Thrunite TN 42 ,a new record in Throw

Boost driver working voltage is 8.4v, I wonder if my spare K70 carrier will fit? Might do better 4S and a LD-2 M2 at 3amps!

Really impressive, but really specialized. I cringe at “850 grams / 200 mm x 100 mm / shoulder strap”.

This one needs a mounting bracket for carrying in a motor vehicle. This is not a ‘walk the dog’ light by any means.

But I still want one. :smiley:

Well, to be fair, this winter I walked my dogs at night with my 550kcd modded TK61 :smiley: Obviously not as my only light, but it’s fairly nice being able to see at a distance when out in the pitch black of a moonless night

Maybe not xpg2, but dedomed xpl would be nice.

Oh man!!!

Wow, TaoBao starts selling TN42 .
Anyone want to try?

To me, it is not worth this price……or I cannot trust Thrunite again (as I bought T10T titanium FL @ $39, and but just two months later it sold at $25……)
FYI: TN40 was selling RMB899 ($138) for first 5 sets. I thought this time TN42 also got offer:(

Just got a TN42 from TaoBao.
Seller will only ship after 20th Sep.
Wonder how it performs against K70 CW & NW (Mod), TK61 (4.5A U3 2A dedomed), BOSS1 (XP-L HI V3 1C), TM36 Lite???!!!

I just ordered one of these TN42’s as well, direct from Thrunite… and it will ship on or after 9/20/2016. Can’t wait to see how this baby puts it downrange! Love the “tactical knurling” as well! :slight_smile:

And yes, I have to wonder too Kawi… having already built an XHP-35 that pulls 3.13A and makes 2987 lumens what would that do with this massive reflector? :wink:

How about Out Freaking Standing Dr.Dale! We will see how it does against the T90-2 at 2.81and then kick it up a notch at 3.0+? Need to get to a laptop and order mine!

The core of the Universe pulls at my creativity. I might have to dig out the mirror finish reflector from my Olight SR-90 and build an XHP-35 light from scratch. :smiley:

We do it with 3 Olight SR 90 reflectors. :beer:

And it is great.

Pictures or it didn’t happen! :stuck_out_tongue: lol

Here it is :

BS are here:

By the way,which Bin do you use for 2900 Lumens ?

Regards Xandre

I got some XHP35-E4-1D from Richard last month. Like the tint quite a bit, ever so slightly on the warm side of pure white.

Thanks Dale :+1:

Dat’s Bad to Da Bone!! :+1: Wooooweee! :beer:

Try de-doming them HD’s…

Dale, did you get the one referenced in the OP (TN42C) or the 4 x 18650 version (TN42)??

I got the TN42, at the time I was thinking my chargers would charge 4 cells at 1A each for an effective 4A charge rate as compared to the proprietary pack doing 3.5A. But I do like the power cut-off on the tail of the proprietary, so I may consider it in the future.

I also like being able to pick my own cells though so for now the 18650 version is best for me. This will allow me to pick and choose for absolute power or absolute run-time or a compromise cell for the best of both. :wink:

I did notice that the TN42C is $70 more expensive, buying the proprietary battery as an accessory it’s only $60, not sure what’s up with that.

Edit: They also state that the choice of Neutral White over Cool white will reduce the stats by 15%. I opted for the whole 9 yards. :smiley:

Is this a re-badged K70, does it use the same reflector?
