Thanks Dale, and thanks Robo for the close up photos. I just received my A3s today and yeah although the knurling is much better than most, itās definitely not in the same class as Thruniteās. But Iām real happy with it.
I agree even my tc20 cool white have hint of green at low outputā¦ i am not worried muchā¦ this light is great for me. I know i am getting a good quality light from thrunite.
Just got my NW in the mail today. Itās tiny, and I love it. I canāt wait to take it outside! Iām colour blind so donāt ask me about my thoughts on tint etc lol
I donāt notice all these rainbow issues using the light outdoors, only if I shine it against a white wall. But even then itās not enough to concern me, it has a nice neutral tint.
But I read an interesting comment about a XHP70.2 in a different thread today:
āthe XHP70.2 4000k 80+CRI, which has perfect neutral tint that is nearly indistinguishable from the legendary Nichia NVSL219BTā
Anyone know where to get this āperfect neutralā emitter?
I ordered one from the thrunite websiteā¦ there is a warning that it is not expected to ship until 04/15/2018ā¦ is that kind of delay what others have experienced?
I am a flashlight newbie.I ordered the Thrunite TC 20 via Thrunite with the 20% discount on Feb 22 and recieved Feb 25.
The light is small and very bright. I had it on Turbo for 7 minutes without overheating.
I didnt notice a great difference between the high 1800L and the Turbo 3800L will a different battery give more output?
What batteries 26650 work with this flashligh? I sent an email to Thrunite for a pocket clip but non available, anyone know where I can get a pocket clip for this light ?
Any recomendations for a better holster ? The Olight R50ās holster looks like its better quality and more heavy duty any other recomendations ? Thank you
The TC20 also works with the current best unprotected cell, Shockli 5500mah (measured at 5,948mah), and best protected cell, Xtar 5000mah (measured at 5,224mah). In comparison the included Thrunite 5000mah protected battery measured at 5,335mah. I think the Thrunite and the Xtar are the same batteries.
I tested the TC20 NW with the Thrunite 5000mah, Xtar 5000mah Protected, and Shockli 5500mah batteries and they all gave the exact same lux readings so you wonāt gain any output by using another battery.
Might be kind of big for a clip, hereās some carry options Iāve found:
Iām using this set up for now:
(Itās not an EDC light for me, this is what Iām using to take it on a walk or out in the field or woods)

Mine is a #2 Nite Ize Slide Lock but itās a re-pack from a reseller and Nite Ize doesnāt offer it anymore, they now only have the #3 which has a slightly larger carabiner. Amazon.com
Hereās a few other Ideas for this set up: Amazon.com (I might try this one too because itās shorter) Amazon.com Amazon.com

The included Thrunite holster doesnāt fit too good, I got one of these and it fits much better:
Iām also working on making a custom open top holster out of leather & kydex with a metal belt clip, and after that Iām going to try and make one all kydex. I really prefer to have a metal clip rather than the nylon belt loops. Iāll post about those here as I get them done.
What's the average time to step down from turbo to 1800l m? Mine has not arrived yet, but I sort of regret ordering it now that I know it has a very tight hot spot instead of a more even flood.
kirman, the hot spot isnāt really all that tight unless you take steps to make it so. The reflector is comparatively shallow and orange peel in texture with the big XHP-70.2 so the hot spot at any real distance is quite large. It has been widely reported to have a nice spill thatās useful as well, so it should be very much an excellent general purpose light in stock form.
Pretty sure I saw where someone put DC Fix on the lens and was very very pleased with the resultā¦
