I never get tired of these videos, i even watch the same ones over

[@ChalliceofLight]

Your vids are so informative!

[@disturbedpatient425]

I'm asking because I just purchased the Thrunite TN42, I want to make sure I get the right batteries, thank you

[@archades54]

Would the xhp35 beat HID in spotlights for offroad vehicles?

[@no22sill]

what a beautiful and peaceful place you live in

[@jamespalmer9556]

Are you using 14500 bats in the little guy? Or AA

[@lavazza8031]

TN 42 est un avion de chasse ? es ce qu il y a plus puissant en portée au même prix ? dommage que les test ne son pas fait a 500 mètres et 1000 mètres ,1200 mètres réelles mesurées

[@eclairagepublicalarmeincen4018]

Is there a limited number of primers?

[@thorosthoros243]

Awsome review man...!!

[@mrbigbigtoe]

I have HID high beams in my car lolz I sorta wish I could compare the brightness with this

[@patricj951]

I have TN42 XHP35. And I find no reason to replace it with the successor TN42 V2. The new model puts out much more lumen but throws just a bit further. And it has a large stepdown at turbo after only some minute, while the older provides almost stable output for more than one hour. V2 is bulkier and heavier as well. Thrunite TN42 XHP35 still rocks: it throws better for extended period than the successor!

[@JS-te4gz]

Are you Jesse the body Ventura???

[@mineinspiron]

great review! I had 85W HID before and really dissapointed with the throws. The bulbs takes a minute to reach maximum brightness and dead soon. Maybe less than one hour of run time. Next time I will pick LED thrower.

[@disturbedpatient425]

I sure hope you can answer my question soon, will the Panasonic NCR 18650B protected button top batteries be used in the Thrunite TN42?

[@scannerguy1968]

Sure will. That is what I used in the vids

[@disturbedpatient425]

scannerguy1968 Thank you

[@johnkennedy9078]

Comparing the TN42 or K70, is the one that's known to have better reliability or quality to them? Or are they both about the same in regards to longevity and quality control?

[@scannerguy1968]

Yes they are. The k70 gets hotter though. But has case and ring switch

[@disturbedpatient425]

I have seen countless reviews of flashlights, to me personally, the Thrunite TN42 is the farthest throwing flashlight I have ever seen, still waiting for Amazon to get them back in stock, the website says they will be back n stock February 1st, (crossing my fingers), another good video brother

[@scannerguy1968]

Thanks, Did you look on Thrunites website?

[@disturbedpatient425]

scannerguy1968 Got it from Amazon, I'm supposed to get it this Friday, can't wait to see how far it throws, from watching your videos, I bet it's mind boggling seeing it for real and up close, thanks for responding, I appreciate it, you rock man

[@perryhaen2164]

OTTIS YOU DAM SURE DONT ROCK ! DUMB ASS

[@disturbedpatient425]

Perry Haen what the hell did I do to you peanut?

[@disturbedpatient425]

Perry Haen I'm on here discussing flashlights and you call me a dumb ass? What's up with that? Don't let that mocking bird mouth overload that humming bird ass peanut

[@robertjohnston8531]

My 35 watt HID out throws your 85 watt by a large margin, though it uses a 12 volt battery and the reflector is twice the size and no adjustable focus. Most adjustable focus lights are horrible.

[@georgecostanza2695]

Damn that Thrunite can throw!

[@disturbedpatient425]

I hope you can answer this soon, I just received my Thrunite TN42, I put the batteries in, negative side on the spring coil, it's not working, my main question is, do I have to charge the batteries first, or are they already charged? Really disappointed

[@scannerguy1968]

Did you get the rechargeable? I would charge the batteries 1st. If it still doesn't work you could have a dead battery. Test each one in a different light. If a battery is dead or something wrong with it you will never see the green light on a charger while charging

[@disturbedpatient425]

scannerguy1968 Yes, I got the rechargeable, I talked with Panasonic yesterday, they said the 18650 rechargeable you have to charge first, charging now, will let you know, once again, thanks for responding

[@disturbedpatient425]

scannerguy1968 So bummed out, batteries fully charged, nothing, sending it back to Amazon, gonna order directly from Thrunite

[@hudsonwalters3268]

You should do a vid on the carbide gocart agian

[@IamMugs]

Anyone ever tell you that you sound a lot like John Goodman? You need to do a video with some one-liners from the Big Lebowski

[@Shahyan008]

chicagotransam he does,

[@johnkennedy9078]

Dude, you mean Jesse Ventura??😄

[@gunlover067]

I still like the Ace beam the best it's an awesome light the Hid didn't even come close!!! Good review of the different type lights I will have to purchase the ace beam k70 it is bad ass!!!

