Thrunite Catapult V6 (mini thrower) // Full reveiw

Ignore that last post……….it seems they list the V6 in NW on the site , but in fact it is only available in cool white.

Thanks again kirman………

I got to studying the pictures on my computer screen and then went out and shined the light at that same spot again (from the tripod) , using binoculars to see the treeline and marker.

The reflection up closer does make the light look brighter up close in the photo with the white sand , but at the treeline , in the picture that I enlarged , it is actually fairly close from what I can tell with the binoculars and standing right where I had the camera sitting to take the photo.

I guess what I am saying is , the picture is a little deceiving as far as the up close spill in the 400 yard shot because of reflection off the sand , but at the same time the light on target is represented fairly close to what I see in the enlarged photo at 400 yards.

From your pics, it's easy to see the reflection off the sand and doesn't take away from the actual brightness of the trees at 400 yards. I knew right away when I saw your pic it was very close to what I am seeing with my V6 at that distance. The V6 is a keeper, that's all I can say!

Very nice review I always enjoy your videos :beer:

This could be my first Trunite flashlight, if I can somewhere to buy it that ships to Denmark without breaking the bank.

Thanks khas much appreciated……….

I don’t know where to even start looking to find this light to have it shipped to you there , unless maybe Amazon will ship it there?

Amazon will be happy to ship it to Denmark for a mere : “$74.99 + $40.00 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to Denmark”

hkequipment.net want’s US $74.99 but it’s out of stock

thrunite.com doesn’t ship to Denmark currently their reply was : “Please wait. now we have some difficulty to ship your country”

But luckily it’s not like a need another flashlight :slight_smile:

Wow I didn’t know shipping was that expensive to get things there. Hopefully HKE will get a few in stock soon.

I know what ya mean about don’t “NEED” another flashlight………I am at 140 now I think , or pretty close , but never have too many……
At least that’s my theory , wife has different thoughts at times I do believe. :innocent:

Have you tried Amazon.de yet? A marketplace seller „HoPE GmbH“ sells it for € 79,95 plus shipping. I don‘t know if they would ship to Denmark but maybe it’s worth a try.

@robo819 :

I think most of the $40 is tax for the Danish government :slight_smile:

I only have the 65 flashlights I use most out in the open, and three big boxes of flashlights I do not like/use.

@ flashtom

Thanks for the suggestion, shipping to Denmark is € 16,80.

I think my best option is to wait until hkequipment.net has it in stock

Correct. Not available in NW. I had an order in for one and a few weeks later they told me it wasn’t going to be produced and refunded the money.

hkequipment.net have five Thrunite Catapult V6 it in stock ATM

EDIT :

05/30/2018 0500 Out of stock

Did you check how high the voltage need for activating turbo mode?

No I didn’t even think about that to be honest. I did the run time test listed in the charts in OP , starting in Turbo and just let the light run from there until it shut down.

Can you check it roughly? Base on Thrunite’s name, It’s acceptable for me if the minimum voltage is not higher than 3.7V.

It may take a while to get the result , but I can discharge the cell on my Opus charger to around 3.7 and then start checking Turbo mode from there I guess.

Thank a lot. Since you’re going to discharge your cell, I think you should test from higher voltage, like from 4.0, 3.9, 3.8….until you can’t activate turbo mode. :slight_smile:

OK I have the results from my testing of the voltage needed for Turbo mode to activate. I turned the light on in Turbo mode each time I checked the voltage and lumens , let it stay on for 30 seconds , turned the light off and then discharged the cell a little more to do the next step.

I made a simple chart as to what the cell voltage was and also noted the lumens at each voltage or step of the testing.
Of course as would be expected , the lumens are much lower than what you will get from a fully charged cell.

Here is the chart with those results and I am also editing the OP and the chart will be there as well.

Good result. Thanks, I really appreciate your help
:wink:

No problems…… As I have always said , I am glad to do the reviews and answer any questions about those lights that I can.

Got mine today, very nice little flashlight. Only thing I don’t like so much is the cool white tint so I put in a XHP35 HI C4 40E 4000K CRI80+ :
