PD68 Review: Thrunite TN4A HI - 4*AA Light

Anyone knows what payment methods accepted at their official store (http://www.thrunite.com/) ?
Do they accept paypal?

They do accept paypal on their website

wow, thanks man for the quick reply :slight_smile:

I have this and I like it. It’s supposed to the max output king in its class (4xAA soda can format) and it runs well with Eneloops.

What I also like about this light, is that it maintains max output really well (Selfbuilt’s review) until batteries are depleted. Moonlight mode, 15 lumens, 139 lumens…; really nice spacing as well for everyday use.

Dang, nice gimme! I picked up the V4A and really like it, but this looks a step above. I am not sure about that ui, would love to memorize moonlight mode. I am very interested in the V3 1A with a neutral white emitter.

I’ve had this light since it came out this one and the nw version. Just traded the nw one. I won’t get rid of the cw one. This is a great and tough light. Its not very cool like 1a but thrunite is known for that. My battery indicator works flawlessly and very accurate. But my nihm are only 6 months old.
The run times are pretty accurate about 1 hour on turbo. If you try to run turbo on alkalines. 15-20 mins there toast. But in a emergency situation the lower modes will run for a long time when with alkalines. Don’t recommend them because they can leak. But just saying in a pinch, power outage or storm can’t recharge alkalines do fairly well on the low and mid level. Ever since Katrina I keep a few hundred alkalines on hand at all times and enough nihm I shouldn’t need them. But just in case I can’t recharge what I need fast enough.

But anyways if anyone is looking to gift a nice aa light for christmas for people who can’t be trusted with lithium this is a good light. The light will get hot, when the thermal stepdown kicks in its not noticable it’s very gradual. Slow enough that your eyes adjust and don’t notice. But it gets hot before that happens and will stay warm. Seems to just cut it down barely which I like. In the cold weather like hunting season its great it sheds heat well and will warm your hands

Great torch. I’ve bought way too many of these as presents.

I guess I didn’t realize how long this light has been available. Normally companies send newer lights for reviews. Maybe it was a test if I could be trusted with their more expensive lights…

I believe the CW version released almost a year ago. But the NW version is newly released, probably around a month (or less).

1) The light is so good that it’s not obvious it’s been around for some time now.
2) I have noticed that companies recently sent out older flashlights for reviews as well (youtube); for example Thorfire’s divelight and several Lumintop SD75. I wondered why as well. One possible reason is that a review by a fairly popular youtuber means it’s advertisement. Anyhow, I wondered about this as well.

Per Thrunite’s request, non-aff links have been added to the OP including a general-use 5% coupon.

That is not correct, I’ve had the both versions for around 6 months just traded my nw version a couple weeks back

I took my TN4A HI out the other night with a friend, having not used it in several months as I was indulging in lots of other torches. Its performance surprised me just like the first time I took it for a spin. It really is such a great bit of kit, and those threads just feel so damn glorious. I’ll be buying a bunch more of these as presents, however, that USD to GBP is killing me atm. :person_facepalming:

…And I keep staring at the TN4A again… It is such a great light… Don’t know how long I can resist… It’s really my number 1 choice when it comes to 4AA lights…

Looks good. Thanks for the review.

I always forget to mention this, but in any of my reviews you can click the pics for full size. just fyi

I already have the old TN4A in NW XM-L2, but after reading PD68’s review I ended up getting the XP-L HI version as well. This is the best 4xAA light in my opinion.

Thanks for presentation.
I have just ordered one. One of big advantage of Thrunite is that they offer also NW tint.
Me personally never will buy flashlight with angry blue cool tint.

I could be mistaken I don’t think the tn4a ever came with a xml2 my nw one had a xpl v6 in it.

The ea41 is also one of my favorite aa lights. I kept the tn4a hi traded to nw one. But thrunites cool isn’t very cool like some lights. Like there nw lights are more warm then neutral
