Thrunite TC20vn - Best Compact 26650 R

[brightnorm]

"Low voltage protection:
Whenever the battery falls below 3V under load, brightness is reduced (about half). The reduced load usually brings up the voltage a bit. When it drops below 3V again, brightness is halved again - and so on, down to a very low level. It will not switch off and leave you in complete darkness though."

Any opinion on this battery?

If you want to have the absolute highest numbers with full battery you need the highest drain cell you can get like Golisi 4300 or iJoy 4300 for example. The rewrapped 5500mAh cells like the Shockli 5500 or Keeppower 6000 IMR will give you longer runtime at almost similar output. I don't know if the Orbtronic is a real 5500mAh cell.
I still haven't recieved my light, so I can't tell if it draws more than 20A on direct drive. If that's the case I would take the 4300 for sure.

Is the triple a Direct drive?

 

[LichtAn!]

VNX2 driver, so on 100% yes.

Here are some tests and comments about the Orbtronic 26650 battery. I just ordered the Golisi batteries. Thanks for the recommendation,

I got 5885mAh with my opus BT-C3100 from the same battery with a link that you provided.

Good cell

Not a clear photo but you can see it!

Current draw measured at the tailcap for the 3xSST-40:

Keeppower 6000 IMR: 16.8A
Golisi 4300: 19.7A

1 minute on turbo is OK, then it gets toasty in your hand. Really good stuff! Can't wait until it gets dark.

Edit: 5% ~0.4A, 15% ~2A, 50% ~7.5A, 70% ~11A. That's why I love modes, you actually know how long your light will last. Ban ramping UIs!

HD is quite impressive!!!

 

[MAD777]

That's a lot of lumens in a compact package! [emoji106]

Yes it is. Lots of lumen in a compact package. Lots of lumen on target with the optics too!

This light is a mini photon rocket made by the Pantheon himself, Vinh. It's the ThruNite TC20vn SST40 HD 7,500K + VNX2 Driver. It is a massive amount of lumens put on target too. Make sure you have a great high drain cell for this light such as an Orbtronic 4,350 mAh 47A/36A for max performance or Orbtronic 5,750 mAh 30A/22A for maximum runtimes with negligible lumen loss. This light makes no compromise, it's a true beast in a compact small package.

Nice.. from my experience and testing with lumen tube, this light is pushing out about 4000 lumen. Trust me. I know my number..

 

[WhitedragonBC]

Any thoughts on an XHP50.2 to trade some lumens for throw?

Re: Orbtronic 5,750 mAh 30A/22A for maximum runtimes with negligible lumen loss...

What do the run times look like?

Hmmm IDK. Oher than the X80vn I have not enjoyed the 50.2 in any lights I can recall at the moment. It seems the throw over output is not worth it to me yet.
