Thrunite TC 15 2300 Lumen Flashlight Review

[@billace90]

I have that same light in black color for the last year. Very impressive. It is now my favorite EDC, so much power (and throw), on a small flashlight. I highly recommend it.

[@MagicPrepper]

I first saw this light on Kotaboy32's channel. I really like it but, I wish they offered it in a tail switch.

[@joshuachilders129]

We tail switch... everyone gas their preference though, I guess. But, if you haven't tried a side switch, you should. I never want to go back to a tail cap.

[@dandyer8351]

Amazeing considering the size of the thing. 250lumin is good enough for most tasks

[@patricj951]

Good review! Thrunite is my favorite flashlight brand and TC15 my favorite Thrunite. I have one black and one MT Outsider(the model in this video). Perfect user interface and mode spacing. Personally I prefer traditional knurling and the pattern of TC15 unfortunately does not help enough for the grip with the black model and the light is a bit slippery. But MT Outsider with it's bronze(I think it's called desert tan) is not only better looking: the bronze colored surface is a bit matt and provides more friction so it's not slippery like the black model! I recently ordered another TC15 MT Outsider. Personally I prefer neutral white and when it's an option I always choose it. Therefore all my Thrunite flashlights and headlamps are in neutral white.

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

A solid light for sure, and 2300 lumens is sweet!

[@TomasFaalPetersson]

That's not their logo, its the logo of KZbinr Outsider

[@heartlandhawk4513]

Yep! Cmon Sootch. That's the Youituber "The Outsider" version of the TC-15

[@cadwarrior]

Received mine today, excellent flashlight!!

[@Kolby9241]

Picked up one yesterday. Replacing my Armytek partner C2 after the cree xp2 led snapped in half. This one is definitely really nice. Love the button feel and all the extra goodies for maintenance that come along with it.

[@gear_addicted]

This tree has been beaten a lot with flashlights...

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Looks like my Olight M2T Warrior. This Thrunite flashlight is pretty Cool for the price point an the features that comes with it. Thanks for showing it, Sootch00 an as always long live the republic my friend !!!!!!!!!!

The TC15 weighs 4.3oz with the clip and battery installed. Not 8.4oz.

@@Thankful_n_Grateful Your dimensions looked ok. I have the TC15 and it is under 5" long. I think their weight is packaging and all.

[@jimwaldron6828]

Great review Sootch

[@roscomcfarland204]

Got mine about the exact same time. Edc carried it till it literally quit working. (Btw if I mess with it it’ll turn on purple ish where the led is supposed to be) thrunite got around to sending me the TC15 V3 as a replacement and I don’t like it as much. A lot because of the color way but I do not like not being able to remove the tailcap

[@vinss3971]

Hello from France, thank you for this video. In the video from 3 minutes to 3, 30 minutes what is the color ? natural or cold lighting ? Thank you so much. Great videos continue like this 👍🏼 🇨🇵 🇺🇸

[@rustyfisher2081]

Looks cool white to me

[@derektodd4126]

Great review of a good product Sootch. But I'm just an out & out Olight fan. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.

[@SensiblePrepper]

Thanks Derek! Olight has been my Go to Light for years and that hasn't changed, but it's good to see other quality options. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of Thrunite and it held up well, plus the price is right! I still have an Olight in my pocket as I type.

[@bryanandres6326]

Hello good sir, If you’re willing I would buy that neutral white light for a little more then retail? Also will pay for shipping? Please let me know Thanks

[@subaruforester5062]

The new olight m2r pro is a defense light you need to look into

[@libertys_warrior3431]

Most of my lights are all OLIGHT but I have a few thrunites wowtac lights which are pretty good not as good as Olight but cheaper to

I have lots of olights but my Thrunite shave been nothing but flawless over the years. Especially my old beater Archer.

Amazing light, I prefer side switches anyway. But I'm not a combat warrior ninja gunner. My new EDC light!

