How does the ThruNite TC10 V3 compare to the ThruNite TC12 V2
The price is almost the same ($66 vs $60). The emitter is the same XP-L V6. It seems like they might be identical, except for the large reflector head on the TC10.
The TC12 is frequently recommended, but the TC10 might be a better choice for some people because of the enhanced throw (330m vs 240m) and peak beam intensity (27232cd vs 14399cd).
Is the TC10 V3 a good choice compared to the TC12 V2? Am I missing any important differences?
Thanks!
