You bought two dern good lights today. The TN12 at $30 is a steal.
Now when I checked Illumin, all sold out! After I bought it yesterday, there were 4 left. Good thing I didn't decide to wait!
But took the light out for a midnight stroll for fun after fully charging the new batteries...and boy do I love this light! It did what I wanted from a light. On low, it's dim enough to not blind me. On high...boy it's bright. The brightness combined from the good spill/flood (?), in my opinion, is what I love. When walking around, it lights up everything in a good area instead of just a tight, small area.
The different levels are pretty good to me (even though I don't see myself using the turbo level much). If prefer if I long press the mode button that it bring me to the firefly level as I won't use the strobe mode at all...but that's just being nitpicking.
The only thing I'm getting used to is the neutral white, since it's my first one. The "yellowish" tint makes the light seem not as bright. But the colors is nice and not cold. I think I'm just not used to neutral white yet.
Any ways, my journey to look for the first real lights started beginning of November. I'm glad Illumin had a good sale on the TN12, which made me just decide to finally try a 18650 light. Now a whole new category of lights are opened to me instead of sticking only with AA and AAA lights. Now I have a Fenix E12, 2 Nitecore Tubes, 1 Rayus C01, returning one defective light, a Thrunite TN12, and finally a Zebralight SC5w (coming in the mail). Of course also ended up getting 2x 18650 batteries and the Nitecore D4 charger. Right now after the TN12, I feel completely satisfied and hopefully I won't get more lights...for now... ;-)
