Looks interesting!

Although, I am a little confused as to why the Max Lumens are listed as both 120, and then 300 further down the page.
Probably one of Thrunite's common typos.

Interesting.

Also, just noticed this...Which is even more interesting IMO, and max output listed as 300 lumens.

Might be interested in a Ti5T. Not a fan of the mode spacing again but starting on low is good.

I recently picked up a Ti4, and I have mixed feelings about it. Personally, I find the output levels to be very good, but it has a nasty habit of activating in my pocket when I am carrying it. I also like that it starts on low.

Been searching for a forward clicky aaa for a while now. Thank you for the post.

I'm afraid I'll have to buy that.

Ahhh someone please KILL the STROBE once and for all

Still looks pretty nice. UI is a little different but may be OK. That 10sec reset though, I dunno

The ten second memory function on the Ti4 is actually rather annoying, IMO. I wish it would just revert to low mode again, as it's more predictable and easier to work with.

No reversible clip !! that's sad for an edc atleast a magnet could have been incorporated.
I don't see any improvement in runtimes either and more modes are always welcome in any format.I think the design is also so ordinary .Eventhough welcomes the clicky switch.But what's the point of having momentary without memory.Also if this can tailstand or not??.
Anyways from the picture I think if the tailcap can be unscrewed the clip can be detatched and could be installed between the head and barrell(may be it requires to remove some anodization at head end).
Altogether it is a failed attempt to upgrade a more useful ti3.imo!

Also since prices are also hiked I expected something useful upgrades!

that's just a tweaked preon

have a look at their website and you might even find some olight batons in there. not to mention the tweaked acebeams that have been their mainstay for quite some time now

I literally just broke the pocket clip on my Ti4. Went for a bike ride, got home and it had bent out of shape, and I can't get it back into shape and back onto the tailcap. This Ti5 looks to share the same pocket clip. What a shame.

"strobe" :shakehead

Depends on the UI though, if it is too easy to activate, it will make a terrible light for me.

For anybody that cares, I was able to fix the pocket clip on my Ti4 when I realized I had to remove the o-ring first, but I'm still a little disappointed it became so misshapen so easily. It's not my favourite pocket clip design, so I'm a little sketched out seeing it on the Ti5

Is it just me or is this basically a Ti3 with a clicky, slightly longer size, and better clip?

I think they took the Ti4 platform and shrunk that down, to be honest.

(yes, appears to be a 1×AAA Ti4)

if anyone has general EDC observations or a brief review of the Ti5, would be appreciated.

seems like a possible option for those who seek a non-twisty 1×AAA keychain size light

Output with NiMH & 10440 seem identical to Ti3 ..no split ring attachments point...can be used as a twisty ..
