ThruNite TC20 (Compact XHP 70.2) / Full review

May be….
Iwas a little bit glad :money_mouth_face:

No need to hurry, Plenty of time!

I guess the extended the sale to compete with Acebeam EC50 III

The TC20 is already $46 less than the EC50 Gen II or Gen III , with both at regular price.

With 20% off , or an extra $17 off , the TC20 is hands down the best choice in my opinion , since they are both about equal in size , output and performance.

I forgot to mention i received my tc20 in cool white… its a very good light and Would even consider as a EDC light for me. Thrunite are very reliable and user interface is awesome… just the way i want it.

I wish thrunite use 26650 in their tactical light.

I’ve always felt $100+ on a single XHP50/70 light with boost driver (single cell) is completely bonkers, no matter how premium a brand is. Thrunite’s pricing makes the TC20 a much more lovable light to me.

Yeah, I think tc20 not compete with ec50, thrunite lights are more reliable and with a low price, only a crazy guy wil prefer ec50 :stuck_out_tongue:

If I’m not wrong acebeam had a problem with baterry carrier, this will solved or those costumers where screwed? :zipper_mouth_face:

For a tactical light I do like the Acebeam x30 (20700 cell): Acebeam L30 High Lumen Flashlight|AceBeam® Official Store | Flashlights, Tactical Lights

Just ordered the TC20 to complete my collection. I swear this will be my last flashlight purchase this year.

Yea I remember saying those words before………

HAHAHA still over 9 months left……….and lots of new stuff coming out alllll the time. :smiling_imp:

Sometimes I find it impossible to hold back on a purchase if I really like a light. 9 months is a long time still but I've been known to have a lot of will power, but obviously not with flashlights. Last couple of weeks I picked up a ea81, dx80, q8, mf02, tn42 and now the tc20. This madness needs to stop ..... unless astrolux really puts out some winners!

Save me and say that once I have Q8 I do not need TC20 :smiley:

That doesn't work and, I have two Q8's!

robo, your Thrunite cell seems to be wet inside the wrapper, you should probably check into that and possibly set that cell aside as questionable. :wink:

looks like a great compact light, and i have always had solid experience using ThruNite products. would anyone possibly know if this will be available in a Neutral White ? i only see a cool white version listed on the ThruNite webstore ....and seems like it is no longer even available for purchase on their webstore until April 15 2018 (not available on Amazon or ebay either) ?? Can one still use the discount code to pre-order ?? thanks all !

If you use their drop down menu where you see CW you will also see the option for NW http://www.thrunite.com/thrunite-tc20-3800-lumen-flashlight/

I used the discount code and it still worked directly on thrunites website.

thanks kirman, that info was most helpful, much appreciated !! think i shall get me 1 or maybe 2 :)

Well, I could not stand it :smiley:
Ordered and waiting impatiently for the courier.

Anytime! I'm still waiting for mine. Tracking says it will be here tomorrow or Tuesday. I get a feeling it will be my new favorite light to carry everywhere.

Got my CW today and it's a nice solid little light. I can't seem to tell the difference between 1800 lumens and 3800 lumens though. Normally based on my other lights, I should still notice a 2000 lumens jump between 2-4k lumens. I'll try it outside tonight as I have only been doing the ceiling bounce in a dark room so far.

I got the CW and it is has a very heavy green tint on all levels. I'm not convinced my TC20 is 3800 lumens though as I have a Nitecore EA21 and it gets 2150 lumens and when I point it at the mirror and have the reflector look back at me, it is far brighter than the TC20 at 3800 lumens.

Update: I see the problem. I tightened the head as was suggested with this light, and it will go on turbo for about 1/10th of a second and then step down again so I think I have a faulty one. I just found another problem. 1/4 of the emitter is not working at all. I seem to be on a roll with faulty emitters lately.
