The King of POP

[@Razor6On3]

Matt has a great website to buy parts and a few lights of his own. Quality stuff.

[@Optiblue]

Thanks Matt, I went with the Tn36 Limited based on this review a year ago! It simply does everything well enough and like you said, it's all about the sustainable usable output. Many of super high output flashlights can't sustain their maximum for very long these ones included. But man, what the tn36 can run stable at blows away every other flashlight at camp! I even ordered the Samsung 35E for more capacity and it's fantastic!

[@thatplat1]

How long are you getting on High (8000)? In Matt's review, he said the light was 120F at 10 minutes. 115F is usually regarded as the "too hot to hold" threshold. Curious as to what you are getting.

[@Optiblue]

@@thatplat1 From high I dial it down by a 1 second ish hold. It should be at around 6k lumens and for me it's the magical point. The heat build up is still present but it can still be comfortably held after 30 minutes while still producing a wall of light. My brother ran it lower while tied to a tree for a camp flood light that that ran for hours just luke warm. There are other lights this size with more LEDS, but more means greater heat production. With 3 XHP70.2, this size is perfect for maintaining the temp.

Hay Matt thanks again for the C8 you sent me, it’s getting a lot of use when I’m fishing. Which is just about every night. I love it👍😬🔦🇺🇸🧀

[@kdanagger6894]

The jump in brightness at 9:02 is rather impressive. I can't see any reason to buy the X80GT at 2.5x the price.

i can watch you reviewing flashlight all my life

[@THEDRAGONBOOSTER8]

I would love one of the cheaper ones but I live in Australia and I just can't afford one ..Great video, looks like a great flashlight ..All the best..

[@nonjaninja4904]

Your channel is really fun to binge watch.

[@Northisbest]

This video make me smile cause I have one. Cons for me is 10 minutes later it bloody hot than hell I almost throw to the grass as my fingers feel burn ..I felt was let me down but fantastic daylight. I do indeed love it. I realise don't have to be turbo, I just turn half way down and it was pleasant nice...

[@uberunix]

Just made this the second light in my collection after the streamlight HL 5-X thanks to you :)

[@hullinstruments]

Jesus Christ, I had a chance to buy the X80-uV on eBay the other night for under $100. It has 20 of the most powerful nichia UV leds 365nm ever made, and it had 4 xhp 50s in case you needed actual white light to get out of the woods or something. I really could’ve use the hell out of that light but I missed the bid and it went for under $100. I’ll be kicking myself forever. I really need a powerful UV light, and I’ve pretty much reached the limits of what’s possible to buy or build reasonably. And that light would’ve really made my day!

[@scorch2020]

I have their tn32 old school pop can light been using it for 8 years! Maxes at like 3300 lumens throws plenty far

[@rectify2003]

Matt I bought an Imalent MS03 last month. The Turbo died 2 days ago, and not even a months use.

[@SomeLittleShoe]

That Thrunite's a beauty.

[@samjohnson517]

I paused your other video with the x80 GT on turbo2 and turbo to turbo looks like the tn36 has a lot more throw unless the cameras just not doing it justice

[@christophermitchellcasino4968]

Like these reviews. Most of these flashlights are way overkill for everyday use. A good 1000 lumens $20 flashlight is good enough for 98% of what the average person would need a flashlight for. That said, it's interesting to see the different flashlights. Now I don't need to go out and wonder what the differences are. TN36 seems like a good entry level super-flashlight.

[@himanologanor4093]

You can easily push this to 24000 Lumens with some tweaking. One Cree XHP70 can give 8k lumens at 12 Amps, but you must keep the ITC temperature sensor. Also you must use 40 Amps vaping cells cause of the 3 LEDs will draw 36 Amps. Making that driver handle 36 Amps will be lille challenging. budgetlightforum.com/node/57715

[@picklewiickle.1583]

I only own 2 torches Eagtac SX30L3-R Pro klarus xt11gt I think this triple led light looks nice.

[@AliasUndercover]

I ust looked at your store. I can change my 35 year old 4 cell Maglight into a real flashlight...wow!

[@trailsofthesmokies]

Thrunite is my favorite brand...

[@inoname99]

The heat is like the Mother Board on a PC, too much heat will have a negative impact on the LED. Question: At what point does the Human Eye losses vision. (500, 800, 1000, 3000 Lumen?) We keep increasing Lumen Output which creates more heat, at what point the eye stops vision)

[@sreekumarUSA]

Thanks, Matt.

Now there's sumtin you'll never see a tac light never do, excellent review Matt!😊✌️

[@Trekmario1701]

I love my thunight 36 ut .I hope to get this one . Great video.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

The Imalent DT70 is a better option. Insane throw from a pop can light. USB charging, OLED display, around 13,000-14,000 lumens, comes with cells, can be had for peanuts with a gearbest/banggood coupon code. Glorious tint from the shaved domes. Ufft!!!!

[@badboy43v]

I Own TN-36UT,Ace Beam X65 and Rovy Von A5 but what Started For Me Was SkyRay King.. -_-! Was gonna buy the Dx80 poor run time on turbo, same with MS12 and X70.. I really love the original X70 turbo output tho.. It was offering 40k lumens for 30 mints before step down...maybe I'll buy one when they can keep the turbo run time longer than couple of minutes,, these companies need stop going for high lumens, they need to figure out how to keep the flashlight cool for longer time..

You know what’s the problem with Thrunite? People outside US can’t get them anywhere. Banggood doesn’t sell them. Neither does AliExpress. And on ebay they ask twice the regular price. Also taxes....

