This powerful longer range weapon light from Thrunite is surprisingly affordable, yet doesn’t compromise on performance.
With an option for Neutral and Cool White emitters, the Ratel can reach as far as 316 metres (at 1635 lumens), making it an ideal choice for those who need a more powerful longer range offering.
Using a standard MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) rail for wide mounting compatibility.The Thrunite is powered by an included rechargeable 18650 battery (capacity 3400mAh), USB-C charging integrated into the body, and is operated via the included remote trigger.
High build quality is important for any weapon light for long term usage, and the Ratel features a tough Type III hardened aluminum body material and is rated to IPX8 for water/dust resistance (2 metres), and it is also shock proof (drop tested to 1.5 metres).
It’s size is 127.5mm x x 26mm x 36mm. Weight is 130g without the battery.
Powerful long range beam of 316 metres
Thrunite are using a custom smooth reflector designed to give a superior beam at both longer distances and up close. With a Candela of 25000cd it’s beam is mixed to give an effective blend of a hot spot and some spill.
From the top output of 1635 lumens, effective heat management controls the output, which drops down to 537 lumens (140 seconds), and it can continue to run for 120 minutes.
Charging is in the light and is done with a USB C port (with a protective cover to avoid dirt/debris entering). An LED indicator shows you when the battery is charging and when it is completed. As usual you have reverse polarity protection to ensure safe operation.
The push and lock screw mechanism makes fitting the light to the mount simple and secure. Once it’s in place you can tighten it up.
Also included are 2 spare O rings, a spare port cover, charging cable and the remote trigger attaches to the tail cap. This gives you control over the light output, and it features a momentary mode.
Strong construction thanks to the aluminum alloy body, with heat treat glass cover and anti reflective coatings, fully water/dust resistant with it's IPX8 rating, the Thrunite Ratel is a great value option for users who want a reliable cost effective weapon light.