[@disturbedpatient425]

gunlover067 I've read that the Acebeam gets hot real fast compared to the Thrunite

[@scannerguy1968]

It does. But not sure who runs on turbo for 10 minutes straight. In time you'd think this would hurt the life though. Thrunite runs pretty cool compared to it at 5 minutes

[@ivandivan1881]

It turns out that the led bulbs are more brighter than 85 watt torch ?! how do you think about lemax lx 70 superpower and wicked lasers torch ,it says the lemax cast the light 4500 m but i doubt about it ,it is halogen bulb ,how do you think ?:)besides that wicked lasers torch is a bit dangerous

[@scannerguy1968]

Just looked up the lemax. That thing is a beast and am sure with that size head it will punch further. As far as wicked laser lights. I think the head is way too small to do much for throw. Same problem with this 85 watt i used.

[@johnkennedy9078]

@@scannerguy1968 can you please recommend for me 4 batteries in the $35 price range? Kinda hard to find on ebay

[@Gadgetdad007]

What is your number one favourite flashlight on the market right now ?

[@scannerguy1968]

+Darren Lynch Man that's hard. The one I use most and rely on is the Atactical a3s. Seems to have perfect balance for output and super battery life. Hopefully will have the thrunite reliability as well. But that is just for my everday carry. Competition is too close to have one favorite

[@josegonzalez6089]

what do you think about acebeam L16 can you make a review

[@scannerguy1968]

I'll have to get ahold of one. It is about the same as the EC60 I reviewed but smaller battery

[@FreakzRitual]

I've been dying to get that thrunite tn42 if not the tn40 I want both but can't afford it but one day I will I recently purchased the utorch ut02 from gearbest so that might be my best thrower light i even want the AceBeam k70 but there will be always a better light to come out i can't keep up with them all

[@scannerguy1968]

I hear you. I'm going to sell off one of them. Haven't decided yet which one though. Then wait for the next big thrower to come along

[@sonny9546]

I think this 85w hid flashlight is not really 85W output

[@Yoel_Yasharala]

Seems the K70 has a slightly brighter spill light, while the Thrunite 42 has a slightly brighter throw light..

[@scannerguy1968]

+Troy Smith (TecNeek) exactly

[@chankenneth4231]

What if you see something you are not supposed to see while testing the flashlights👀

[@ranna942]

nahhhh.....that hid flashlight was big enough and more than enough to send to hell that thing he's not supposed to see.

[@disturbedpatient425]

Just wanted you to know, my Thrunite TN42 arrives tomorrow, I'm excited as a virgin on prom night, my wife wanted to know where I heard about the flashlight, so I showed her the video of you doing the review, she said should she be mad at you, I so no hon, he's just the messenger

[@disturbedpatient425]

Oops, said

Hei: Tn42vn90 (5500lm) 1.2mcd 2190m range throw vs Tn42vn (2400lm) vs Tn42 Video Have...!! Need KZbin.. video to see..Pls... Urgent... ( Hei... Where is yr Video..!! )

[@CANADA-fq9fh]

TN42 is superstar for sure

[@itanamullik]

The Stanley looks brighter than the hid

[@savollo]

Who's fuckin cat was that at 6:19 and 7:06 ?

[@MacquarieRidge]

These no name 85 watt hid lights are massively overrated in the lumens department. Their real output is more in the 3 to 4 thousand range. If you want a good hid get a henlin 3570

[@themarksmanABP]

I have the original TN4A. Beast of torch considering its a AA

[@mannixjohnson597]

Scott Mathieson *Can the TN4A use 14500 cells, or only AA's? And have you tried Eneloop **_Pro_** AA's in it? Eneloop Pro batteries are the best recharchable AA's.*

[@WrithingGuitarist]

HID is dead, too much drawbacks compared to LEDs.

[@disturbedpatient425]

WrithingGuitarist I agree, just imagine in the next few years

[@hoxhaloo]

HID is far from dead. In high power applications there are no theoretical limits on how powerful an HID light source can be. Xenon/halide lamps range anywhere from 10W to 18kW and xenon lamps go as far as 24kW. With LED's however you'd quickly run into problems such as cooling the thing. The lighting fixture would be absolutely gigantic both by size and weight.

[@shark2434]

agree, totally dead

[@georgecostanza2695]

As far as handheld flashlights go, current led technology has hid beat hands down... in terms of weight, output, instant power up, durability, and variety of power sources. However, hid still maintains advantages in other applications such as area lighting.

[@raydornbush]

@@hoxhaloo HID Flashlight's, spot lights, searchlights or anything else can still very much hold there own with LED weather it be in a handheld application or even a high powered application like you mentioned... I agree. I'm pretty excited to see where the Light Excited Phosphor technology, or whatever you want to call it, is going though for sure.
