First let me apologize if I kind of skipped around and fumbled through the first portion of the video review. It has been a rough past week or so here , with a death in the family and at the time , I was fighting with what I think maybe the flu and was taking cold medication and with all combined it kind of had me in a fog , as far as my thought process.

Although not one of their newest lights ,the TH10 is a very well constructed light as have been all my ThruNite products to date. This light is available in both Neutral and Cool tints. The fit , finish and overall build quality are all excellent and the threads are buttery smooth on the sample I received. I did not mention in the video the TH10 has Low Voltage protection I don’t think. I DID mentioned however , that it can use not only the 18650 cells , but also two 16340 or two RCR123 can be used instead if desired.
This is not a close up type headlamp for working and it is not a real long range light either , with it kind of falling in the middle for things like medium range hunting (40 to 100 yards or so) also good for camping , as it has the firefly mode for getting around a tent or camper and on low mode is very adequate light for inside the camping area.

I did do some tailcap readings and the numbers I got with a fully charged and rested LG MJ1 cell are …… Firefly 0.0 amps / Low 0.06 amps / Medium 0.41 amps / High 1.35 amps / Turbo 2.44 amps.(readings taken with the Uni-T 210E clamp meter)
Although there is approximately a 1 amp jump from High to Turbo , visually the difference is barely noticeable in real time (at least to my old eyes), until you are out at like 75 to 100 yards , but then at the greater distances it is much more noticeable than at the closer distance to the eye. I think the still shots in the video portion picked up the difference much better than I actually perceive it with my eyes.
I do not have any good direct comparisons to the TH10 as far as headlamps go , as all the other headlamps I have are very floody and much more suited for close up stuff , but I did use the TH20 and the BLF A6 to do some outside shining comparisons with the TH10.

I think everything else is covered in the video portion and if you do not want to watch the whole video , the still photos and beamshots start at 6:56 in the time line and the outside shining and comparison start at 10:18 in the timeline.
