Wow, brighter than the MM15 on ceiling bounce. Definitely getting it since its just a little longer than the MM15.

The TN36 clearly is brighter than the MM15. Maybe 5,500-6,000 lumens. :eek:oo:.

I feel like there is no way I could buy and use one of these in an urban area... You can't point it down the street and still not light up every house window to the right and left of you! :)

Is there a price estimate?
I only know a price for european customers:

199.95 EUR (Amazon) and 169.95 EUR and limited number for TLF-group buy only.
Perhaps price for us-flashies will be $199.

Decent pricing, if these numbers are correct.
Do wonder why there aren't that many CPF-group buy actions, as there're at TLF. :thinking:

To me it looks like a Niwalker MM15 X Fenix LD60.

This.

4 cells, but disappointed they designed it to use a battery carrier.

To me, conformal-internal battery wells such as the EagleTac GX/SX/MX series, Fenix LD60, Olight SR52 etc. are state of the art.

I read from some reviewer it was the guy who does "ReviewtheLight" said by using battery carriers make the torches(flash light) lighter. I am not sure about this, maybe someone can confirm this or bust it.

Could be. I think the other primary reason though is cost of design and manufacture. It's more expensive to design & custom machine the flashlight body that holds 2/3/4 batteries of specific size in individual wells, with a conformal-contact tail cap, rather than having just a hollow body tube into which inserts a battery carrier.

Re: *new* Thrunite TN36 - mini TN30

I prefer a batteriecarrier anytime, especially in lamps with higher energyconsumption. Ever tried to swap 4 individual batteries in a dark, rainy, cold, .... situation?

I carry to all my lamps with a carrier just a spare carrier already filled with batteries in a small holster and it´s a 1-2-3 sec. job changing them

Re: *new* Thrunite TN36 - mini TN30

Is the MK-R sort of a middle man between the XM-L2 and the MT-G? I know there is no cool white MT-G being used in lights.


Why are there only warmer colours in MT-G type LEDs?

Why can't they make a Cool White version?

I have been looking at the Niwalker MM15 and the later model but this looks even better!

I think maybe this TN36 is not really a TN series light, maybe they need a new ID for flooders only.
