I just need your opinion, got one and the mid-level which is suppose to be 400+ lumens is not even close to 400 lumens, I have a Klarus XT10 to compare with.

I wish i read turbobb's review before i made the purchase:( which seems to have the same issue and thrunite seems to have left him hanging already.:scowl:

My question is does anyone think this issue warrants a replacement at least from where i purchased the light:confused:

Thanks in advance everyone.

what do you mean mid-level ?

there are 2 settings

high, and the 2nd setting which you can program and set from [firefly to bright or strobe]

does it not ramp from firefly to strobe when you go into programming mode ?

What are you talking about?:thinking: I'm talking about the TN11s

Low is 9lm, Mid: 424lm and High: 830lm

Here is my Klarus XT10 at high which is at 470lm

When I looked up the operation of the TN11 it does only have 2 modes as indicated above. One high and one programmable. Selfbuilt has a review on YouTube of the operation.

OK I thought you was referring to the TN11. Thrunite should make it right with you if you contact them. I had a bad TN31 and they sent me a new one. It did take a while though, a couple weeks.

The two TN11S that I have purchased have the same issues as well.

Probably a design oversight. It doesn't bother me, however.

That's all I need to hear. Way to go Thrunite! I just Thru-away $100.

I wonder if Supbeam's L25s have the same issue?

I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion you threw $100.00 away. You still have on helluva bright light. Brightest level is where it's at anyhow. I'll buy it from you right now if you're interested. At a discount though of course.

I just got word from thrunite that the specs they released were incorrect. According to Thrunite on a single 18650 L: 11 M: 55 and H: 650 lumens.

I already talk to the seller and agreed I can exchange the light. I was planning to go with a Klarus XT 11 but since the don't have it I'm thinking of the Eagletac D25LC or SWM T20CS.
