ThruNite TN4A 1150Lumen Single CREE XP-L V6 LED Flashlight/Powered by 4 AA batteries - Neutral White

It's hard to believe this light would work on Turbo for about an hour but it can and that's the amazing part. I wanted this light for the throw which can go over a thousand feet (or 326 meters) and this has good flood as well. Much brighter than the 3D 625 lumen Maglite i had gotten. This light has the best of both worlds, a moonlight mode which can last up to 80 days or a low 13 lumen mode that lasts for 93 hours. If you do plan on using this light for the turbo mode, keep a few extra lights with you because you will more than likely be changing out the batteries a few times and it's recommended to use Eneloop Pro or the Duracell Ion Core, 2400mAh cells for maximum run time. If you want an extra boost, you may want to consider the 2700mAh PowerEx cells. Even though you can swap out those cells and get a new batch to get another hour run time at 1150 lumens, it might be prudent to lower the settings as just from having this light on for a minute on turbo, this thing heats up quickly.While this is a good 1150 lumen light on the spot, i still would prefer having my Fenix LD41 for basic stuff and to avoid having the cells used in the TN4A wear out quicker, along with having the light heat up even though it can handle up to 80C i prefer to keep it around 40C. I don't know how this light would behave in the winter time but i would recommend if the light is cold enough to let it warm up first before cranking Turbo out. I would start with low to medium and let it warm up on medium to high then to turbo. Of course there may be a situation where you need turbo right away and have no time to wait around but if you do i would recommend letting the light warm up first to avoid the components expanding or contracting due to the extreme temp variation.Overall i find this light to be great, one thing about the tint and this makes the CW seem a bit more like the NW. I came to realize that the CW isn't as CW as your basic CW flashlight and this does make a bit of a hassle because you can't really tell whether your CW light is really CW or NW. I got a yellowish tint where i compared my LD41 to this light (around the 600lm settings) and this light doesn't put out the CW you get from other lights and whether or not i actually have a NW is up for controversy. According to other reviewers, they got the same thing with the CW version of the light. The box shows CW and the instructions as well but it's still tough to say. NW is easier on the eyes and should not reflect as much as the CW in which case i had the setting on medium on my arm and there was a definite reflection glare coming back at me so i assume my light is definitely CW. Even if it was neutral white, it really doesn't make a huge difference other than the NW will seem less bright.So the mystery of whether or not i got a CW light may not ever be solved unless i get a NW light to compare it with. It may also be possible that amazon buyers may be buying both and returning one with the wrong box so when it's resold, the buyer kept the cool white but grabbed the wrong box to return the neutral white version. Either way i'm impressed with this light.Edit: Putting in a fully charged set of Duracell Ion Core NiMH batteries definitely proved to me that i have CW. You can really see the glare, the previous batteries were a set of Eneloops that only had 1.23v when removing them from this light, which apparently was not low enough to trigger the low battery warning. I assume that would happen if the voltage goes down under 1 volt (for each cell) but you will notice a slight difference in performance on Turbo and you will start seeing glare more often when the cells are charged. Amazingly though even with the lower voltage the TN4A will still put out quite a lot of light

Simply one of the best flashlights I have ever owned. Liked it so much I gave one to my best friend as well. If you are comfortable with Lion batteries and have a good charger the size weight advantages offer many "better" lights. However, this light is not all that large or heavy and does feel nice in the hand. The size also has a significant advantage if you want to run it on higher output for longer times. Not many 18650 lights can put out as much light as this for extended periods without running into thermal throttling issues.The UI is excellent! I would not have thought so until I spent enough time with it but now I get it and it is genius! Your in the dark but don't want to loose your night vision or disturb your SO sleeping, just hold down the power button and you get a wonderful moonlight mode. Your in the dark and hear something in the distance simply double click and get over 1000 OTF lumens! Most of the time I use mine on low so that is typically what is stored in the memory. Simple click turns on to memory. Holding when on will always step down first then cycle up through mid and high. Sounds dumb but actually this really is a nice way for it to work.I chose the Neutral white and it is very nice. Good beam pattern with excellent flood and throw beyond 200 meters. Very nice balance between flood and throw at all levels. You can tail stand it and light up a room very nicely with a great tint.Yes the batteries fit tight. Yes if you drop it the light may stop working. This happens because the batteries loose contact from the fall and the tightness of the holder prevents them from re-establishing contact. Not a big deal once you know that all you have to do is re-set the batteries. The first time I put batteries in it was quite difficult. I don't understand that now as I have changed them many times and it was only really difficult the first time.Not a problem at all to carry in a winter coat pocket. The holster would work well for those that have to carry for work. For pocket carry I have better lights. For a light to have on a nightstand or by the door I don't have anything better. Have no hesitation to recommend this light.

