One year on I’m using mine to walk the dog every night. It amazes me every time I take it out, you can’t help but shine it into the distance at every opportunity. Pocketable, great battery life and so so bright. A++++++++++++
Another good review by scannerguy including reporting on the heat produced by this flashlight. I purchased a catapult V6 on the pre-order deal and I'm very happy with the throw of this small Palm sized flashlight. But I have to say that the amount of heat that this flashlight produces is incredible. Not only does it produce an insane amount of heat that transmits to your hand but it heats up very very quickly. Even on the high setting instead of Turbo it still produces an inordinate amount of heat. Of all the flashlights I own(and I own plenty of them,including many thrunites) this catapult v6 produces the most heat and in the shortest period of time bar none
polarweiß lol. Did you ever try the D4 on full power ? Takes like 10 seconds until it hits 70°C on the outside. No joke! Many people say its the biggest dragster out there.
As Gender says. The x80 makes this feel like a Popsicle. I've had way worse than this. No doubt it gets hot but seems to level off whee others you almost get burned
I have that FatMax by Stanley and I can say from personal experience that it is amazing. It’s extremely durable too. Definitely recommend it for anyone who is looking to buy one. I love mine.
I have a huge collection of modded V54 Lights and I bought a stock one of these 2 weeks ago and it is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Vinh tested a stock one and got 1900 lumens and 825 meters of throw. Nothing comes close to the performance of this little light especially for the price and kudos to Thrunite for offering it with cool & warm emitters. I have a TN42vn spec 4 on the way and I can't wait to try it. 5500 lumens and 2,190 meters of throw.
I have one and love it! I never even really need the turbo setting and high is usually more than enough. Most of the time medium is enough. Insane throw!
That is one of the most well done videos I have ever seen. Geez, talk about covering all the bases! I have to get one of those lights. Thanks for the vid.
I've been hunting a good thrower to use on my boat for navigating at night and checking for floating debris and after watching this review, I went on and ordered one with the 20% OFF coupon, can't wait to see how it works for me. Thanks! I look forward to watching more of your videos now!
Ordered. With the coupon you mention it’s $15 cheaper than amazon! That like, never happens! So pumped to take this thing out and about! Excellent review!
One thing that i like in this flashlight, is that is not full laser thrower (and i like it very much), it can also light more than the hot spot area( at least in the video i saw this), and i think it will be my first thrower that can also light more enviroment than the hot spot that is made to light up. Plus you make very detailed videos and you help me a lot every time i see a video of you, so i must suscribe to your channel, is the less i can do. Excellent job sir.
Finally just ordered it. Been threatening to for a while ever since I first saw this review. Didn't have a "need" for it. Then remembered "needing" one means its too late. Excellent review. Purchased based off of your video and through your link. Thanks.
I thought this was the best video ever made on UA-cam on these particular flashlights the music and you walking it was like watching a science fiction movie it was so cool
Well I just put that light in my Amazon cart, used your Amazon link from below. Thanks for mentioning it runs as a night light. That's what pushed me over the top. Good video, as always. Purchase will occur on May 3.
I picked up an Astrolux FT03. $35. 990M throw. SST40. For all my lights, whether 18650 or 26650, I like to charge the batteries externally and have them prepared to swap out. No need to plug light itself in.
Your reviews are awesome. Tons of real life beamshots in great environments, lots of stuff we need to know, and your delivery is casual and comedic. Keep up the great work.
I bought it I bought it I bought the new model oh my God it's amazing I can't believe it it is so freaking awesome what a thrower thank you for turning me on to the catapult v6 😎❤️🖐️👍
Nice that you have embraced the Metric System! Now we are understading perfectly the distances, and value of that light. :-) Allso a nice touch to edit in the Daylight shot of the Scene, so we know how far things are. :-)
I just bought the Thrunite Catapult V6 recently and it is a very bright flashlight. The only thing I don't like about it is that even on high and not Turbo, the thing gets hotter than hell if it's on for any length of time.
