Hi,
I've been off from flashlight collecting and this community for a while, so I need your advice for my next flashlight purchase.
I bought Thrunite TN12 (2016 edition) during the autumn of 2015. Don't let the number mislead you, it was released 2015. It's been a trustworthy companion and I've carried it almost every day for the last 4 years. Unfortunately I've dropped it so many times, the glass has finally broken. I cannot trust it to hold water which has been required a couple of times during the years. Also, I think the LED might have lost some of it's power. Is it possible?
It seems Thrunite have updated the LED in the model to XP-L and the version number is going in v6 already so some development has happened there.
So, my questions are
a) should I buy one more TN12
b) or can you recommend another model?
Requirements for recommendations:
- clicky tail switch
- neutral or warm light
- 18650 battery
- max output of ~1000 lm
- IP68
- 3-5 modes (incl. firefly mode)
- no PWM
- price < 80€
- compact size (= I should be able to carry it in my pocket)
Thank you!
Ps. Here's a picture of what happens to a flashlight if you carry it for 4 years in your pocket.