I've given up on the giant baton torches, I wanted something small I could fit in my pocket. This torch is quite small and fits in my hand nicely - see photo, and also fits in the pockets in my coats and jeans. It has a belt holster, but I never use them and they do make you look a bit like a wannabe superhero with a utility belt. My old maglite is more like carrying a 18 inch assault baton - and never gets used anymore despite having been upgraded to LED. It's too dim and too big and too heavy. This torch is short, squat and small and pocket size.It feels very well made. I was a bit bothered that it didn't have a focus or zoom ring like my old Maglites, but actually, it doesn't matter or need them and it's one less thing to worry about. Nothing rattles and the whole thing just works well. I find I forget how to change modes - but randomly double pressing and long holding the power button normally gets the result I want. There is a strobe mode - which I don't like - but I guess it has specific use cases and will stretch the battery life out.The center of the beam is nice and smooth and the reflector has an orange peel pattern on it which diffuses it. In turbo mode, it seems brighter than my car's headlights - and will drain the battery super quickly. The electronics inside seem to work well and if you are at risk of overheating, they reduce the brightness.What I was unprepared for was the performance on FireFly mode. In what my kids told me was the most boring science project ever, I loaded the torch with 4 standard Eneloop rechargeables (in my tests, they were holding about 2100mah each, and turned the torch on in FireFly mode. I wanted to see how long it would run for.To give you some context, FireFly mode is what you can use outside when your eyes are fully adjusted. It's enough to follow a path, or read a map. It's also not going to blind you or others if the beam ends up in their eyes. It reminds me of the light from my old cycle lights in the olden days before LEDs and Alkaline batteries existed.I had been expecting the torch to run for a few days. However days became weeks, and weeks became months.I left this torch on 24x7 for THREE MONTHS NON-STOP!!!!Now I do recommend you load this torch with Eneloops for three reasons:1) Eneloops have a great capacity - especially the PRO version allowing for even longer runs - more than many alkaline batteries;2) The Eneloop batteries can release that stored energy at full whack meaning your torch can run at max brightness (making them also great for high powered camera flash guns too);3) The Eneloop's self discharge rate is very very low. If you don't use the torch, after five years, they will still have 70% charge left. I wanted this torch originally to keep in my car's glove box for emergencies. I discovered a long time back that most rechargeable batteries are useless for that use-case, so one either buys environmentally damaging single use ones, or buys Eneloops and saves the planet and one's pocket.The torch's support for both AA alkaline and rechargeable batteries means that you also have the best chance of buying spares or finding them around your house if you ever need them. All camping shops, garages and supermarkets will have these. Many of my other special torches have special batteries and chargers in stupid sizes.Another feature liked was the battery module can be inserted either way up. ThruNite have put the power connector on both ends - so it doesn't matter.I still just can't get over the fact that this torch ran 24x7 for three months on one set of batteries. I was going to try it with the Eneloop pro batteries, but to confirm this would take me four months, and I like using this torch and so that is a challenge for somebody else to undertake.

I purchased this torch mainly for its turbo function as I required it for checking on livestock out in the fields after dark. However, the turbo function is a bit temperamental and won't work with the brand new Duracell Ultras that I have fitted. Occasionally when on low power, after several double clicks, the turbo might engage and then the 1150 lumens of light is awesome.To my surprise, this chunky torch with awesome throw, has fitted in perfectly for another function at the complete opposite range of the lighting scale.In addition to low, medium, high and turbo power, there is a very low power called firefly and this is just what I require when I get up in the middle of the night to check on the children. It gives out just enough light to make your way around the house safely without waking everyone up.When we had a power failure, the torch on high pointed at the ceiling lit an average sized room just like an electric uplight.I am really happy with my purchase, particularly for the broad applications offered by this torch.It came with a wrist strap and a case and it uses AA batteries. I hope to get better performance from the turbo function after experimenting with different types of batteries. I will probably try the rechargeable AA Eneloop pro batteries next which I use for other high drain applications.

