Review : ThruNite Neutron 2C flashlight (xp-l v6 , usb charging , ramping)

Excellent! I plan on using mine with an 18350. I have a few Efest 900mAhā€™s in stock. I really like that itā€™s flexible with battery sizes.

Thanks ! Haha i canā€™t really remember itā€™s name , but i will reply here when i do :stuck_out_tongue:

.

Also , updated in the first post the output/time diagram , on the highest brightness of the ramping mode . Over 90% of the total output (about 580 otf lumens) for about 110 minutes ā€¦

.

With the provided 3400mAh battery , it rattles but only a little . Maybe with unprotected and/or slimmer batteries there is a biggest issue .

The rattling is easy to fix. Just wrap a post-it note around the battery. No more rattle.

This thread died rather quickly. Anyway, mine shipped. I should have it in a few days.

Didnā€™t have time to update the review , tomorrow is the time :smiley:

Very cool. Looking forward to it :slight_smile:

Does the switch stay lit in all cases?
I prefer the battery indication to signal on activation then turn off, for all battery states; signal intermittently (say every 10 seconds) during use only when the battery is below 25; every 5 seconds when the battery is below 20; then not signal during use but step down the output when the battery is below 15% to prolong remaining runtime.

Great price but I still donā€™t want to risk getting a green NW.

Updated the thread : Usb charging / Battery indicator / Conclusion

I wasnā€™t happy with the UI video so i will give it another try .

.
.

Yes it stays on all the time , in every mode except firefly mode .

TC12 V2 nw had a great tint , this light is CW and tint is pure white , and maybe a little rosy on the edges .

Really happy with the light so far ā€¦

Mine arrived today. So far Iā€™m really liking it. It runs fairly hot in the turbo mode, but not hot enough to be of any concern. I havenā€™t measured battery life yet on the Efest 900mAh 18350 Iā€™m using, but it does seem to do pretty good. The tint is supposed to be cool white, to my eyes itā€™s closer to a neutral white

Do you think itā€™s a little rosy too ?

Itā€™s probably a CW tint i could live with ā€¦

I wouldnā€™t say rosy, but then again Iā€™ll have to look at it again tonight on a white wall. Itā€™s definitely not cool white. Thatā€™s for sure.

I see no indication of electronic lockoutā€¦ does it have it?

I believe not a single Thrunite has electronic lockout, which I pity.

ā€¦so we unscrew the ā€œtail capsā€ :wink:

Sure it works. I just find electronic lockoutā€¦ well sexy. Especially if you get like a feedback from the illuminated switch with a couple of blinks.

Not having the electronic lockout doesnā€™t bother me at all since I will not be carrying this in my pocket. Its purpose is a general around the house flashlight. It will get used often

Thank you.

Iā€™ve been using mine for 12 days now and still very pleased with my purchase. Yesterday I received 2 Aspire 1100 mAh 18350ā€™s in the mail. Tested them and they exceed their ratings, 1027 and 1080 mAh on the first discharge cycle. Installed one in the 2C. If I have time tonight Iā€™ll do a rundown test till I get a solid red low battery indicator.

Thanks !

Still havenā€™t tested mine , i canā€™t find a new pair of 18350ā€™s to purchase ā€¦

No problem. Iā€™m testing it now. Hopefully, Iā€™ll catch it when the indicator turns solid red.

P.S. There are no 18350 dealers that ship to Greece?

Results: 2C started on turbo. At some point, it stepped down to high. Not sure when it stepped down, but I left it that way. Battery used was a fully charged Aspire 1100 mAh 18350

22 minutes to blinking red
29 minutes to solid red

At that point I shut the 2C off. Itā€™s now recharging via the USB port

Obviously, an 18350 doesnā€™t come close to a 3400 mAh 18650. For me itā€™s worth having a shorter version of this light even though the runtime is much less.
