ThruNite T1 Magnetic Tailcap 18350 **Review**

I ordered the NW version July 6. If you are sensitive to green tint, don’t get NW.

I bought this light as well, however I find it difficult to get used to turning the light on in firefly mode, then having to turn it off and then back on just to get to another brightness. For those of you who have the light, are you getting used to that?

I find myself needing to start in firefly and wanting to be able to ramp up because I’m preserving night vision or i need to be discrete.

FYI: The magnet in the T1’s tailcap is removable. It’s not glued in.

To remove, use needle-nose pliers to compress and remove the spring. The magnet then just falls out. The hard part is getting the spring back in. I used tweezers, but it took around 10 minutes to get it slotted in place.

Anyone able to point me to a Thrunite rep here? Bought my dad a T1 for his first EDC, which he absolutely loves, but the rubber switch came off in his pocket. How can I get him a new switch?

Bump for Thrunite rep name ... Still need to get his switch fixed.

Unfortunately, it seems to be glued in now. I had no problem removing the spring but I can’t get the magnet out, even with another magnet.

Heat can demagnetize these kinds of magnets.

I’ve done it by applying a soldering iron to the magnet.

However, that trick doesn’t always work. It didn’t work with the Sofirn SC21 as the tailcap acted as a heatsink preventing the magnet from getting hot enough.

An oven should definitely work … but there is a risk it might destroy or discolor the anodizing. Also outgassing from the anodizing or glue might stink up your kitchen.
