Can you confirm that these 5 new Thrunite flashlights really are warm white, “light source color” is 3000K? I have never seen Thrunite sell a warm white flashlight, only neutral white between 4000-4500K.
We provide PostNL as one of the shipping options. But for some countries, it is still not available for shipping batteries. I have passed it to relates staff and confirm once again.

Please note that this program covers all the big brand flashlight and the items with Cree emitter that shown in FastTech product description.
So all of the Cree V5 3B emitters that I have purchased are covered by this?
While the tint does appear to be a 3B the flux bin is most certainly not a V5. My sphere is very accurate (one of the standard BLF spheres JoshK made) and anytime I measure LED’s the readings match Cree’s data sheets spot on when I know they are genuine.
With an XM-L2 U2 for example I get right at 1100 lumens @ 3 amps, which is spot on the data sheet.
An XP-L V5 should put out 1200 lumens at 3 amps. Yet I only get about 750 lumens at 3 amps which would be a U2 bin. Even with 5+ amps I only get about 1050 lumens, so less lumens maxed out then it should have at 3 amps.
Well fasttech says it does, which is why I am asking if it is covered.
You can know what a V5 should do by looking at the HD V5 in the data sheet, it has the same specs as the HI, just higher bins Plus it is pretty simple, 7% flux change per bin.
Sometimes companies get bins higher than the spec sheet as well. For example the XHP35’s I got recently that did indeed test to spec and were 2 bins above what is listed in the datasheet.
The listing at Fasttech claims that it’s V5 bin, but it also says this, further down the page:
According to Cree, that is a V3 bin, still a lot more than the 750lm that Texas_Ace is getting with his.
Texas_Ace, I’d think the normal protections for wrong item shipped would cover this issue, not the new Genuine CREE warranty, which seems to be about simply guaranteeing that the emitter is, in fact, a CREE product. But, it would be nice if Fasttech would answer this here, so we can know for sure.
Thats what I thought as well but when I tried to just let them know that the 5A XP-L HI they are selling is not a 5A tint (closer to a 3A ish, actually pretty nice compared to the 3B which is why I was not worried about if I they did anything but no 5A that is for sure) they blew me off. Didn’t figure it was worth the time to deal with the bin issue on these “V5” emitters since I didn’t want to get “blacklisted”.
