ThruNite TN30 Review (3 x XM-L U2 | 3 x 18650)
With the TN30, ThruNite has thrown down the guantlet and self-proclaimed it to be the "King of flood light" with a max output of 3000 lumens. We shall see if it lives up to that billing.
NOTE: This is the finalized production version that I will be reviewing (HKJ had previously reviewed a pre-prod one) MFG SPECS MSRP: $240 USD - LED: Three Cree XM-L U2 LEDs with a lifespan of 20+years of run time - Max 3000 lumen output using 3 * 18650 batteries - Level 1: 1 lm. 1200 hours; Level 2: 38 lm. 75 hours; Level 3: 352 lm. 10 hours; Level 4: 932 lm. 3.5 hours; Level 5: 1580 lm. 2.5 hours; Level 6: 2780 lm. 1.2 hours; Standby: 67 uA; Strobe: 2780 lm. 2hours - Working voltage: 8V to 13V - Max runtime: 1200 hours - Max beam distance: 370 meters - Peak beam intensity: 35000cd - Impact resistant: 1.2 meters - Waterproof to IPX-8 standard, 2M - 178.00mm length, 64.50mm bezel diameter - Weight: 559.80g without battery - Aircraft grade aluminum body structure - Premium type III hard anodized anti-abrasive finish - Ultra-clear tempered glass lens with anti-reflective coating - Momentary forward click tactical switch - Strobe mode for tactical and emergency use - Smooth reflector for max light output - Highly focused beam for maximum distance - Tactical knurling for firm grip - Streamlined body design - Mechanical reversed polarity protection design for battery carrier - Intelligent highly efficient circuit board design for max performance and long run time - Specially designed for Military, Law Enforcement, Self-defense, Hunting, Search & Rescue and Outdoor activities - Intelligent temperature controlled light output for user safety PACKAGING / CONTENTS The TN30 comes packed within a nifty metal box: Additional accessories included were: 1 x holster 2 x o-ring 1 x lanyard 1 x spare tailcap cover 1 x user manual 1 x warranty card DESIGN / FEATURES In order to provide you with timely info, I've created this quick high-level review of the light and will be fleshing out the rest of the review in the coming days:
(again, still a relative novice at making videos so apologies if they aren't good) SIZE / HANDLING L to R: NITECORE TM11 (v1.12) | Niteye EYE30 | Elektro Lumens Big Bruiser | ThruNite TN30 | ThruNite TN31 | XTAR S1 (Production) I elected to show how the TN30 compares to other 3 x XM-L with stout tubes but big bro TN31 wanted to tag along so in he went into the group pic. :grin2: There wasn't enough room on my desk to squeeze in an 18650 battery for reference but suffice to say these are all chunky lights, and the TN30 is on the larger side of the 3 x XM-L lights. MEASURED PERFORMANCE Again, in the interests of time, here is a quick vid on what I measured:
[NEW 5/2: Taking into consideration there is a factor for deviation with my PVC LMD but given the amount of lights I've measured and the % rate of error, I feel that what ThruNite has quoted which is Max of 3K lms and 2780lms for level 6 is within reason. Just be mindful that the 3K max is not sustained for long but despite the step-down L6 is within the ballpark as can be seen in the runtime chart below.] BEAMSHOTS Indoors (5m) L6 L5 L4 L3 L2 L1 For details of the above indoor shots and comparo vs. many other lights, please check Epic Indoor Shots Trilogy [NEW 5/2: RUNTIME The relevant battery stats are provided above each runtime graph along with: - Voltage of the battery at the start and end of the test - Current draw as taken right before the test - Actual runtime using ANSI FL1 (first in HR and then in M so for the RL3100 read this as 1.5hrs OR 91min) - Also for High, captured the temperature: ambient, the head at start and the max it reached (fan was used for all bats) As mentioned in my review, there is a soft ramp up as shown at the very beginning of the run. Also, there is a distinct step down of approx. 100 lumens after about 1 minute then it runs in semi-regulated mode for roughly 20mins before starting a gradual drop. There was a flickering at the end of the run to indicate low voltage. At this point, the TN30 was still putting out roughly 180lms. I'll conduct other cells as time allows but the quoted runtime of 1.2hrs was likely achieved using 2600mAh batteries. === Here is a quick preview and a temp check before runtime was completed:
