Hi All, so I got a Thrunite TN12 way back. I think its either the OG or a V2, its the one with a black rubber button for the brightness selector.
TBH, the format has been perfect, never *needed* more / less (well a lantern, but the the Nitecore lr40 is perfection)... The only thing could be of a little use is very occasionally head mounting...
My main thought is just around newer emitters, anything I'm missing from newer lights?
I'm quite invested in 18650 format, I LOVE my Maglite 18650 Cells (ax64338 models), everything is perfect about them - so I'm bonded to a single 18650 format.
Things I like, really like, and need:
-A low low, the TN12 has a 0.5 firefly mode, need something like this.
-A usable low or medium, like circa 100lmn not to kill night vision,
-something upper like 400 plus, you can use to light a small / medium room by pointing it at the ceiling
-Neutral White! Even better, a high CRI too. Really. Allergic. To. COLD. White.
-Tail stand, or a least some way to put the light on a flat surface pointing at the ceiling. I manage with TN12 OK.
Not vital, but important
-Other than showing off, never used the turbo mode, kills night vision too much... nice to have I guess tho.
-I like something not dedicated to either throw or flood, something in between, can be slightly towards one or the other, but something around the middle zone.
-The simpler the UI, the better. My wife will have to use it. It took awhile to teach her how to use the TN12.
-NO DOUBLE LOCK OUT! This is for sure a recipe for disaster with my wife.
...Maybe my ideal light IS the one I have here... my TN12... Or a newer TN12? Heck, its even been free diving (Yep in sea water) a few times with me... It just works.... and works.... and works - it wont break!
(PS, I wouldn't risk my Maglite 18650 cells free diving... just in case!)
