24 mm (l * d * Ø head * Ø body)
▪ 5 brightness leves + hidden S.O.S
▪ light orange peel reflector
▪ elektr. reverse polarity protection
▪ voltage range: 2.7 - 12 V (1*18650 / 2*18350/16340/CR123A)
▪ discharge protection

my measurements:
▪ current (1*18650): 1/ 25/ 350/ 1.450/ 2.700 mA (Firefly/ Low/ Mid/ High/ Turbo)
▪ output ca. 700 Lumen (2*18350) / 660 Lumen (1*18650) for neutral white version
▪ beam distance: 150 m / 5.525 cd (18650) or 161 m / 6.500 cd (2*18350)

Tailcap on both ends?? Never saw that before.

Looks very prototype, never mind heavy!

Looks like the jetbeam hc20http://budgetlightforum.com/node/37132

Has anybody bought one of these yet? I hope selfbuilt does a review on this.

I just got one last week and it's my favorite headlamp at the moment. Yes it's heavier than a Zebralight headlamp but not as heavy as it looks. Heat transfer it fantastic and the whole light heats up quite evenly. Output is great and it throws very well. Build quality is fantastic. I like this design for headlamps because it's easy to tilt to the needed angle and the head strap is very comfortable and secure.

Does the headband say "THRUINTE"?

Yes it does. Just like in the pics.

Correction...I didn't even catch that in the pic or in your typing.

No, it is spelled correctly on the real headband you get - "Thrunite"

It's misspelled in the OP pics.

Not on the TN website, though:

LOL I was going to say that. Or made by some high school kid in shop class.

I didn't catch the misspelling in those photos or typed in the other post. The headband comes with the correct spelling. LOL!

The difference between the two is on the low end settings. The JB low is at 70 lumen which honestly is to bright for some applications (like reading a map). The Thrunite has two settings below that, firefly at 0.3 and then low with is at 10 (if I am remembering correctly). This is now on my list of lights that I want.

I received my TH 10 yesterday and i like it. It´s the NW version. It´s not bulky or heavy in my opinion. However, one thing that i noticed is that my light appears to lack the turbo mode. When running it on 2xRCR 123 i manage to activate the turbo mode by double clicking, but when running it with a fully charged 1x18650 3400 mAh 3,7V battery, i can´t activate turbo mode! I can only activate high mode. I´ve tried with several 18650 batteries.

Is my light defective? :thinking: Can you activate turbo while running it on 1x18650 battery?

i have no problem activating turbo mode on mine with any cell I've tried. If you really can't get it working it might be defective. How many 18650 cells have you tried? Just the one? If you have others, try a different make cell before filing an RMA with ThruNite. If you bought it from Amazon just do an exchange.

I hate to say, but this the second or third different light that has had an issue with Turbo from TN I've read in last little while here on CPF.
I wonder if this more common with them then realized.
Sorry don't mean to sound negative on your issue friend.

I´ve tried a Xtar 18650 3400mAh, an Olight 18560 3400mAh and an Eagletac 18650 3400mAh, but it will not enter turbo mode on either of these batteries.

Then it looks like my light is defective. I´ve been waiting for a reply from ThruNite to hear what they have to say about the issue.

I cannot find this light on amazon, but several people have made comments indicating that it is there. Can somebody find a link (either post it or by PM)? Thanks

I baught my light via Ebay, but here you go:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WWNI85W/?tag=cpf0b6-20

Now i received a reply from ThruNite. The light is defective an i have now sent it back for replacement. I hope that the new light that i will receive will work so that i can access the turbo mode using 18650 batteries.


Here is a comparison picture of the ThruNite TH10 and a light in similar size, the Crelant CH10.

The ThruNite Th10 weighs including strap and a 18650 batteri 180 grams. The Crelant CH10 weighs including strap and a 18650 battery 166 grams.

This thread has been around for several months and no one bothered to ask why Thrunite is charging a $6 premium to buy cool white instead of warm white? I'm honestly shocked I am the first person to ask this.

Is this a pure spot?
