Thrunite TN 42 ,a new record in Throw

I put the light on the…bench against a luxmeter at 4,7m,I used 4 Samsung 30Q batteries fully charged in a LiitoKala 500 charger, and the result is veeery good. 722,000Cd. :smiley:
I am impressed.

I have to change my opinion about this light compared to a K70,because,if there is a very far target,the TN42’s beam cuts the darkness like a sword,reminding me my blue laser pointer of 1.6W.

Nice Theodore!!! :+1:
I thought you would be pleased…. :wink:

Yes,I am ,it shines. :smiley:

Oh yeah…. that it does. :+1: … :wink:

So the K70 go’s back into the BOX now right? :smiley:

I have all my lights,except the TN42,(which is on a table),in two drawers,which are now full of them.I will put on the same table, the new guy,(a TN40S),which is arriving in about a week.
Santa, was generous to me this year . :smiley:

I saw a quote recently that struck home… “I’ve almost got all my Christmas shopping done, now I just have to buy everyone one else’s.”

You might want to check HERE also. :+1:

So has anyone attempted to mod this thing with a different led yet??

Loving mine, not gonna mess with it. :smiley:

Received my TN42 couple days ago, on my test I got ( 717,500kcd 1,694M at 5M ) with 30Q button top and ( 682,830kcd ) 1,652M at 9M with 30Q button top.

NW TN42 in med fog. This show the beam pretty well but it’s hard to see how far it really goes.

That is a nice video ‘lawallac’!!! Thank you or sharing it……… :+1:
I did that the other night (no video) but since I was holding the light I did not get as good a view as I can see on your video.

This thing looks like a mile long light saber doesn’t it??? I love playing with my TN42… :wink:

There really is quite a bit of spill in the beam that it seems kind of unnatural the amount of intensity that it still develops in the central part of the beam. Really unique for an unmodified light to have this much throw. I’d say it’s a keeper.

So now we have the aptly christened TN42 KPR. :wink:

I’d say so. :slight_smile:
Mine is a “KPR” for sure. :wink:

thats a stock tn42 putting out close to 500 more lumens, and 100kcd , over the quoted factory specs?
is it nw, or cw ?
how do you test your big throwers?
5 meters? 10 meters?
what kind of lux meter do you use?

thanks for the help

Texas Ace tested the XHP35 to do about 2500lm max in his calibrated integration sphere, I highly doubt 3k lumens is correct.

My TN42 is Cool White. I test in a PVC “P” Trap lightbox that’s been calibrated by 25 known factory ANSI rated lights initially, then continuously checked over a hundred plus lights since. I also went to the extreme of setting up a true one mile test and got pictures of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper with text legible by the light from the TN42 one mile away. Beyond the numbers, an actual one mile test proved it out. I think my meter is a 1330B, will double check it when I get back to it. I normally test at 5M, where I have control distance.

ok thanks for that sir
saw your 1 mile test, that was great! tx for doing that
reason im asking, i have a few vn modded lights, a tk61vn, and a newly acquired tn40svn, that are putting out about 120k lux less than the quoted spec
ive checked them on 4 different lux meters, and the only that came close was the dr meter one, it showed about 460k for the tn40svn
others include, my dmm cen-tech, that has lux meter built in, a supposed good quality extech, lt300, that i just got tody , and a cheaper one that got good reviews, and a Holdpeak 881C…
the tn40svn is supposed to put out 500k lux, but i can only get around 390k or so, same for the tk61
he also measured a stock tk42 at 700k lux, just like you did is the reason im asking
about to drive me nutts trying to figure out the true numbers !
ive shot the lights with fresh batteries at any where from 2 meters, all the way up to 10 meters….

tx……