That's not true, they sell in Canada and Japan too I believe ;)

I do like for reviewers to talk about the real max of lights because the brands will start design the lights better for heat. How about this though. The Q8 at even cheaper than the thrunite. At some certain time, could the Q8 have an higher out than both of these ?

Hi Matt! What's a great flashlight to put\clamp with a GoPro setup to spot\fload for night camera spotting of wildlife.. when I walk our dog I can catch. Deer, fox, opossums, etc!

[@benbraceletspurple9108]

Tn36 is longer, much more throwy although the paper-stat says it throws less far, and with an icecube the Acebeam will stay @8k for close to 90 minutes.

[@benbraceletspurple9108]

And yes I run my flashlight tests with an icecube cause I only use flashlights for that long when it is rolling snow outside.

[@WillEDC]

Ben Braceletspurple have you guys tried with a wet napkin to see how long ? I was trying to think how to boost the duration from normal things you may have on you. I had one an experience to walk a 15 min on a dark trail to get home after we are stuck at cafe because a tstorm. I thought great. My wife didn’t think so great. So I ran my d4 pretty high for her comfort but not the comfort of my hand hahah So i was thinking in an emergency situation , how can we increase duration or comfort. I was thinking wrapping the head with a napkin and just run water on the napkin. It’s ok and you can get more minutes. The best way is actually to carry multiple lights and just rotate between the 2 as they get unbearable to hold. So 2 is 1??

[@benbraceletspurple9108]

@@WillEDC the d4 is great. It has a tactical mode letting you push past the normal thermal limits. In a risky situation you can use it that way. I can do a review for you some time soon and post my estimate with a wet bandana. In real emergency you can just use the 4k lumens and just turbo it when necessary. Also the 8k mode seems to have a timer but I'm not sure I'll do more tests. It is very hard to tell when the GT steps down. Your eyes just don't catch it, even in surrounding standard background light. Except turbo max which jumps down quick and gets it's hottest. In real life as I said I don't run around with 8k or even 4k lumens. Except very dire circumstances when I will use a thrower anyway.

[@WillEDC]

Ben Braceletspurple that’s true. As you get into the higher lumens it’s harder to discern even between 1000’s of lumens.

[@benbraceletspurple9108]

@@WillEDC yeah. And also with use it is less necessary to sustain that much.

TN36 against ebay 26.99 15 led pop can light???

[@kdanagger6894]

I'd like to see Matt review one of those too. I have the Gibbon "13,800 Lumen" popcan light with 16 T6 emitters and for the price ($31 - Amazon) it's not bad. I also have the TN36 limited and it definitely blows it away in output. The Gibbon looks to be around 3000 lumen at best. The Gibbon does feel well built and also has a nice e-switch and green on-off indicator that changes to red when batteries are low.

Hello, keep pushing High Lu-mens, too much power higher heat destroys the LED/Power Source. What is the Usable Visible light. You want an all around flash light: Mag-lite LED. The more you justify the IC Controlled Lights (Luxeon) these new light have a great potential. Some Law Enforcement Agencies use them, such as Surefire, Streamlight, O'Light, Fenix, Nitecore. You get what you pay for. I have not heard anything about quality, endurance, terminal light out-put. What is the usable Lumen Output The Human Eye Can Perceive? Thank You.

[@Yaxez]

But but sir, what about my BLF Q8 with a wonky UI that has a mind of its own sometimes. Blink blink, errr.. I mean wink wink. ;)

[@mortuus4601]

blf q8 is amazing, and still 5000+ lumens is more then enough from a soda can light.. i never understood why anyone would want the acebeam x80... way too much lumens and price over 200 dollars.

[@faizrahman7671]

Matt is this the kind of light I should consider to have in the car and use for emergency usage. The only light I have for house is my maglight conversion I did with u last yr. I just want something reasonable that I can buy 3-4 of that I can toss in car and have it be reliable

[@Lumencraft-]

I've not had mine long enough to speak to long term reliability yet. Thrunite as a brand does seem to build good quality though. If you keep this in the car I would definitely use the mechanical lock out (turn the body) to prevent accidental turn on.

[@faizrahman7671]

@@Lumencraft- OK cool.. Might look for something a bit cheaper esp if I'm gonna buy 2-3.. I need to go thru your list. I don't care for all the different modes.. Just on and off is fine.. I still can't figure out how to set the maglite one I got from u. Its fine tho. Bright is good

[@JohnJames0204]

What does the limited means anyways? Is it limited in production numbers or limited in output or..? Isn't this just the same TN36 with upgrade emitter and a slight lumen bump?

[@JasonWW2000]

It's just an updated version of the original TN36. I assume they didn't want to give it an entirely new number designation. The original uses XHP70 and has stepped brightness levels with 7300 lumens max. This newer version has 70.2 emitters, uses a new ramping style user interface and has 11,000 lumen max.

[@pabbip9]

What is the best/brightest hand held small flashlight that you would recommend. I need something that's not to big in size but needs to be super bright. A built in charging port is a big plus! Thanks for and recommendations I really appreciate it!

[@benbraceletspurple9108]

After you get the Emisar D4 (4,300 lumens), you can look into the Nitecore tm03 (2700lumens), and acebeam L30 (?2000-3000??) for slightly larger. The Klarus xt11 x is also over 3000 lumens. All these are somewhat small and ridiculous in output.

[@Lumencraft-]

If your looking to go smaller than a pop can light what ben said is a good choice. The Emisar D4S is also out now www.nealsgadgets.com/products/emisar-d4s-26650-4300lm-high-power-led-flashlight?aff=4 If you want a charging port too the closest thing I can think of off the top of my head is Astrolux S43, but the output is more like 2000 lumen. I have not tested either of those in person yet so my recommendation of both is only by reputation at this time.
