For lamp itself ...
About the really excellent workmanship of ThruNite lamps Needless waste any more words.
I am surprised by the compactness and thus size of this lamp.
Who is reminiscent in shape of a "Coke can" and such expected should thereby probably rather have the mini-doses Gedächtsnis, distributed in aircraft, for example.
For a non-EDC really very cute.
The operating concept of this lamp is initially a bit strange, but makes perfect sense and is very well thought out.
The lamp remembers the last mode and switches at once click in this mode.
The switch must be held slightly to switch the modes.
In the OFF state has to keep choosing the switch for more ... then the light goes in FireFly (Moonlight).
In the OFF state, the lamp goes on double-click in the Turbo mode. This is also of each ON state.
Strobe then takes place at ONCE Double click.
The light output is for AA-cells (Please do not take 14500 !!) as Eneloop NiMH batteries or outstanding.
The HIGH mode really mind of the estimated brightness ago. Described 550 lumens.
And the turbo sits down again very clearly from ... well here should vote the 1150 lumens.
In addition, this is even a lamp, in which the individual mode levels are actually graded very useful. BRAVO !!
The only minor drawback is - as already described twice - the fact that the battery really sit very tight.
When fully stocked battery carrier to get the first without aids alone with your fingers as good as out. (I Heble it carefully on positive pole with a letter opener out.)
The remaining cells can then press from the inside out.
Thanks to the operation with 4 AA cells, this lamp really holds in quite sufficient for almost all purposes HIGH mode by extremely long 2 hours, and more. The 150min specified are very honest here.
For hiking or most everyday purposes MID mode is sufficient ... for truly eternal long burn time at a stretch.
So if you looking for a really bright and perennial and compact lamp with AA-cells, which should access here.
What I forgot ...
This lamp is the photograph produces a THROWER ... means that there is a wide radiator, which demonstrates its power only at a distance. Thus was built not for short distances.
I want to make that also built by ThruNite EXTREME Thrower as the TN 31/32 o. 35 not bad. But the TN4A can this relatively very expensive lamps if it's not just going to the maximum range offer quite the end.
The TN30 and TN36 here sometimes excluded because these are pure Flooder (ie Breitfeld-Ausleuchter).
