Might be kind of big for a clip, here’s some carry options I’ve found:
I’m using this set up for now:
(It’s not an EDC light for me, this is what I’m using to take it on a walk or out in the field or woods)

Mine is a #2 Nite Ize Slide Lock but it’s a re-pack from a reseller and Nite Ize doesn’t offer it anymore, they now only have the #3 which has a slightly larger carabiner. Amazon.com
Here’s a few other Ideas for this set up: Amazon.com (I might try this one too because it’s shorter) Amazon.com Amazon.com

The included Thrunite holster doesn’t fit too good, I got one of these and it fits much better:
I’m also working on making a custom open top holster out of leather & kydex with a metal belt clip, and after that I’m going to try and make one all kydex. I really prefer to have a metal clip rather than the nylon belt loops. I’ll 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 isn’t 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 that’s 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 result…
I think DC-Fix should be able to fix the tint shift and diffuse the hotspot as I’ve done it on over a dozen flashlights already. However, I still wish Thrunite used the A and D (rosy) tints instead of the B and C (yellow greenish) tints. DC-Fix does not change the tint. But yellow/green on this light is not as bad as some of the other lights I’ve seen.
Still thinking about dqg tiny 26650 instead because of smaller size. I know it has substantially less max output than TC20, but I’m wondering if it is also less efficient at lower outputs. Would the TC20 run substantially longer at around 100 lumens than the dqg? 500 lumens? (I realize neither light has these exact outputs programmed, just thrown out their as hypotethetical values for sake of bigger question of efficiency)
The TC20 is boosting a 4.2V cell to supply a 6V emitter so the actual current draw from the cell is going to be close to 50% more than current supplied to the emitter. The DQG is boosting a 4.2V cell to supply 21V to the 7 emitters at 1A actual emitter current in Turbo. So the DQG is probably hitting the cell harder in the long run.
I know this about the DQG because I modified mine to take a Cree COB at 21V 1A. (It’s technically an 18V COB but requires 21V to run 1A current at the emitter. At this level, as supplied by the stock DQG driver, it produces 2004 lumens out the front from the mule configuration with an AR coated lens.) I have this COB also as a light source for my Carolina Reaper, running on a power supply, and at .450 mA to the emitter it,s burning through 17.18V. This where I set it with the light within 2 inches of the plant. This is supposed to be a 96 CRI COB.
At any rate, the TC20 should be more efficient on the cell, runtimes should be correspondingly longer.
The package went the entire 5 days. Flashlight very pleasant, shines wide and strong enough. I like it very much. With measurements, the turbo collection is 10A. Color NW and it came out to me 4959K. Despite the ideal temperature, some bile is. BLF Q8 is clean, despite the slightly lower temperature. Overall, it’s really good:
Of course, I checked the supplied Thrunite battery. I have a comparison for Lii-50. The original is slightly less turbo, but not the whole 10%. The problem is time, because in turbo it lasts 47 seconds and goes down rapidly. On the Lii-50, the turbo will heal for 150 seconds and then it slowly descends for another minute. The flashlight is already very hot 62 degrees Celsius.
