ThruNite TC20 (Compact XHP 70.2) / Full review

Thanks for the review and video, I was waiting for this here and also on YT.
I really enjoyed watching it on my 50” TV relaxing on the couch! Again I loved the “Rock out” slideshow segment!

.

Also a very helpful photo right here, the X6 is enormous!!

You’re welcome and Glad you enjoyed the review.

It was the Olight X7 Marauder I used to compare though and I went to the Turbo 1 setting with the X7 which is around 5500 lumens compared to the TC20 at around 3500 lumens at that point.
As far as the tint they are pretty close really in person but the X7 has a much larger head and uses 3 XHP 70 emitters with a broader beam area , compared to the single XHP 70.2 in the TC20.

I wish I had a closer comparison but the TC20 just doesn’t have the same beam as any of my other 120 or so lights I have in there believe it or not. All the others are either more floody or more throwy in comparison with most of them being more throwy , other than the X7.

Just to give a little better perspective just how small the TC20 is , here are the X6 and the TC20 laying across my hand side by side.

Wow it sure is small! Thanks for correcting me sorry about the Olight, I got that part confused with a different review, (previous post edited)

Will a 67.55mm flattop battery work in the TC20?

Hi robo, can you compare a photo between tc20 and wowtac a3. Thanks.

Left to right ….A3S / (Head Extended) , TC20 , Thorfire VG10

What a stunner. And super compact. Looks like this light is definitely MVP material. But why on earth the generic bland name “TC20”? This light deserves a much cooler name. :sunglasses:

The shorter cells will work , However I did notice with the flattop unprotected cells I tried , good bump of the tail end or head end will cause a quick flicker.
If you do not jar the light hard they work fine though.

I quit questioning the names they give a lot of these lights and accessories a long time ago , as some of them get really weird.
Better TC20 than Short Bright or something like that though……lol

The included Thrunite button top is 69.4mm (including the button)

  • 67.85 Flat top Xtar 5000mAh (protected) works
  • 65.30 Flat top LiitoKala 5000mAh (unprotected) also works

So your cell will work

.

My light flickers with a good bump even with the included Thrunite button top cell.

Yeah, they should’ve called it the Mk2 :smiling_imp:

Thanks for posting this photo, I didn’t know about the A3S before I saw this, I’m highly interested, think I’d like to try that one.

Thanks. Tc20 look compact.

TC20 coupon still working
Just ordered one
Thank you for review

Hmmmm………They extended the sale I guess?

Always glad to do the reviews.

May be….
Iwas a little bit glad :money_mouth_face:

No need to hurry, Plenty of time!

I guess the extended the sale to compete with Acebeam EC50 III

The TC20 is already $46 less than the EC50 Gen II or Gen III , with both at regular price.

With 20% off , or an extra $17 off , the TC20 is hands down the best choice in my opinion , since they are both about equal in size , output and performance.

I forgot to mention i received my tc20 in cool white… its a very good light and Would even consider as a EDC light for me. Thrunite are very reliable and user interface is awesome… just the way i want it.

I wish thrunite use 26650 in their tactical light.
