Thrunite TN42

[DBCstm]

I just pre-ordered the TN42 as it was more than I could resist. Wondering if I'll be able to tweak it a bit? I've built a Convoy L2 with led4power LD-2 driver modified to run the 12V XHP-35 and saw 3.13A draw with 2987 lumens, the reflector is considerably smaller than this one and as such yields 232Kcd. Point being, Thrunite is running the 12V emitter well inside the safe zone to get 2000 lumens so it should be pretty efficient and the heat well controlled. Might have found a light I'll leave in stock form for a change!
Sept 20th is said to be the date of release, so it won't be too terribly long...

"How does the overall quality of the bigger Thrunite lights compare to the Fenix TK75 or Acebeam K60/K70?"

Better than either of those IMHO

I can see 700-800kcd from this with some more current

It looks like a really interesting light! My concern about it is how the side switch is designed, since the light does not have any lockout mode. Is the switch protruding or recessed? Is there a possibility for accidental activation?

Yes,,,you have a good memory! For the most part I run ALL my lights on turbo until heat is a factor or step down. Most of my lights are modded by Vinh,,,,CAPO my Siberian demands the highest output so he can see his prey from 500 yards away! :twothumbs

I fully agree with Capolini! If there is a turbomode, it is supposed to be used as often and long as possible, with as little stepdown as possible! Turbomode all the way!

Great. Thank you.

The TN42 will be my first Thrunite...looking forward to it.

Where does this end....
In the future you put your light on and the back of your head light's up :laughing:

Does Thrunite also come with a super TN 41 with 4x XHP35 HI LEDs. I like a super flooder/ good thrower combination :naughty:

You have to wait for at least a freaking 20 days, the horror. There must be someone who already gets this light for a review. I can't wait that long....

OMG I wished I never saw this TN40vn light. Only $380 for the head, so you buy half a flashlight

You can get the handle part for $80 or complement it with a tn36UTvn and have a 13,000lm flood monster , then share the handle

You guys wanting the Neutral or Cool white?

 

[Flight_Deck]

Curse you ThruNite!!!

I'm a sucker for these throw monsters/white laser beams. I preordered one directly from ThruNite, and will report the comparison against an OLight SR95S-UT and AceBeam K70 ASAP.

Cheers,
John C.

P.S. - It continues to be a GREAT time to be a flashaholic!

 

[Flight_Deck]

Am I the only one that finds a "0.80 lumen" firefly mode on a throw monster like this kinda silly?

no, your not alone. (start sarcasm) why not throw in a diffuser for people who like flood too? (end sarcasm).

Good one! :twothumbs

Did you use the 10% off coupon code?

 

[Flight_Deck]

Did you use the 10% off coupon code?

Yes sir!

I know CW gives more bright light , but I prefer NW. The 12-15% less overall brightness difference is almost not noticeable for the eyes.

For this light it is only 10% or do you have another coupon code.

Total order amount $0 - $299:
Coupon code: THRUNITE

Percentage off: 5%



Total order above $300:
Coupon code: VIP

Percentage off: 10%

 

[seery]

Yes sir!

Awesome. Eagerly awaiting your side by side comparison to the K70.

True. It'll be a hard choice.

Nope. Just the 10%.

If someone has one better, hopefully they will share it.