This small pocket sized thrunite tn4a nw (neutral white) torch is great i use aa bty 3000mah rechargeable batteries with it which work great the torch fits nicely in the belt holster that came with it which all fits nicely too in your coat pocket if you are out at nightime walking the dog or even in checking out something in your back garden the thrower on it is amazing for such a small torch it works quite well for nightime reasonably well lit street areas but the more darker the area the better & be carefully not to point it through peoples windows as the thrower is that good & bright & for around 1150 lumens & £42.00 it is worth getting one for yourself i carry mine around with me in jbl hardcase clone with 12 extra bty 3000mah (16 batteries in all - well you never know when you might need them) which i have a uniross intelligent superfast charger which charges four of them in around 30 minutes also checkout youtube videos of this torch to get an idea of what it can do, also checkout videos of the thrunite tn36 ut cw (cool white light) which is 7300 lumens & the nw (neutral white light) which is about just about 6150 lumens which i think i might be getting next, pricey yes but you get what you pay for i was going to get a skyray king which is 35000lm but all of that is fake lumens exaggeration after doing some extensive research on their torches so i'am staying away from those torches. I have checked out other torches from videos on youtube such as olight, firefoxes ff4, acebeam & ohers thrunite torches but to me thrunite seems to be the best so if you want one for yourself after checking out something of the videos for yourself on youtube then you won't be disappointed for yourself if you do but do what i did by getting it from thrunite themselves as you know that you are getting the real deal torch that you want, i'am happy that i did.

This is a beautifully engineered and presented high power LED torch at a reasonable price. I like the side mounted activation button and it is very logical for direct access to several modes - 1 long press (only 1-1.5 seconds) for the lowest setting (ideal for internal; night time navigation), a normal press for the lower of the 2 medium settings (normal torch power) and a double press for high power (a LOT of light which will illuminate a vast area outdoors). The beam is about 80 degrees and fairly even except for a 10-15 degree hot spot in the middle. On high power this brightly illuminates road signs over a quarter of a mile away (and probably much further but I could not move them!). The light from the Neutral White version is noticeably warmer than my Led Lenser 7.2 but it looks fine and not too yellow (or green). The battery carrier, like the torch, is crafted from aluminium and fits perfectly. Every element of this torch appears very well made and it feels like it will last a lifetime and take some punishment along the way.I ordered mine when I spotted it in the last seconds of a flash sale and sadly returned it when I realised it would not quite meet my specific need - I would LOVE to have kept it but I just could not justify it. However, I guarantee you will not be disappointed with this and if you want more power, you must either be slightly crazy, lighting a midnight football match or cutting metal. I have 2 ThruNite torches and several other brands and I am very impressed by ThruNite generally. Hope this helps prospective purchasers.

Just.Wow!I have seen a few reviews for the Thrunite TN4A Torch on You Tube, so was hoping it would live up to expectations. The item was delivered extremely quickly, (despite the best efforts of the "Stealth Postman;" who nearly got away with leaving just a You Were Out when we called Card) and arrive well packaged; the Thrunite cardboard box within an Amazon cardboard box and in good condition.The actual Torch / Flashlight is very well made, quite a solid feel and weight to it, even withought batteries. I really like the fact that this model runs on ordinary AA cells or rechargeable NIMH AAs so not using special Lithium Batteries.is a plus in my view. So, with 4 AA batteries inserted into the holder you hold down the positive feeling side switch and you Get Moonlight mode, probably enough light for some simple tasks in Tactical Conditions.. Continue holding the switch down and it cycles through Low Mode - OK, Medium - Nice, probably enough light for most tasks, then High Mode - an almost insane amount of light, then double click into Turbo mode - OMG! Nuclear Fission is taking place in your hand.. Any dark room his hit by a blast of daylight! A further double click will get the panic inducing strobe mode activated.This is one incredible flashlight and the LED rated to last for 20 + years, this item is hard to beat.