The thrunite v6 is sweet. I Bought 3 one for my dad and two for me . Just like the blf gt is the best big throw and the v6 is the best smaller throw I'm happy with both one in each hand and thank you for your videos love them
This is a freaking amazing video you made with that background music it's almost like watching a science fiction movie you're walking out there with that light shining that light everywhere oh my God it's all unbelievable unbelievable 👍🖐️❤️😎
Really cool thermal test! Not sure how much difference it makes but I've heard that your blood circulation through your hand dissipates some of the heat when you're holding the flashlight.
I see all of these flashlights claiming 1,000-4,000 lumens but they just don't seem as bright as they should. I have a 240 lumen LED Lensor and it does great. Its bright! So, some of these numbers out there just don't make sense. Like this, this one seems like a true 1700 lumens. It's brighter than the 4400 lumen flashlight out there... I am purchasing this one. Great for the woods.
You are awesome there's nobody doing videos like this this video is amazing you out there shining that light at night I thought it was a freaking movie on amazing man that light is amazing
This is going to be the best video on UA-cam on this flashlight what a great company like I said but you made this very interesting with the music in the background it looks like something out of a science fiction movie space Odyssey there are way the beam is just super bright and looks like a laser bean you're flashing through the sky really awesome thank you for sharing this wonderful video 👍
I just start learning these modern flashlights. I don't know what do you guys want and learn from these new flashlights. For me, if the flashlight is bright enough for me to walk and the batteries have to last for hours. I hate one of my flashlight which is the brightest one ever but the batteries last 10 minutes with full of charge.
This light is nice, but I don't know why a lot of chinese manufacturers don't make the brightness level more consistent like going from 180 > 360 > 600 > 900, rather than jumping from 180 lumen to 900 lumen. What a waste of battery. What if you're close to an object and don't need 900 lumen brightness? Wouldn't it make more sense to allow users more control over the brightness to save battery? from 180 lumen = 9 hrs to 950 lumen = 165 min. If Thrunite made it 360 lumen, you can save or have more runtime hours and the same with 660 lumen before hitting 950 lumen. I sent a suggestion to thrunite and told them to change it. It would be wiser to use a dial or stepless brightness to let the users decide how much brightness they want. Sofirn does that. Either break it down into multiple brightness steps evenly or make a stepless version. Likewise, the thrunite tc20, which uses the xhp70 led, can beam out at 3800 lumen, but the company uses an orange peel reflector, which is great for flood, but why didn't the company make a smooth reflector version at that high lumen? Wouldn't it throw at a more greater distance than this light which is only 1700 lumen with a smooth reflector? Companies need to think things more intelligently/efficiently, rather than just make a product. Don't just design a product, but think carefully and make an awesome product. Haikelite for example, has not just one version of its flashlight, but multiple versions of the same model like: a smooth or an orange peel reflector. Let the consumers decide what's best for them. I'm sure after I complained to thrunite, it will make a new version and maybe with more steps of brightness; something that the engineers should have thought about in the beginning. Confucius once said "Life is really simple, but people insist on making everything so complicated".
I got a light from a buddy in Texas he had some custom BLF GT70.2 built for NASA with the XHP 70 and custom board with 8,000 lumens...... It lights up an entire light tower from a mile away...... But the Thrunite Catapult v6 fits in your pocket and it throws a couple of hundred yards without difficulty...... That BLG GT 70.2 is on Budget Light Forums for a group buy now....... Thanks for the video Scanner !!!!!
