I have some 18A IMR efest 5000 mah on the way.
Every once in a while the switch doesn’t respond. It’s only happened a few times. Has anyone of you experienced this?
No, I’ve been using it a fair amount and I’ve not had that issue at all with mine.
It hasn’t happened since my post. Maybe the switch contact was bit oxidized?
Well hopefully it doesn’t keep acting up.
Personally I really like the action of the switch on this. I think there were some complaints it was “mushy” or “sloppy” or something, I think I said this before but to me it seems like a just a longer “throw” than other side e-switches that feel more “precise”
I think why I like it is that it takes less effort to use. But interestingly it seems more effort for accidental turn on.
Gebe:I’m really glad you are satisfied with yours.
It’s amazing that a light like my D1 at almost half the price of the TC20 and has a perfect switch with no mushiness, and a perfect CW tint, (to me!).
It’s also plenty bright enough for almost any of my needs and if it wasn’t, I’d just buy a D4 with it’s amazing turbo mode and get two lights for almost the price of one TC20!
Besides, for the most part, the TC20’s turbo mode with the 3800lm it produces, doesn’t impress me that much over what the D4 and D1 turbo modes put out. As a plus, the D1 and D4 are so much smaller.
Believe me, I’m not slamming the TC20 and if you like it, that’s all that matters. Go for it!
The D1 only puts out 1300lm on turbo, or am I missing something?
You really can’t compare this to Emisar …
The D4 can only run in turbo for what… maybe 20-30 seconds? And how many 20 second turbo blasts are you going to get before the battery needs recharged? And I’ve read it gets burning hot within seconds on turbo:
Quote from the maker of D4 (Hank @ Int’l Outdoor):
“The D4 will produce tremendous heat on turbo mode, and heat up very fast (10~20 seconds for the thermal protection to kick in depends on the cell)”
.
The TC20 will run in Turbo for several minutes before step down begins, that’s a huge difference, plus with the 5000mAh 26650 you have a much greater battery capacity, not to mention the TC20 boasts a rated 320m beam distance. Yes both the D1 & D1S will out throw it, but neither are “lumen monsters” And the D4 is pretty much a close range flooder.I’m not slamming the Emisar either - I’ll be ordering a D4 soon, the TC20 and D4 are both great flashlights but they definitely have their different uses.
Owned a D4 XP-G2 model and now own the XP-L HI model…I’d be surprised if I could hold either of them more than 15 seconds on FULL brightness without gloves (which I rarely wear). Their highest levels are definitely for “show” or for quick scans of an area far away. If I were interested in sustained brightness to a larger area at some distance, I always picked up the Acebeam EC 50 Gen II that was mentioned here earlier (excellent light I sold recently to fund something else). This Thrunite definitely looks like a nice blend of features and power to me.
Well hopefully it doesn’t keep acting up.

I’ve been using mine every day, and so far the switch has not acted up like it did a few times in the beginning. As far as a mushy feel, I’m not experiencing that. I love the switch action. Overall, I’m very happy with the TC20.

I just realized something else after reading cdjaney’s post above, the switch on this light is great for using when wearing gloves!
I preordered the tc20 and estimate shipping date was feb 23. Thrunite has shipped my tc20 2 days ago… i will get it on thursday. My shockli imr is charged and ready.
Mine arrived today, charged the battery using the internal charger to make sure it worked (it did, measured the battery after charging stopped and it was at 4.19V). Took it out after dark and gave it a test, very nice. Good tint, definitely lit up the back yard. Very happy with this one!

Did you order a Nw or cw version?
NW, didn't do any wall hunting with it but it looked great outside, very pleasing tint.
I hear rumour of a Lumintop competitor coming out shortly. Similar size and specs. And it looks great IMO. The Lumintop ODF30. Thoughts anyone? (Sorry, don’t mean to de-rail the thread)

I saw that… group buy is around $63.

Great sounds like they’re in stock now, I see they’re in stock at amazon too, both CW and NW. They need to change that ship date notice.
Only 4 days shipping!wow that’s fast, so I guess they shipped from USA not China?

Definitely not worth, this price is without battery and with battery is $2 more expensive :confounded:

More info on the ODF30 please. If there’s a link that would be great
In regards to the TC20, Since I got the tube issue orientation sorted out, mine has been great and I like it a lot. The included 5000mah 26650 has been really good

There won’t be too much more info until the CNY is done. This is the only info I can find:
