Anybody seen this new light Thrunite just released, the TN42? Claimed range of 1550m and 600750lux! A real beast!

@ keeping it light
How far does that convoy throw??? Never saw any numbers on it.my guess is 100/150Kcd.
Interesting to see this new light from Thrunite, 1500mt throw is insane. I personally would have liked to see it come with user replaceable batteries but else this light looks similar to TN40.
WOW! That must be a real monster thrower.
A must have for me.
But i don't like, the strobe, is NOT at full power 2000 lumens, but only at 680 lumens.
For the TN42,I wonder what the step down on turbo is? I guess I will have to wait for a review from SB or others. Basing on the other TN lights I had I am guessing it will manage heat pretty well. I forget what my TN32 was,,,,,I was able to step it back up again w/ no problem w/ heat not being an issue for the duration of the battery charge. Only exception would be very warm summer evenings,like this summer!
Yes i hope someone can report the regulation and stepdown on the highest mode.
As you point out the original handles heat very well with its physical mass and held a pretty flat regulation after the 10% stepdown and would expect Thrunite to carry over the same behaviour.
The TN 42 with the xhp35 hi at 2000 lumens, larger surface area, should use less overall wattage [compared to the tn 32 at 6 amps] and in turn be more efficient, cooler running light with massive candella.
Lets say it steps down up to 15% from start, then it will still throw 510kcd and have 1700 lumens = very impressive.
Capolini i still remember you reporting your impressions on you newest lights, running them on full bore for one hour, which was un biased real world usage and a valuable gauge on reliability for me. Even though you had a hiccup with your first tn generally the whole tn series has been super reliable. [mine perfect]
The new ui in single button form appeals also, as i do not need two hands or swap grip to turn it on/off or change modes. Looks good Thrunite, keep them coming.
.Very nice, this is what i have been waiting for. My tn32 has served me well and still is very impressive at 200kcd but this is in a different league.
A stock light that has 2000 lumens, 600kcd that i can use my 18650,s in and cost $200. Good to see manufacturers use the new cree xhp35 to its potential and the performance matchs or exceeds much more expensive and overdriven xml based lights that are less efficient and run too hot.
Sure am glad i did not order the acebeam k70 in haste.