Love your videos! Very detailed with many beamshots and statistics. 100% will say you encouraged me to buy the Acebeam X80. Thanks for the amazing review! Looks like I'll be adding this light to my collection soon
I just bought a flashlight from cabelas made by led lenser. It's 1000 lumens for 9 hours. This light your showing runs for 9 hours on 180 lumens. It's not much more either, an even $100. It has a focus, its waterproof, and its rechargeable. It looks smaller than the one your reviewing as well. It has a 7 year warrenty... kind of blows this one out of the water.
kylemcgeever That runtime at 1,000 lumens claim is BS. It may start at 1,000, but quickly will drop output as it heats up and battery life diminishes. See here:. www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/6idm6b/led_lenser_mt14_too_good_to_be_true/#thing_t1_dj5e9fv
I bought it I bought that flashlight and you were right if anybody doesn't buy it they got to be crazy that freaking light is a thrower but on turbo Man it'll get hot got to wear gloves
I bought it when it was a pre-order from thrunite for $59.99. I love it and all thrunite flashlights , BUT , the drop test on a lot of their flashlights is very poor. I recently bought the TC20 3800 lumen compact light and it's also amazing. Just dont drop it too often. Otherwise it's a great light.
Bryan Resch All flashlights are high risk when dropping them. Those drop tests you see on UA-cam are controlled meaning the person controlled how the product landed. Under normal usage most drops are unexpected and undetermined how far they will drop and what angles they will land on impact whether on concrete or any other surfaces. I always use my lanyard and when I’m not used it I use a flex cord hooked to my belt which prevents me dropping it to the ground if I lose grip. The owner should always practice sensible use of their products. There’s a big difference between being damage proof vrs being damage resistant. The flashlight is 100% worth it and Thrunite offers a good warranty vrs past products and services. You can thank companies like Nitecore, Olight and Acebeam for creating innovation in companies like Thrunite.
I got a rare torch, i found it in a bush i was clearing about 10 years ago its called a sigma kelmit it takes 4 aaa batteries its led and has 2 brightness modes i cannot find a picture anywhere or even get close to it im thinking it could be a police torch of some sort its a blue ish light
I just bought the Olight warrior x pro and this flashlight in video beats the Olight warrior x pro and warrior x pro is alot more expensive! It's time to buy flashlights that are better than olight.
Hey Scannerguy1968, big reader on BLF, CPF and just bought the Acebeam T27 rated at 1180 meters of throw. I've taken it out into dark fields and don't get any useable amount of light past 350 meters, MAX. Do you have any experience with that light? I ask because I was on the fence between the T27 and the V6, and I chose what I did. Your shots make the V6 look like a much farther throwing light. It looks like the Catapult V6 is hitting the 500 meter mark down the road with plenty of light to see, even off the dark colored trees. Is it as bright as the camera shows with the naked eye, or does zooming in with the camera have a significant effect in allowing you to see that area? Here is a video I took last night with the Acebeam T27. The distance is 313 meters, the video shows the amount of light I was seeing with my eyes. I would hardly call it useable light, its about as far out as the beam reaches. Trees are still dark at that distance. I definitely appreciate your time, and awesome reviews, I watch them all the time. Video: ua-cam.com/video/m66ouRJF1ZM/v-deo.html
This light falls into the category of light I am looking for right now, but I've just had such bad luck with Thrunite in the past. I've had 3 Thrunites die on me so far. One was dead on arrival and replaced, the other two developed switch problems later on. I'm not sure I want to chance buying another one. Great job on the video nonetheless.
Man that's weird. Every Thrunite I've had holds up. My go to light is still the old Tn12 2014. I've dropped it many times. Washed it twice. Did you contact thrunite at all.
scannerguy1968 Even though I've had bad luck in the past with Thrunite, I just had to try this light so I ordered one. I really hope it holds up because the specs are perfect for what I need. Thrunite batteries have been great for me, it's just been issue with the older style switches (clicky style). This seems to have an electronic switch which I hope is more reliable.
Hi, what are the detailed controls option? I know that when i hold it, i get light, medium,, high...then double click, i get turbo. Then double click again, i get strobe. I lost the manual. Thanks.
I'd never purchase another mag lite ever again I've lost a lot of money on em only 2 find they're absolute garbage but the thrunite lights, nitecore, streamlight, fenix are my choice of lights, nice review!
