It’s tiny, near weightless, and brilliant. Gotta love it! Now I have to bring myself to put it on a keychain. Yikes!
I don’t even remember anymore how i found out about this tiny light, but i guess it was on Youtube by accident.
And well i’am thinking, a little tiny light on the Keychain would have been handy in quite a few situations.
But i’ll get to the point now, i’m that kind of guy that hates bulk, and is already quite annoyed about having a 5 ounces-Folding Knife as an EDC therefore a light would have to be lightweight (what a sentence) without beeing useless regarding the light-output.
Do you think the Thrunite Ti Titanium would be a viable option?
It’s available through Amazon for around 30€(36:money_mouth_face: with free shipping, the Aluminum-One (Ti3?) is exactly half the price of it.
So are they any other viable options as a Keychain-LED Light that would be more recommended? Is the Ti worth the 15$€ extra?
That appart what about lumination? How does it compare in the lower modes using an Efest10440 imr (high=600lm medium=200 low=(?))
Only thing that turns me off is the Setting: 0,5lm (its nothing) 12lm(still almost nothing) 162lm (BOOM IN YOUR FACE) 
Something about 50-60lm range would be great for most tasks.
Tell me what you think, an thanks for the help!
BTW: Other reknown lights at the same pricepoint and readily available through amazon in europe would be: Olight i3s(20$€), Fenix LD02 (30$€)/LD05(20$€), Thrunite Ti3s(15$€)
I managed to miss this when it was new. Looks like a rather nice light except for the weird memory function and the odd Thrunite signature mode spacing.
If I understand correctly, the memory works like this:
- Off for 0 - 2 seconds: next mode.
- Off for 2 - 10 seconds: same mode / memory.
- Off for 10+ seconds: reset to first mode.
Would be nice if it was just 0-2s next and 2s+ reset. However, it’s still an upgrade from the T10 series, which always has mode memory.
I’ve also found Thrunite’s firefly / medium / max mode spacing to be unfortunate. Their lowest mode is a bit too low (should be ~0.20 lm instead of ~0.05), and instead of medium at 12-20 lumens it should probably have two levels (~5 and ~40 lumens).
Regardless I’m still tempted to get one. The steel version is on sale for $20 now from amazon, and comes in neutral white, or titanium for $30 (no mention of tint). Either would work well on a keychain, though steel would definitely hold up to abrasion better.
these Ti Twisties are on sale for 20 bucks
they have both Neutral White and Cool White
WARNING: I just learned the now have Next Mode Memory… barf!
I already have a TiXmas in Cool White,
with an eneloop pro I get
0.09
10.5
145 lumens
hated the gritty threads, recently found a lube that solves that problem… tempted to buy another one… in NW this time
I do not put much stock in the weblink showing 162 lumens, I just think its a cool Ti Host
the lowest mode is lower than an HDS, and sufficient for my walk to the bathroom in the dark
the medium mode is effective indoors, and the High mode I seldom use, except to wow myself briefly…
