ThruNite T1 Magnetic Tailcap 18350 **Review**

I see, sorry !

I ordered one from Amazon.

Thanks again!

Is this the 3V or 6V xhp50 that they use?

First Thrunite in years that caught my interest. It almost look like the perfect EDC. I think this light could be a hit.

Patiently waiting for the neutral white version…

I just bought one from Amazon and it exceeded my expectations. For the current sale price of $39.99, it is an extremely good deal for the best 18350 usb rechargeable light on the market. Super well built and very bright. I plan to put a 4xE21A in it in the future.

Anybody know if the magnet can be removed from this light?

Not removable but why would you want that? The magnet makes this thing super practical.

The magnet is removable. I checked first with Thrunite customer service. You have to fish down the barrel with a pair of tweezers to remove the spring and the magnet drops out. Having said that, I couldn’t get the spring back in its slot but the light works normally.

Thanks for the info!

Does the bezel unscrew by hand to access the reflector and MCPCB?
Is it mod friendly for an LED swap?

Thanks

Thread is glued but just wrap it with a wide rubber band and twist it. It comes off fairly easily. The ID of the head is 19.0mm so it should accomodate any mcpcb smaller than that. I’m going to put a 4xE21A VR16SP4 in it later.

Awesome, thanks!

Btw, NW version is instock now and it is still on sale for $39.99 with a $2 clippable coupon. Best deal ever. I just bought another one for a gift light. One of the best gift lights I’ve seen.

I ordered the NW version July 6. If you are sensitive to green tint, don’t get NW.

I bought this light as well, however I find it difficult to get used to turning the light on in firefly mode, then having to turn it off and then back on just to get to another brightness. For those of you who have the light, are you getting used to that?

I find myself needing to start in firefly and wanting to be able to ramp up because I’m preserving night vision or i need to be discrete.

FYI: The magnet in the T1’s tailcap is removable. It’s not glued in.

To remove, use needle-nose pliers to compress and remove the spring. The magnet then just falls out. The hard part is getting the spring back in. I used tweezers, but it took around 10 minutes to get it slotted in place.

Anyone able to point me to a Thrunite rep here? Bought my dad a T1 for his first EDC, which he absolutely loves, but the rubber switch came off in his pocket. How can I get him a new switch?

Bump for Thrunite rep name ... Still need to get his switch fixed.

Unfortunately, it seems to be glued in now. I had no problem removing the spring but I can’t get the magnet out, even with another magnet.

Heat can demagnetize these kinds of magnets.

I’ve done it by applying a soldering iron to the magnet.

However, that trick doesn’t always work. It didn’t work with the Sofirn SC21 as the tailcap acted as a heatsink preventing the magnet from getting hot enough.

An oven should definitely work … but there is a risk it might destroy or discolor the anodizing. Also outgassing from the anodizing or glue might stink up your kitchen.