It’s a fantastic flashlight no doubt,but unless your in total darkness somewhere like next to the woods no street lights then I’m sure it’s that bright and have an incredible throw. I own the same flashlight and mine is nothing like that,thrunite catapult v6,it’s in cool white. Maybe it’s me,just saying.
Sweet thanks guy. Going to get one for work. I use a stream light HL 800 lunem I going to buy this one hope the bulb lasts . Did you find out how long the bulb lasts and if it’s shock and water resistant. Also find out the shock results and how many charges the battery can take and if you can keep it in the charger without mess up the battery. Thanks again.
where can I get mine repaired I need a new led driver and charger board and how do I get it apart. Please and thank you. I love this flashlight please help.
I was told that turbo only lasts a few minutes then steps down in power by a lot. How long have you left it on in each mode and how long will it last on each of them?
complicated mfer Not really. Good searchlights for helicopters can light a diameter of up to 76 meters from a distance of 1km! That’s more throw (and bigger) than everything else.
Amazing video. I like how you edited in daylight and night time to give us an idea. Thank you so much.
One of the few well done flashlight reviews on UA-cam showing actual brightness differences and good perspective.
I love this guy. He knows how to do flashlight comparisons!
So does Matt Smith ,throw hound and everyone trying to make it big on here
One year on I’m using mine to walk the dog every night. It amazes me every time I take it out, you can’t help but shine it into the distance at every opportunity. Pocketable, great battery life and so so bright.

Greg S you should try the Emisar D4 or the Acebeam X80 (emisar D4 is worse). Portable immersion heaters :D
polarweiß lol. Did you ever try the D4 on full power ? Takes like 10 seconds until it hits 70°C on the outside. No joke! Many people say its the biggest dragster out there.

That was cool how you went from dark to daylight! Very cool idea!
I have that FatMax by Stanley and I can say from personal experience that it is amazing. It’s extremely durable too. Definitely recommend it for anyone who is looking to buy one. I love mine.

I have one and love it! I never even really need the turbo setting and high is usually more than enough. Most of the time medium is enough. Insane throw!
Wow, at last a decent review.
It's great to see a switch between nighttime and day so we can see the distance properly. Well done sir
I've been running a Catapult V6 as a rabbit and fox light for about 6 months. Other than the stupidly hard to locate on/off button it's a winner.
That is one of the most well done videos I have ever seen. Geez, talk about covering all the bases! I have to get one of those lights. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks. Put some effort into it
Finally
Someone who puts these lights in great perspectives
Yep I have the Stanley fat max for couple years . It rocks. On the low setting it last along time
Literally the best review of any product I have EVER SEEN
I've been hunting a good thrower to use on my boat for navigating at night and checking for floating debris and after watching this review, I went on and ordered one with the 20% OFF coupon, can't wait to see how it works for me. Thanks! I look forward to watching more of your videos now!
Just received mine today from amazon prime, can't wait for the sun to set
Awesome little light! Added one to my collection about 1 week ago.
Great job. You really show the throw we can expect from this light.
Ordered. With the coupon you mention it’s $15 cheaper than amazon! That like, never happens! So pumped to take this thing out and about! Excellent review!
It gets hot as hell real fast! I saw your test, I stand by what I said.
John Smith if you’re on high and turbo. I found that most of the time i use the light in medium mode because its more than bright enough
One thing that i like in this flashlight, is that is not full laser thrower (and i like it very much), it can also light more than the hot spot area( at least in the video i saw this), and i think it will be my first thrower that can also light more enviroment than the hot spot that is made to light up. Plus you make very detailed videos and you help me a lot every time i see a video of you, so i must suscribe to your channel, is the less i can do. Excellent job sir.
Thank you for the comparison shots. Especially liked that you showed us the landscape during daytime vs night shots
Finally just ordered it. Been threatening to for a while ever since I first saw this review. Didn't have a "need" for it. Then remembered "needing" one means its too late.
Excellent review. Purchased based off of your video and through your link.
Thanks.
