It’s never easy to combine a powerful flashlight, whilst keeping the size EDC friendly. But here Thrunite have managed to do that and provide a big range of 399 metres too.
It has 5 levels of output from the top 3080 lumens right down to the firefly 1 lumen mode, with a strobe rated to 2500 lumens.
A 21700 rechargeable battery is supplied, and charged via USB-C on the flashlight body. With a screw down cover protecting the charging port it prevents dirt and water from entering too. Run times are an impressive 57 hours at the low 45 lumens mode.
A fine knurled body has excellent grip wet and dry conditions, it comes with a two way stainless steel clip for a secure pocket carry.
Fine materials are used in construction with aero grade AL 6061-T6 aluminum alloy body, type III hardened anodising for improved damage and wear resistance, and a coated toughened glass cover with improved light transmission.
It’s been tested to IPX8 for up to 2 metres submersion, and a drop test pass at 1.5 metres. Rugged and durable is the name here, and this tactical flashlight is built to last.
Very pocket friendly in size, it’s 144.5mm x 29mm x 30.8mm, and a weight of just 110g (without the battery).
Sliding Lock switch with longer range beam of 399 metres
Thrunite are using a smooth reflector which improves beam output and focus, and a higher candeal of 39960cd means it can reach the range of 399 metres, a step above many tactical flashlights in this class.
Level spacing is well thought out, from the top 3080 lumens Turbo, a high of 1100 lumens, medium is 210, low 45 lumens and finally the well known firefly mode of just 1 lumen. Strobe is present too and perfect for emergencies or to dazzle an attacker.
One of the best features of this flashlight is the clever and very useful sliding switch. This mechanical switch lets users slide it to lock the flashlight securely and prevent any accidental activation.
A tactical style tail switch with dual buttons, is rapid in operation, and gives quick access to momentary, Turbo and strobe modes. This flashlight has a great appeal for EDC users who want a powerful light, but also require a good range.
