Thrunite TT20 vs Fenix PD36R Which flashlight is better for you?

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Good to have you back. Btw, I was not notified of this video.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Hi Bjorn. It seems a lot of folks are not getting notified. My own fault for not posting I guess lol. Take care.

[@jesusmorales-yn9vb]

Thank you for your review, I just bought fénix PD36R great flash I’m very happy with my purchase

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks for watching, awesome light you just bought👍

[@denisantoniazzi9844]

Hey there, those are nice toys you've got there buddy! I personally wouldn't adapt to the dimmer switching feature, so many options would get me lost on closing one! I've got my Fenix Pd36r after your review on it, and I am still pretty happy with it, Cheers!

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks for watching again my friend! The Fenix light is a winner for sure!

[@phillipcsandoval9094]

Amazing review brother! Just subscribed. I have many ThruNites and will keep the collection going:) Thanks so much !

[@Woodswalker1965]

Awesome, thanks for the sub!👊

[@michaelg1816]

I like the TT20 except the ON switch is a side button. A sure way for it to turn on in my pocket and drain my battery. This doesn't happen with my Fenix PD35 so I may upgrade to the PD36R. I'm still looking for something brighter. Thank you for the review. Very helpful.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks for watching! I have the PD35 it’s a great light!

[@rootstriker1618]

Get the Felix tk16

[@labodaleatherlabodaleather5734]

I had the same problem with the TT20. It got sold quickly as I could not put up with it! If thrunite would have recessed the button like on their BSSV4, they would have had a winner. To bad. 😢

[@hikingwithrosy]

Wade! You're back! 😀 I really like that gradual up and down so you can set it exactly where you want it, plus no fiddling around stepping through modes to get to the one you want. Now I've seen it I wonder why more flashlights don't work like that! Good clear review Wade, thanks. - ATB, Mark 👍

Thank you! I’m not totally sure if this light will lock out, but you could flip the battery when it’s in your pack to prevent accidental engagement. Take care👍

[@Piscinescrevier]

I carried and used my fenix PD35 2014 edition (960 lumen) almost every day for 6 years lamp and the original battery STILL WORKS GREAT!!! but now I prefer the Fenix ​​HM61R WHICH IS REALLY MUCH BETTER! the beam is much better oriented, the lamp is smaller, lighter, more powerful, it has an integrated red light, an integrated magnetic charger, a magnet to attach it to a metal object (and its hold very very well even on a car door at 100 km/H it holds!) and icing on the cake (Quebec expression) it comes with a super comfortable shoulder strap to make it frontal! believe me it's THE BEST EDC LAMP YOU CAN FIND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND BETTER!... it is very solid resists immersion 2m it hangs everywhere you will have your hands free! believe in my experience... HM61R best EDC!

[@Woodswalker1965]

Hey David thanks for the great comment sounds like you put your lights through their paces! “Icing on the cake” is common in Ontario as well😀

[@ibrahimqari9189]

I will take PD36R it is better-built quality and it has longer runtime because it is very efficient. The Thrunight products sometimes if you drop it, it will turn off for a while!

I’m not sure if you mentioned it, but the discount code works on thrunite.com but not on Amazon.

Nice review on the TT 20! Curious how long does it stay on Turbo before it steps down. also Is the step down time or temp ?

Nice review Wade. I like the Fenix Flashlights that I have & tried getting a PD 36R last year but it was out of stock. Never did get a new light. I do like a “Firefly “ setting on a light & Fenix doesn’t have that, also like the user interface on the Thurnite TT20. I don’t really like a lot of features on the tail cap with a larger light, on a small AA or AAA it doesn’t bother me. I will check out the TT20. Thanks buddy 🇨🇦

[@ANDYMCNET]

You said you will use the turbo a lot but I woudent recommend that as it will burnout like my TT20 has and now it wont turn off, thrunite haven't replaced mine yet and are not being too helpful. my TT20 was a birthday present and is only 6 months old because it was a present I have no purchase details so thrunite wont help? Unless they pull their finger out I would not recommend this TT20 as a present its meant to have a 2 year guarantee and they haven't made this torch for two years yet so its certainly still under warranty and they know this? Probably many of their torches end up being presents so this is not a wise move from thrunite i feel in keeping a loyal customer base as i was 100% thrunite but now watching this video to see what other companies make as might be time for me to move away from thrunite. (Very disappointed) P.S. my TC12 was in my pocket as my EDC for over 4 years without issue but my TT20 is dead after 6 months hummm. =)

[@Woodswalker1965]

Sorry to hear about your issues with Thrunite, I would suggest to keep trying. There is a serial number on the light, perhaps that can give them a sense of its date of manufacture. Thanks for watching👍

Although I’m 9 months late… hate to hear your light went dead on you. For this reason I don’t buy Klarus lights anymore because I had 2 of their renowned lights (XT11, XT11GT) die on me. I’ve since had the Fenix pd36r on me and it hasn’t let me down.