It's a keeer thats for sure. Nice light
I thought this was the best video ever made on UA-cam on these particular flashlights the music and you walking it was like watching a science fiction movie it was so cool
By far this is a bad ass flash light ty for thoroughly testing it . I bought it right after watching this review.
Well I just put that light in my Amazon cart, used your Amazon link from below. Thanks for mentioning it runs as a night light. That's what pushed me over the top. Good video, as always. Purchase will occur on May 3.
I picked up an Astrolux FT03. $35. 990M throw. SST40. For all my lights, whether 18650 or 26650, I like to charge the batteries externally and have them prepared to swap out. No need to plug light itself in.

Damn! the beam, it looks like a freaken lightsaber
Great job. Especially doing the daytime shots showing the same views.
The thrunite v6 is sweet. I Bought 3 one for my dad and two for me . Just like the blf gt is the best big throw and the v6 is the best smaller throw I'm happy with both one in each hand and thank you for your videos love them
Your flashlight reviews are the best. I just received my TC20 yesterday. I ordered it after watching your review. And this catapultV6 is next!
Hey I watch you doing metal detectors too I thought you did a great job now you're doing flashlights I like it
That Was an amazing presentation, i love flashlights and im getting this thrunite NOW. Thanks for the video man.
This is a freaking amazing video you made with that background music it's almost like watching a science fiction movie you're walking out there with that light shining that light everywhere oh my God it's all unbelievable unbelievable 👍🖐️❤️😎
Those day light shots are an awesome idea. Great video
Really cool thermal test! Not sure how much difference it makes but I've heard that your blood circulation through your hand dissipates some of the heat when you're holding the flashlight.
I bought this light after watching your video lol
Me too...lol
So how do you like it after 6 months
@@99SVTBolt its ok. Gets hot. I dont trust it. Lol.
Buy a cheaper spotlight
Best way to test is on a really long road with lots of street sighns they reflect the light well

you know that 900 lumens is not 450 lumens times two right. it isnt a steady ramp.
Actually they are smart enough. Xhp70 can't be focused properly, and is focused worst by smooth reflector.
@@sunitadhyani1013 Yeah its pretty dumb saying companies dont understand it when you clearly know nothing about the subject.
@@polarweis agreed
When tou click " read more" and instantly regret it
It would be interesting to see you do video filming the complete runtime on Turbo, showing how hot it gets throughout the cycle.
: ) Tyler
...And how long the battery truly lasts.
May do that. Good idea
ive been having so much fun with my BLF GT turning off street lights at night lol, but now I want this flashlight too
that sounds very illegal with what u doing..

John smith do the street lights come back on again after you stop shining the flashlight on them ? 🤣
Think that's fun hit the sensor with a high power green laser it not only turns them off they stay off
Great review, although it would have been nice had you mentioned how long on turbo before it starts to step down. My guess is around 30 seconds max.
Love your videos! Very detailed with many beamshots and statistics. 100% will say you encouraged me to buy the Acebeam X80. Thanks for the amazing review! Looks like I'll be adding this light to my collection soon
That's not a flashlight! It's a damn lightsaber! Just ordered it! Awesome!!!
I am torn between thrunite tn15 and the v6 catapult
It looks as bright as one on a search and rescue chopper.

Lol
Just ordered one. Great review
Awesome review! I'm sold. I've been holding off on buying a good small flashlight but this is it. Cool tunes during the presentation!Thanks you!
Think this will be hard to beat size for size until someone comes out with a better emitter than the xhp35
3:22 light saber

Now we need a comparison with the Convoy C8+ XHP35 HI or SST20.
I just bought the Olight warrior x pro and this flashlight in video beats the Olight warrior x pro and warrior x pro is alot more expensive! It's time to buy flashlights that are better than olight.
Would really like to see it compared side to side with the Acebeam EC60!
Nice detailed review, they are only getting better! Keep it up!
I know, I gave the ec60 to a friend. WIll have to borrow it back and see. But pretty sure the V6 is going to outdo it due to the larger reflector.
