ThruNite TN40 vs. TN42 Side-by-Side

amzn.to/2e8Px6J

[@level600a]

I now have all 3 thrunite flashlights, the UT36 limited,the TN40s and the TN42,because of your reviews, moved to the mountains of Va need something for deep woods. and your review was spot on............love the lights. +++

[@SteveKluver]

A great video review. Thank you! I think it would be a good idea going forward, to mention the humidity level at the time of shooting these range shots. I know that 30% vs 80% humidity, really makes a big difference in what we see here from the video side, and to just how these lights perform.

[@meatstick6969]

Steve Kluver you're exactly right!

[@VCR1117]

You make great reviews! Helped me choose one of these powerful lights. I got the TN40s in February 2021 and has been a great light. I see the TN42 was revised o version 2. It seems very tempting now. But I do prefer extra spill at long range compared to a laser beam.

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Nice Comparison and review! That make the landing lights on a jumbo jet jealous knuckle bump to that. Nice field test on that.

[@livingsurvival]

lol ;)

[@ExploreNC]

Also the rings that come on the shoulder strap are cheap molded garbage pot metal and break like candy if you bump them , I replaced the 2 rings 1 on each end to ensure that my thrower didnt just come loose and smash to the ground .

[@alholsbo5934]

I gotta get the 42, I'm on the water a lot fishing at night & I like to spend a lot of time in the desert ( I know total opposites) this thing will be the boss at night when it's pitch black no moon 🌙👍👏🏻🔦🔦🔦🔦🔦🔦🔦🔦

[@LumenChaser]

Al Holsbo well said, that seems like the perfect places to use it

[@danielmende1304]

I got the TN40 an buy far the best flash light I've ever owned, the TN42 looks good tho , but with not even a little bit of flood seems point less for what I need

[@bryanr.3241]

This video is 4 years old , I wonder what lights are better at this point in 2020 ? Of course keeping with the same throw style lights. I still could not decide which one of these to get but , probably the 2000 lumen light. Thanks for the video

[@patricj951]

I have TN42 and it's awesome! I don't know if there is any better today, taking all things in consideration.

[@cirwo85]

Hey not to change the subject but what hair products duct do u use? I want to try it out

[@c.nicholson3536]

Thats a LOT of money in flashlights! Thanks for taking the time for the comparison! You definitely helped me make a better educated decision on which one I want to buy. Did you do any comparisons with these lights to the Nitecore TM's? It seems like the Thrunites will crush the tiny monsters......??

[@raise_the_black1]

@Living Survival. Where do you buy your batteries? I'm skeptical of buying them off Amazon with fear of getting some Chinese ripoff.

[@livingsurvival]

amazon or gearbest. i get the panasonic NCR18650B protected button tops. Or ones from olight, nitecore, klarus which are essentially re-wraps.

[@raise_the_black1]

Thanks for the advice man, love the videos. Keep them coming.

[@joekelly9369]

Loving that 42 for animal spotting

[@bendari]

The Amazon link for TN 42 is incorrect! Instead it's for the TN 32 not the TN 42!

[@davezito888]

Thrunite is kicking ass right now

[@eddieo9195]

I own both, and if I had to pick one, I would go with the TN40 over the TN42... It's the best of both worlds, great beam that has a more useful mix of spill and throw over the more dedicated thrower, the TN42... Both great lights, you really can't go wrong with either.

[@livingsurvival]

agreed.

[@ThPappas]

Especially now that they made one with 4x18650s and not the dedicated pack.

[@sixinline2509]

Which is stronger, both far and near?

[@Gadgetdad007]

The TN42 is the better of the two because the battery will last longer as it only has one led and when using a spotlight you don’t want any flood as you want to be discreet and to focus on the target intended. If you want a pocket rocket of a flood light then purchase the Acebeam X80 which complements the Thrunite TN42 perfectly. 👌

[@OneSvT]

Dazza you have any clue what you said

[@thomasmorse6692]

That light's a lot like me, not that bright but broad. Wait a minute...

[@livingsurvival]

lmao

[@BlazinBlades]

Hahaha 😂😂

[@GiriAlkondanSubbiah]

Nice video with good explanations. How does a tactical TN12 compares to TN42 search light. Would you please compare them out please

[@meatstick6969]

Giri Alkondan Subbiah what? They're two entirely different lights.

[@Hours-zi9js]

Does it have a twist on/off memory feature. Tn15,20 catapult have it but not my tn36

[@lrodd247]

hey Ben , nice light. I love they made it where we can use our own batteries! how does this compare to the acebeam k70? I've had my cross hairs on that baby but haven't pulled trigger. please let me know. peace!

[@livingsurvival]

the acebeam seems as if it would be just like the TN40. What i didn't like about it though is the tail clicky. No reason to have that on a light of this size.

[@lrodd247]

oh, ok. Thanks for response. Ya, pretty dumb to add that feature on a big as light. All they need now is to add a thick rubber o-ring towards the back so we can cigar hold the damn thing...ha!

[@WeatherPilot]

How strong and scratch resistant are the giant lenses on these lights?

[@patricj951]

I don't know. But it's indeed a justified question because such a large lens is indeed a very vulnerable part off the light.

[@mobetterg]

Hello from 🇺🇸Harrisburg Pennsylvania 🇺🇸 I’m. new to this 🔦Flashlight 🔦 field I just bought a ThruNite TN40 V2 Rechargeable LED Flashlight 4450 Lumens - off ThruNite web site for $192.00 My question is where can I buy a after market flashlight case for my brand new ThruNite TN40 V2 Rechargeable LED Flashlight 🔦

[@randommusicman9150]

That would be pretty handy for a portable spotlight

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Fantastic lights. Wow.

[@deanh1962]

Great video....done a great job....what is the prices? Where can you buy one? Is there a discount on these lights. I would like to purchase one.....great job demonstrating these lights....

[@livingsurvival]

the amazon link is in my description. no discounts that I know of although the one without the onboard charging is cheaper.

[@john47jones]

I know this is a flashlight review but what's that watch your wearing, looks as cool as the flashlights :)

[@flybirdclip]

Nice reveiew and beam shot is well present. Can the battery compartment interchangeable between TN40 and TN42 ? Thanks.

[@subway5411]

flybirdclip yes it can

[@margheritasalser4769]

which one puts out more heat? In the event of a storm and you need it for survival. Will it heat up kindling and twigs to start a fire? Light that intense produces heat, what are the safety measures to not burn your retinas? Thank you for the reviews :)

[@meatstick6969]

Margherita Salser the safety measure to not burn your retinas is DONT STARE INTO THE DAMN LIGHT!!! 😳

[@Transcendence87]

Hi bro.. first of all thanks for an excellent review. I have a request.. As tn42 does not comes with batteries and charger, could you please send me a link from where I can buy the best quality of batteries and charger for this flashlight. It's a humble request.. Thanks.

[@joeymcdonald4214]

best comparison on these lites

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Same technology with less lumens equals longer runtimes. This pleases me. How bad is it to use the 42 at close range? Does it give you tunnel vision?

[@livingsurvival]

On low it's not too bad but definitely better options for up close.

[@SuperBo4ka]

I really like your watch... what model ist it?

[@livingsurvival]

garmin fenix 3

[@rodneyshaw9472]

How long does battery last thanks

[@10SALEEM]

What is good cool white or neutral white thrunite tn42

[@livingsurvival]

Preference

[@joeymcdonald4214]

when shining long distance raise beam higher to get rid of the glare off the ground is my suggestion THX

[@web1187]

How durable are these is it like one drop and broke or they heavy duty ?????

[@livingsurvival]

rated for a drop of 1.5M

[@naqiongtradingllpnaqiongtr8035]

Thrunite TN40 GT "SBT-90 Die" 6000lm 2500m Throw range..., still haven't come out yet...OMG...!! ( Still Sleeping Thrunite )

[@michaeldanao7725]

Thrunite Rocks !!!, Great Review

[@fbmbikerider16]

man you must have the biggest collection of lights

[@danielb3132]

Price range?

[@scoopdedoop2673]

Ben, u aint selling out. forget the negative

[@livingsurvival]

haters gonna hate.

[@gavmansworkshop5624]

No option to buy in Australia and ebay only has the tn40. This sucks.

[@ThPappas]

buy direct from Thrunite and ask if there is the 20% price reduction.I did it for both lights.

[@Northisbest]

Gavman's Workshop Haha go Aussie. Did you get TN 42 ?

[@Yoel_Yasharala]

The watch looks like the Fenix 3, or the Tatix Bravo. It matches the flashlight big time.. :-)

[@livingsurvival]

fenix 3

[@nodoubt46able]

cool white or neutral on these ?

[@livingsurvival]

you can choose.

[@alvaroreyes8110]

should i get the TN42 or the Nightore TM36?

[@belovednada]

I have the nitecore TM36, it has already been replaced by the TM 38 with a farther throw, but its nice, the New TN42C has a built in battery and its less costly than the TM 38 by nitecore, they are all good choices

[@ExploreNC]

The battery packs on the tn40 and the tn42c was the worst idea in the world, infact i just checked online to see you you could even find the bp10 battery packs , i could not not even 1 single bp10 pack online including from thrunite !! Glad my tn42 doesnt use that trash !