[@kikoi15]

wow! i like this in natural white variant

[@MarcinVoyager]

Makes me wanna buy it 👌🙂

[@frommanhattan42]

On the website is a bit more confusing. They have a TC 15 V2, and a TC 15, both come with either “cold white” or “Regular white”. I can’t see the real differences between the V2 vs none V2. (Beside the none V2 beam can travel 20 meters further) Please help?

[@MajorC202]

Much respect for your reviews as always, Don. Admittedly, however, that is no Olight. 😉

[@SensiblePrepper]

Thanks Major! It's good to see other options and this Thrunite really impressed me . Of course my Olight is in my pocket and will stay there.

[@ryguy3687]

Is this flashlight able to stand upright/vertical on it's bottom side?

[@johnutpatel4982]

Nice video, where are they make and do you have a link for purchase.

[@MagicPrepper]

They're made in China

Yeah, they are Chinese made and there's a link in the description. Thanks John.

[@derektodd4126]

They may be made in China but are top / first class quality.

Was gonna order one. 2 hours after your video Thrunite website says product no longer available. Oh well. I guess not today! :)

[@mistress24099]

Jim Gillespie it’s there as a preorder. When you go on their website scroll down to the bottom of the main page, click on flashlights under the category column. It will be in the 4th row down on the right side.

@@mistress24099 Thanks! I will get back on the website and take a look. Like I really need another flash light! ;) But this one packs a lot of punch in a small EDC package! Plus, gotta have the tacti-cool tan color! :) Well heck, still says unavailable? I will give them a call tomorrow.

[@Thankful_n_Grateful]

Can battery be overcharged? If leave on USB charger more than 3 hrs required to full charge the battery, is there risk of damaging battery or fire? If left on USB charger for 5hrs is that safe? If left on USB charger for 10 hrs is that safe? Will circuits in flashlight stop charging once battery is full?

[@craigs7181]

No risk of damage. It will stop charging once the battery is fully charged. The led in the switch will turn blue when fully charged. And it doesn't matter if you are using the protected battery that comes with it or an unprotected cell.

[@miguelortiz7302]

Can you adjust the beam? Or it’s just flood?

[@patricj951]

It's fixed beam and has a smooth beam with a punchy hotspot.

[@kevinsmith9142]

I hate my TC 15. The first one that arrived wouldn’t charge. Got a replacement one and the light acts like the battery needs to be charged everyday. My use was minimal. I replaced it with the Olight Baton Pro. I’ll give up 300 lumens for a flashlight that functions properly.

[@travis4378]

I dont know about the TC 15 as I dont have one, deal breaker for me on the baton pro was, you only get that 2k lumens for 1 minute......no thanks! Currently have the m2r warrior pro In desert tan. I like it, but this light is almost 1/3 of the cost. Decent deal if you ask me.

[@wesleemiller]

[@youtubefields3917]

I'm looking for one of this level with red light. Anyone knows one ?

[@andrewkim6037]

Too bad the end isn’t magnetic, but the price sounds pretty reasonable.

[@SAVY_JAX]

That seems like a really nice light for the price. But I’d rather pay twice that for the OLight M2R Pro Warrior. This one has some very nice features though. Would be a good choice for just about anyone.

[@chgofirefighter]

M2R doesn't hold a candle to the Fenix PD36R, had the M2R Pro and the Fenix, returned the Olight asap! Also, Olight has a plastic lens vs a real glass.. Lastly, the proprietary charging is not that great! So go ahead and pay "twice" the money but do your homework FIRST! I did!

Stock piling up on beans, rice, Ramen noodles. 9 meals later they all have diarrhea and are throwing up, but will Buy a pretty flashlight for hundreds of dollars? Is your bug out vehicle a Corvette? Where is the common sense in that?? 🤷‍♂️ I buy what I am uses to eating day to day, and I have never spent more than $20. For a flashlight ...

and you'll get $20 worth of reliability. It'll be dead before you throw up that first cup of ramen. And it's only 49.00, not hundreds of dollars. SMH.