Never doubted it would, just curious to see by how much! If it is worth buying the V6 when i already have the EC60 =)
I own this light and it is a light saber. And for $75 it is affordable
58mm head diameter is a little bit too much. 50mm or lower is acceptable for me.
Hey Scannerguy1968, big reader on BLF, CPF and just bought the Acebeam T27 rated at 1180 meters of throw. I've taken it out into dark fields and don't get any useable amount of light past 350 meters, MAX. Do you have any experience with that light? I ask because I was on the fence between the T27 and the V6, and I chose what I did. Your shots make the V6 look like a much farther throwing light.
It looks like the Catapult V6 is hitting the 500 meter mark down the road with plenty of light to see, even off the dark colored trees. Is it as bright as the camera shows with the naked eye, or does zooming in with the camera have a significant effect in allowing you to see that area?
Here is a video I took last night with the Acebeam T27. The distance is 313 meters, the video shows the amount of light I was seeing with my eyes. I would hardly call it useable light, its about as far out as the beam reaches. Trees are still dark at that distance. I definitely appreciate your time, and awesome reviews, I watch them all the time.

That flashlight litteraly becomes a laser
This light falls into the category of light I am looking for right now, but I've just had such bad luck with Thrunite in the past. I've had 3 Thrunites die on me so far. One was dead on arrival and replaced, the other two developed switch problems later on. I'm not sure I want to chance buying another one. Great job on the video nonetheless.
Man that's weird. Every Thrunite I've had holds up. My go to light is still the old Tn12 2014. I've dropped it many times. Washed it twice. Did you contact thrunite at all.
scannerguy1968 Even though I've had bad luck in the past with Thrunite, I just had to try this light so I ordered one. I really hope it holds up because the specs are perfect for what I need. Thrunite batteries have been great for me, it's just been issue with the older style switches (clicky style). This seems to have an electronic switch which I hope is more reliable.
Hi, what are the detailed controls option? I know that when i hold it, i get light, medium,, high...then double click, i get turbo. Then double click again, i get strobe. I lost the manual. Thanks.
I'd never purchase another mag lite ever again I've lost a lot of money on em only 2 find they're absolute garbage but the thrunite lights, nitecore, streamlight, fenix are my choice of lights, nice review!
U rock man. Ive got both of these that u compared to. Exactly what I needed to know! Thanks guy
It’s a fantastic flashlight no doubt,but unless your in total darkness somewhere like next to the woods no street lights then I’m sure it’s that bright and have an incredible throw. I own the same flashlight and mine is nothing like that,thrunite catapult v6,it’s in cool white. Maybe it’s me,just saying.
Macho Man lives :) ...great review, thanks
Snap into a Slim Jim
Me and some friends got this light off your video yours has to be special ours don't compre
Sweet thanks guy. Going to get one for work. I use a stream light HL 800 lunem I going to buy this one hope the bulb lasts . Did you find out how long the bulb lasts and if it’s shock and water resistant. Also find out the shock results and how many charges the battery can take and if you can keep it in the charger without mess up the battery. Thanks again.
Be Very CAREFUL or you might catch the trees on Fire with that light LOL
where can I get mine repaired I need a new led driver and charger board and how do I get it apart. Please and thank you. I love this flashlight please help.
Wow amazing video amazing light would agree interview I got to have one
Awesome bro... thanks for adding a maglite too the mix ☺
Wow sold!
I was told that turbo only lasts a few minutes then steps down in power by a lot. How long have you left it on in each mode and how long will it last on each of them?
best review on your channel right here. well done!
I love flashlights
You picture is on the Amazon site for this flashlight
Makes a helicopter spotlight look dim lol. Awesome review!
complicated mfer Not really. Good searchlights for helicopters can light a diameter of up to 76 meters from a distance of 1km! That’s more throw (and bigger) than everything else.
Can you do a side by side like this with this thrunite v6 and the tc20?
I'm sticking with Maglite, but it is cool.
