And that’s including shipping on their website.

Besides having been launched in 2011 which is old by LED standards, where’s the catch?

It looks like it only gets the 705 lumens on 2xCR123A batteries? It doesn’t say 2x16340s, so I’m not sure if it’ll take them.

Edit: An older review:

http://lygte-info.dk/review/Review%20ThruNite%20TN12%20UK.html

says that 2x16340 is ok, but not sure about this one exactly. Anyone know? Is 2x16340 ok with this light?

looks like a good light at a good price now. Selfbuilt did a good review of it:

I picked one of these up at the $39 promotion price. It’s quite a handy size - small & bright. Shame that the twisty mode change includes strobe, so if you want to change, there’s no getting away from it. It has memory, though, so I tend to keep it on high mode, and don’t bother changing mode.

But mine has contact issues with battery change. Nonetheless I love this light - for its light weight, and adequacy of lighting. At $36 it is a good deal - for reliability, branding and quality. Imho, any branded light with reasonable price (under $40) preferred is worth the money. Actually I am tempted to buy one.
