I got my thrunite catapult v6 today. Thank you thrunite for the fast one day free shipping. This light is quite small. I tested the light with thrunite 26650, acebeam 26650, and shockli 26650. The lumen output were the same. So it’s good to know. This light actually cost $60, and came with the free 26650. I think it’s fair price. I got many thrunite lights and driver are very reliable. Thanks to thrunite for the great deal.
Here is is a photo comparison

As you see I own 10 thrunite lights… my first thrunite is tn36ut. I am very impress with their user interface, driver, quality, and price. Tn36ut is still working which I bought in 2016. I will continue to support thrunite as they make great quality lights.

thats a nice collection
Nice collection!
I just found out (in this thread ) the TC20 battery tube legos and works on the V6, can you try it an let us know if it makes the V6 shorter in length?
The length might depend which tailcap you use, if the tail caps also lego.
Although the diamond knurling looks pretty, in use I think I’d prefer the knurling of the TC20.
Yes… tc20 body fits on the v6 head… it doesnt make any shorter… both measured about the same length.
Mine arrived today. I like it so far. Can’t wait till night to check it out.
Looks awesome !
That was quick! Thanks for checking!
Got mine yesterday and just started playing with it today…Wow this thing is pulling some serious current! :person_facepalming:
Try this…. turn your light on, remove the tail cap ( don’t touch or turn off at the e-switch) then put the tail cap back on……Hmmm…
Then what will happened?
A huge spark and crackling sounds?
mine also came yesterday and just had to take it out last night… not used to the button procedure on Thrunite after using my 2 Astrolux and UT-02 flashlights so not used to it yet… I do like the others with a double click for turbo from scratch
I was surprised as to how small it is and the thrunite throws quite abit further than my UT-02 and also tried it alongside my Astrolux MF-02 and it is not far behind that at all very impressed so far really lighting up the trees which my Ut could not
will add a picture my Thrunite on the right and Astro MF-02 on Left
Good comparison. I came to the same conclusion that the V6 packs quite a punch for its size and yes, it's way smaller than I thought it would be too. I think Thrunite has a real winner here.
It's almost 1:00am here and I just went outside and shined my v6 on a tree about 200 yards away in turbo mode and then turned it off. I was quite amazed. Then a lady in a pick up pulls up and asks me "if I saw a that bright light too lightning up that tree" and I said, yeah, it was me testing my new flashlight. Some laughs and then she moved on. One of those times I wish I had used my dx80 instead!
I like shining my throwers from the local small bridge in my town and a few folks have commented about how far they throw LOL
i dont mention i have another 3 at home that do the same thing LOL
and just wait till my BLF GT finally shows up
haha, people love seeing how far they throw. The GT is going to cause a stir in your town!
No 
nothing like that, it turns back on, so disconnecting the battery while the light is on, dose not disconnect the switch/ mcu. I thought I might have screwed it up when I was checking current draw, but it’s working fine. Break the battery tube loose while on and it will do the same thing, turns off and back on when tube has made contact. The V6 has the same UI as a stock TN42. Checked current draw using 4 Black LiitoKala 50A right off the Sky RC charger at 4.22v and about an 8amp draw. I haven’t got the V6 apart yet to take a measurement, but I want to check the current draw at the LED. I need to make a Pin Spanner to get the bezel off, I think the driver is secured from the inside, I tried with a huge pair of snap ring pliers and taped the head up as not to scratch the glass, or the bezel, but couldn’t get the bezel to budge. I like that the driver has a heavy ground ring for heat sinking the driver, it’s really got to be getting hot in Turbo mode. This thing is a little beast……….
4 LiitoKala 50A’s 26650 22-25 IR off the Sky RC Charger 4.22v
2 IJOY 26650 40A INR 28-30IR
Thrunite supplied protected battery 54IR 4.22v
Happy it didn't throw sparks 
Odd that the switch will not turn off, thanks for that info. Have to try that now and see if it remembers the mode it was in before breaking the tube loose. Think I read thrunite recommends not to go over 10 minutes on turbo, but mine gets hot enough that I would only run it on max for a few minutes at most.
I just got my ThruNite Catapult V6 today. I'm very pleased.
Simple user interface. Nice size -- fits well in the hand. Love the fact that it comes with a battery and built-in recharger, all for the introductory price of $60.
It's so far my longest-throwing flashlight. I also own an Olight S1 Baton (which I love) and a Fenix TK35.
Spot is fairly small and well-defined. Not as tight as a super-thrower such as the ThruNite TN42, but the head on the TN42 is almost twice the diameter of the head on the Catapult V6. I consider those super-throwers to be highly specialized lights -- good for bragging, but not so practical. The hotspot is about half the size of the Fenix TK35, and three or four times as bright. (Which is what you would expect, given the manufacturers' claims on the throw distance for the two lights.)
Color is excellent. I bought the cool white version, and I find it entirely pleasing! My guess is the color is between 4100 and 4500. It is warmer than both the Olight S1 Baton and the Fenix TK35.
For use while walking around the city, a bright spot is not as good as a flood, so I made a diffuser by cutting a 52 mm circular disk from a frosted plastic soup container lid. The little plastic disk fits right up against the glass lens of the flashlight. The diffuser disk still lets through a central hotspot, but it is much broader and less defined than without the diffuser. If I want a thrower, I just pop the disk out. Very convenient!
