Thrunite tn40c or tn40s

I am planning to purchase one today and can't decide between the cool white version with the battery pack or the neutral white battery carrier version. There is only a $30 difference. I also am a neutral white guy but was thinking a cool white for max brightness, as this light wouldnt be used as much as my pop can lights. Thanks for any help

Tint, pack or no, price difference. That is a lot of variables to think about.

Try this: Close your eyes, think about one light, then think about the other light. Which one causes pulse rate to increase, visceral adrenaline spike? Buy that one.

Or: Assign a point value to each of the three variables. Denote how many points for each variable for each light, then add up the points and go with the light that has the most points.

Your first method would just lead me to buy both.

I use the second one quite often and it works.

Alright. I will give you my opinion... if you are going for the built in rechargeable battery pack, then go with tn40vn spec 1 or spec 2. If you like Battery carrier, buy a tn40s...

Ok thanks guys, i think i will go with the TN40s in neutral white while it's on sale this month. Now i just need to sell my TN42 to replace it
thanks

I'm always for flashlight without proprietary battery packs. So If I were you, I'll choose the tn40s..

P.S: why are you selling the TN42?

I guess mainly because i dont have a use for the distance this light can do, my uses are usually 300 yards or less

I ordered the tn40s on Nov 30, still waiting on it to ship. If you already own a charger and 18650 batteries then I would go with the tn40s. The tn40c states 6800mah, I like to match my cells and if I take the average mah then I get 13000mah using my own cells.

Tn40s is in pre order again...
For battery pack capacity: pay attention that they are 2S2P, so the capacity is 6800 mAh, but nominal tension is 7,4 V: the energy is the same.

That's disappointing as I was hoping to get longer run times over the factory thrunite pack.

I wonder how much longer before the tn40s ships? I think i will be happier with the nuetral white

Thrunite responded quickly to my th42 stock requested, but my tn40 email about shipping has not been answered.

Eva from thrunite responded and stated the ship date has been moved to Dec 18, sadly when I ordered they were in-stock per the website.

I Wish they would hurry and get these in stock, the waits killing me😥

I ordered a CW TN40S yesterday from thrunite.com,to benefit from the Christmas price reduction of 20%.They say that the lights will be available in one week or so.
By the way,what type of batteries are you going to use with the light?Flat top or button top?

I will use 3500mah button too protected as i already have them

Today,I've got an email from thrunite.com,saying the following.

"TN40S will be shipped out through Germany in one week,

The notification email will be sent to you once the order is shipped out".
I live in EU.

Same for me today the email for states it left Virginia on its way to me.

Amazon box from Thrunite just plopped on my front porch. :twothumbs
