But the fact remains that it is a really interesting lamp in TN15. Thrower with a range of over 500 m usually cost more than 100 euros and are usually much larger and heavier. While offering ThruNite something more powerful obsolescence TN31 currently 79 euros, but Jack Suitable for this lamp is no longer unfortunately. In sharp contrast to the relatively compact and lightweight TN15. Although this is quite long, but quite thin in diameter and ready with 391 g of a Thrower this performance class quite easily. In addition, the battery tube is divided, ie a half can be removed and the TN15 be operated with only one 18650 Li-ion battery.
Speaking of battery tube. This is inside quite narrow, so do not fit all 18650 batteries. My Keep Power Batteries 3,400 mAh are unfortunately too thick. I use two batteries with 3,200 mAh ThruNite (which by the way more powerful than the more expensive battery with 3,400 mAh ThruNite).
Otherwise, the processing at a high level. A Bezel stainless steel would have liked even more, but at this price you can not have everything. The TN15 has a tail cap on / off and to use the Morse or momentary function. About a second, located on the lamp head switch you change the brightness levels. The lamp always starts in the last used light level (memory function). The light levels are well chosen, the TN15 also has a real low with 0.3 lumens.
A status LED for warning of discharged batteries, as with most other ThruNite lamps, there is not here unfortunately. In this respect, you should run only secured batteries with PCBs, these are switched off in order to avoid total discharge.
My TN15 I bought in Cool White. I feel the light color to be quite pure white, that is, without color cast. As Thrower the TN15 has a rather concentrated spot. This is slightly larger than for instance a ThruNite TN31 or TN32. In the dark, but also arises here a typical lightsaber effect. Nevertheless, the environment is still very well illuminated. The total luminous characteristic is very similar to the ThruNite Throwern TN31 / TN32. The heat dissipation has ThruNite here very well under control. The massive cooling fins on the lamp head stand responsible.
For the enclosed remote switch that few people are likely to have a use. Intended for hunters and for mounting on the rifle, such use is already prohibited in Germany.
The official product images let the lamp seem a bit chubby in terms of their proportions. She indeed looks much slimmer and more delicate. For clarity, I have uploaded some own pictures of TN15.
Conclusion: The ThruNite TN15 is a real asset in ThruNite portfolio. It offers Thrower fans good performance in a compact format and at a very reasonable price. For a formal and technically efficient comparable NiteCore MH40 Thor you have to pay almost twice as much, and with less ease.
Finally, a small request: You use the tuning button! So you contribute to a better orientation regarding usefulness of all reviews.
