Thrunite TN42vn 2018 - Best Rounded Thrower R

[b8llzblue]

Dang the tn42vn90 is a straight beast! It lights things up even at 1 mile away. I wish I can see a regular tn42vn vs tn42vn90 comparison beam shot.
I want to upgrade so bad. But i would needa see beamshots first.
And that signature is just wicked looking! Looking better each and every time.

So yeah...Give me some time...

If anyone have a light that is not on this list please send them to me for the battle ;-)

 

[b8llzblue]

That's a nice list of contenders you got there. Real looking forward to the show down.

Wow! Sounds like this upcoming video will rival the 3-part battle of throwers from a couple of years ago! Can't wait!

Looks like decent spill AND killer throw!

The beam truly is twice the size of the GT. At distance it performs like a high output thrower... with teeth.

Can you do beam shot side-by-side with the GT , please.

I just gotten this going to hv a beam at the forest when night falls

Couldn't really pull that off. Here's what I could do...

Beam width comparison: BLF GT (stock) and TN42vn90

Is that Shorty Pants ( or what ever his name was) You didn't cut his tree down--Did you

Haha yep Shorty Pants is right! He's a she though... but yes her tree still stands. :laughing:

Good grief, Steve! Those shots really tell the tale. Wouldn't expect anything less from a photographer. The TN42vn90 hot spot is HUGE!!!

 

[SKV89]

The TN42vn90 with a beam that much larger than the 35HI in the GT, can it really reach 1MCD? That is almost matching the stock GT. In your pictures, the GT beam seems more intense but of course pictures can be deceiving especially if autoexposure is on.

Yes. Hotspot is bigger than xhp35. This light actually lift up 1.1 miles or 1700 meters.

 

[MAD777]

The center of both hot spots against the bricks looks equally good intense.

 

[wimmer21]

I think Vinh measured the stock GT at 1.2mcd... some got 1.1 (saubluster) but most were closer to 1.3 (vesture of blood)... while my TN42vn90 was measured at 1.03mcd.

My eyes can hardly tell any difference in throw between the two (tower shots or otherwise), but if the GT's beam is more intense I would say no more than a few hundred thousand candela, so I would say Vinh's measurements are legit. The TN42vn90's massive increase in lumen output, compared to the stock GT, IS quite obvious.

I'm a good sports shooter bro but I just used a cell phone with flash turned off for the beam shots.

It's hard to really tell even with top of the line cell phone cameras. But yeah like I wrote above the GT is maybe slightly more intense, but I don't think any more than the advertised measurements claim.

EDIT: after closer inspection yes I do see that the hot spot of the GT appears to be more intense in the first comparison photo but I just went back out to the same spot with both lights and I can not see that difference. The blown out center spot in the GT pic DOES NOT look that way in real life. Both light up my water tower at 1+ miles anyway so I have no complaints... other than maybe beam temperature. I might prefer NW.

Awesome pics steve:rock:

Careful these shots are not exposed with the same shutter speed. The GT shot is ISO1250 / f1.7 / 1/6.6s while the TN42vn90 is ISO1250 / f1.7 / 1/10s. So the vn90 would be even brighter in comparison (by 50%). Check the brightness of the sky, it would have matched if it was the same shutter speed.

Where are you getting the info on shutter speed for those photos?

There's EXIF data attached to the jpeg. You can get an 'EXIF' plugin for your favorite browser to readout the data, if there's data attached.
