My modest collection

TN40S NW with the code the price is not so bad- HKEQUIPMENT - 照明及戶外用品

135$ versus 161$. I need to think :wink:

Where did you find the tn42 for $161?

We are talking about the price of TN40s and not about TN42

$136 versus $147

A real BLF-er would buy the GT over the TN42.
Or possibly both :wink:

GT is too big. I approach flashlights not only from the collector’s side but also from the usable side. For GT, I do not see the use due to size and weight. That’s why I’m closer to TN42

In this review video in german of the tn42 and tn40, they liked the tn40 much more for it's more useful beam because it could still throw really good. What they didn't like is the runtime on the tn40 which was half of what Thrunite claimed it to be. Runtime on the tn42 was only off by 5 minutes.

komeko u need to buy it an l6.

L6 - no. Too large in relation to the possibilities and has a rear switch and I do not like it. Now the closest I have to TN42. I think I want a mega searchlight. I’m still wondering about the D4 or DQG Tiny 26650. I do not want to copy the flashlights senselessly, that’s why I’ve crossed out the V6 because I have UT02 after modifications and in my opinion is better.

You ever consider the MF02? I have one and today ordered a second one but with NW this time. After reading a review yesterday comparing beam shots of the MF02 and TN42, the MF02 looked more to my liking.

MF02 was taken into account but compared to TN42:

  1. It is heavier
  2. Has a smaller range
  3. Anodizing is more suited to me in TN42 and I like it more generally.

4) It's half the price of the TN42

Yes … the value for money MF02 is great, but this is not my priority :slight_smile:

NW or CW?
Please, compare to MF02

On the Thrutnie site appeared Catapult V6 in the NW version and …. I could not resist :person_facepalming: . All that remains is to wait.

Do they really ship within/to the EU again? What warehouse did you choose when you ordered your V6?
Before the TLF was shut down for maintenance the last I heard was that Thrunite has cancelled new orders from European customers (pre-orders were not affected) who chose a different warehouse (US, Canada, Japan). The European warehouse is not selectable anymore for they have stated to discontinue shipping to Europe. Some weeks ago they told they wanted to build up a new sales infrastructure over here.

I chose USA. With the payment highlighted my address with the country, so it should not be a problem. In addition, there was a fee for shipping $ 5. Apparently shipping is coming from Germany but not from Amazon. We’ll see.

Most probably, you’ll be receiving your V6 from Essen, Germany - IF they won’t cancel it. They seem to have a new warehouse in Germany. I got mine via HERMES from there. And yes, Amazon does not ship it anymore over here.

You are missing the BLF A6!
The best general purpose tube light you can think of.
