Thanks for the video… why do you have to double click again at 1:05 ? Was there a stepdown?

Newlumen · 2018-08-13T01:04:36.000Z

I did the thrunite catapult v6 lumen test using Texas ace tube. Enjoy.

I want to make sure it was on turbo. It steps down at first ~ 2 minutes,then about every 75 seconds after that. That is with the Orbtronic 5750 battery,same as shockli 5500 cell.[PLB 55A]

Thanks for the testing,that is almost the exact numbers on mine,turn on and 30 seconds. But V54 used the Thrunite battery for my specs. Shockli/Orb. probably a bit higher.

New V6 video w. special guest coming up. Probably tomorrow because it still is not on my Google photos yet.only on my phone.

Time to go to bed here in the suburbs of Philly,SUPER BOWL CHAMPS! Time will tell,they may do it again! :sunglasses:

General thought here first. We all have to make best with what we have. In this case our video equipment and locations. I have some of the best locations with ZERO light pollution on these dark and isolated hiking trails.No city or Suburban lights. I just wish my video equipment[my phone!] was better!

Here is my V6 video w/ a special guest.My video recording was not the most stable as I was focusing more on my special guest!

I just noticed in the OP review, turbo to LVP shutdown was 90 minutes. Thrunite says 150 minutes but reality is 90 minutes which is -40% from specs. Doesn't make any sense for manufactures to make such exaggerated claims on run times. I was making a spreadsheet of run times for all my lights and was looking at reviews and came upon this one.

For the thrower connoisseurs,

Is the Catapult V6 still one of the best in class for a single cell thrower?
Any new lights in 2019 that are worth considering?

Mostly interested in constant current / regulated 18650 or 26650 size.
Any recommendations?

BlueSwordM · 2019-05-11T16:49:47.000Z

Yes. One of your best bets.

I’d say one of the best single cell throwers is the Acebeam T27. It throws more than 900 constant meters for 1.5h

Pavlo · 2019-05-14T04:52:50.000Z

Thanks for your feedback.

The Acebeam T27 seems to be the most powerful one I can find, and the price tag goes along with it too

How do you think the Catapult V6 compares to the Astrolux FT02?
What I am impressed with the FT02 is that they managed to do a Ramping UI with a regulated Boost driver. Never seen that before!
