Thrunite TC20 - XHP70 - 3800lm

TC28?? Thought this was a joke, then I realized your typo….T M 28

.
Nice light!- BlackShadow Terminator on Steroids! It should have some good throw, needs a handle though… I don’t see a tripod mounting hole on the side where you could adapt one, or am I missing it?

.

EDIT: I see now NHM10 handle fits: (and comes free with it?)

Me too. I also have olight r50 xhp70 as well… this tc20 is very small and bright… what i like about this light is user interface and driver… thrunite driver are bulletproof.

No handle, no batteries. Just the charger. Compared to my TM26GT, this thing is bright I did a comparison ceiling bounce, oh man. Data states 45min on turbo. It gets warm. It was not a free item, but I seen the handle for them. And it does have a tripod mounting hole. :+1:

By the way, (I may have said this already) this Thrunite TC20CW really impresses the heck out of me. It’s just perfect in every way I need it to be. I highly recommend it if you thought about getting one.

This has to tell you something positive, I just bought a 2nd one.

EDIT, a pocket clip would have been a nice addition to the TC20!!!

Not sure where you got that about today being the last day, the email they sent me says valid through April 15.

I won’t say that I’m not confusing it with another offer, I never got the email you mention. I will edit my above!!

TC20 is my first purchase of 2018 & it’s worth every penny! I like it a lot.

Size comparison:
Blf Q8/ Nitecore EC4SW/ HaikeLite SC02/ Olight R50vn/ Thrunite TC20/ DQG Tiny 26650 3th V2

Tint comparison: WB set 5000k
Blf Q8( xp-l 4500k)/ Nitecore EC4SW(MT-G2)/ HaikeLite SC02(MT-G2)/ Olight R50vn(dedome XHP-50)/ Thrunite TC20(XHP-70.2 NW)/ DQG Tiny 26650 3th V2(XP-G2 NW)

Great post, nice lights!

I like the Haikelite, how did you get the in the tan color? Did it came that way?

Are those discontinued? It looks like no one has them, Gearbest has an Arrival Notice for the “White” color. (I wonder if it’s really white?)

Thanks for the tint comparison. Would you say the tint is slightly on the green side?

Solely based on the observation that TC20 is smaller than even X6, TC20 should get piping hot on Turbo. Isn’t this the case?

TC20 NW has very nice cream white hotspot & yellowish corona in close distance. Just like all other Cree XHP70.2 LEDs. It’s just the nature of new full covered phosphor LED, no big deal! I dislike hint of green tint from the dedome/shave dome LED more!

No, it is white color not Tan color. The picture may catch the orange light from my Radiant Heater.
Haikelite “white” color is a similar color of TC20’s switch.

I may have found a pocket clip (far right selected image) to fit the TC20.

Oh, crap, you have four lights that I want to buy (SC-02, TC-20, DQG and Q8). I love NW around 5000K and the least discoloration. Tell me which of the flashlights are you most happy with? I am asking about color, size, modes, etc. I care about a big leak.

I dont know if you saw my post HERE but if you get a good slice on the emitter first , then cut straight down right at the edges of the die itself very carefully and get all that other phospor off , then the beam will actually have less greenish cast in it and tighten up some also.

Getting that layer of phosphor off around the die itself is key to getting rid of what I call the “Olive” cast around the main hotspot.

Note this is based on the CW emitter………the NW emitter would probably get way too warm or yellow if the slice and dice method was used.

They all have pro & con, none of them is perfect.
Q8 is a great light, one of best UI on the market, nice beam & tint, but machining can’t compare with Olight & Thrunite. I found Q8 is too heavy & bulky for some of my tasks.
DQG is the light I use most because the TIR & tiny size. V2 NW version has very nice cream white 5000k Tint unlike V1. NW has very warm NWTint. Although, It is a great light for daily use, but I don’t trust the reliability in the harsh environment. The switch feels kind weak.
SC-02 is my least like light, big bulky & heavy, machining is so so, the UI is just ok, switch is not very responsive.
Thrunite TC20 is my favor 26650 by far, Machining is very good, build quality feel solid, size is good for any tasks, Tint is good for Cree XHP 70.2. I don’t have any complaint so far……
By the way, lumen output # never my major concern, Tint/size/ practical are more important for me!

Hi, Thanks for tip & detail explane. I don’t have skill to dedome/shave dome LED; however, I have few shave dome moded lights from Vinh. I do like tighter hotspot & natural tint, but no matter what type of LED, floody or throwy, they all have hint of green tint especially indoor & on white wall.

Q8 arrived yesterday and stay with me for longer. It is great as the need for power and not necessarily a huge range. Interface …. I fell in love. Well, machining is not really the number one, but there is no tragedy. I’ve even taken measurements and are in my footer. charles lin, thank you for your answer, you helped me make some decisions. I am stripping SC-02 from the shopping list. DQG and maybe TC20 are left.

Anyone tried swapping led with MT-G2?
Mike

I got to looking into the LED on the lowest setting and noticed spots. Is this normal, or a bad LED?

You can measure the output?

If the output is ok, I didnt worry about it :stuck_out_tongue:

I have no way to measure it correctly. The spots are not black, so I presumed it to be normal.

I ordered the TC20 because after doing research, it seems this is still the brightest 26650 flashlights and is brighter than the newly released Acebeam EC50 III with same emitter. However, I’m really nervous that I will get one with greenish tint. I already have the DQG Tiny III v3 7xXPG2 which I like alot because of the creamy tint and small size. I also have the SC-02 ordered several weeks ago but waiting for arrival. I doubt I will use the SC-02 that much as it is dimmer than the DQG and TC20 but I wanted to try an MT-G2 flashlight. Also Haikelite user interface is improving alot and I’m in love with their recent MT09R monster flashlight.