[@nodoubt46able]

did you ever measure the tree line ?

[@nodoubt46able]

yawnnn.....

[@nodoubt46able]

slacker....

[@life.re-defined]

spot v flood.... can someone help me understand the difference?

[@life.re-defined]

@tim smith Thank you

[@FreakzRitual]

Wish I can afford both or even just one I'm a collector so it's bound to happen ... but the wife will kill me

[@alfredwilkie1251]

Wheres best place to buy a tn42c in uk

[@livingsurvival]

Amazon UK?

[@oscaropont]

WOOhoo , MORE FLASHLIGHTS!

[@SouthernSpeedVideos]

care to share what gear you used to record this review?

[@livingsurvival]

canon g7x and 80d

[@SouthernSpeedVideos]

Living Survival right on! thanks.

[@bendari]

Great comparison between the TN 42 and the TN 40. I like both but the TN 42 is a unbelievable Thrower! I will buy the TN 42 and man oh man It's going to be fun.fun,fun! Now where is my snipe hunting GUN?

[@longgunner7625]

where can i buy one of those?

[@livingsurvival]

link is in the description

[@longgunner7625]

Living Survival thanks. now the question is? which should i get. lol

[@dragonenergy4523]

Are you on blf or clf?

[@livingsurvival]

both

[@dragonenergy4523]

Living Survival can u do a spot to spot comparison to 85w hid, Convoy L6, BLF Shocker, Fenix TK70?

[@livingsurvival]

Keng Vang i dont have those other lights.

[@preppingforbeginners1347]

the tn42 I want to review it so bad

[@hman630]

I gave this Vid a thumbs up But id like to know how long it will go on a charge with normal use and id like to know how long that led bulb will last with normal use and id also like to know how fragile this thing is? will it break easy? $200.00 is a lot to pay for a flashlight . and one more thing Id like to know does it come with the batteries? or do I have to buy them separately? You mentioned something about it in your vid but it wasn't very clear to me. JKW

[@livingsurvival]

if you buy it as a kit it does come with batteries I believe. they have several different versions, you would have to check out their website. they are durable but as with anything if it drops from a high point or just right you could crack the lens. the body is very durable. runtimes are also listed on their website.

[@urielhernandez3435]

Living Survival which version do you think is better, the built in rechargeable one or the regular one?

[@remster1999]

Yes, flashlights!

[@naqiongtradingllpnaqiongtr8035]

Hei You have Acebeam w30 2500meter Throw range Video to show us....!! Is it World's Brightest Throw... at 2500 meter...!! ( HD Video Pls... Show us now.. ) AceBeam w30 vs Thrunite Tn 42

[@patricj951]

Very different lights. W30 is a super focused beam with no spill. TN42 has a bright very useful spill.

[@joeymcdonald4214]

the size and shape of the reflector, determines the lumens for the most part and that's with the same emitter.eg. the 15,000,000 cp thor has the same bulb as the 2 000 000 cp same brand

[@LumenChaser]

Very wrong... firstly the type of LED and driver supporting it determines the Lumen output and secondly the reflector is what determines the Candela or beam intensity of the light so higher candela= larger reflector

[@Antodraq]

Mr. Tn42 how much mr

[@Antodraq]

Im Indonesia ....

[@dbz739921]

Sunstar pinnacle p21 3800 meters

[@MrOldclunker]

Way too bulky physically and wallet wise to be practical. Glad you reviewed them as I am not interested in a flashlight built like a club.

[@livingsurvival]

yep, not getting this in your pocket.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

It amuses me how many people only think of EDC as use for a flashlight.

[@belovednada]

of course, lights like these aren;t for your pocket, but you can imagine how much fun it is to pull out of your trunk and search the sky and open fields at night, its a blast! and very much puts a different perspective of night. the weight and size of the units is part of the appeal

[@kevindurden2880]

$50 Fatmax does it for me

[@cozysummer]

This and Olight X7 Marrauder which one is brighter?

[@Coholbell15]

Cool just order both of them misses can take the tn40 🤫😂

[@nodoubt46able]

you can measure the distance on google earth in less than a minute

[@livingsurvival]

ahh..good idea.

[@dariocarafa3788]

I am a robot. listen to me talk about flashlights in a monotone voice; all the time. I am so excited about this giant flashlight but it sounds like I'm talking about quantum physics because that's how bored I sound. I love flashlights but I don't love emphasizing that point.

[@nodoubt46able]

guess not
