ThruNite TN42 V2 Flashlight Kit Review! TN42 vs Nitecore TM39 Night Shots!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Here is the latest from ThruNite with their TN42 V2 flashlight kit. This dedicated thrower is amazing and its because its sporting the Luminus SBT-90.2 LED. The spill area is very wide and hot spot is super intense. Also this is all made possible because ThruNIte included four 21700 cells which will give you all the power needed plus very nice runtimes on turbo. This uses a powerful wall Type C charger to quickly get you back up and going. Solid and rugged build quality is what you come to expect from ThruNite which they deliver here with the TN42 V2. The TN42 V2 easily out shined my testing area as well. I did a comparison on turbo against both the Nitecore TM39 and the ThruNite TN42 V2 to cut thru the chase. These both have excellent runtimes and light outputs are close as well with the TM39 @ 5200 lumens vs the TN42 V2 @ 4848 lumens. TM39 is rated @ 1500 meters while the TN42 V2 is rated @ 1860 meters. Please tell me what you think of both these top notch dedicated throwers in the comments below or who you thought did better.

Thanks for watching, Take care!
Excellent review, thank you! For my money, I’d have to go with the Nitecore TM39 Lite.
Thanks for watching!
I own both the Thrunite TN42 V2 and the Nitecore TM39 and like them both for different reasons, they are both great throwers! I like the 4 21700 batteries of the Thrunite and the fact they can be swapped out during an expedition but the Nitecore is a different beast with up to date screen technology, ok the power pack gives great runtime on a hungry beast but the disadvantage is when it dies you can’t swap it out, probably should have opted for the lite version, still one of my favourite flashlights and I’m a fan of throwers.
Thanks for watching!
Cool. Just a small correction. When speaking throwers only, warm white is the better choice. 3000k or even 2700k. Blue light scatters way more in the atmosphere than red light. That being said, there’s only so much warmer you can go before you start losing lumens… I believe around 4000k is a pretty good compromise. That’s why I chose the NW BLF GT when it first came out.
Actually 6000k-6500k is ideal for dedicated throwers for it offers the most lumen output over the NW version. You can see much farther with CW than you can NW. I, myself love the 5k which is best for most conditions both in flood and combination beam patterns. Thanks for watching!
Hi Ernesto Tabujara from the Philippines. Ive had the tn42 since 2019 and the catapault v6. The main features of thrunite based on my personal experience are the extreme wide spill. Even if these lights are throwers the spill makes them usable even at short to med ranges. The other feature i like about thrunite is the very efficient use of battery power, they last very long without need for recharging. Great review Charles im getting one for myself.
Thanks for watching!
I have both of these lights along with the catapult, pro along with the K 75 2.0. You can’t go wrong with any of these lights to be honest. They all have their own characteristics in my thoughts with the K 705, 2.0 throws 2500 m, it doesn’t have a port to charge the batteries. Everything has to be physically taken out to charge the light. Also carrying around that K 75 2.0 it’s a tad big lol. Where as the TM 39 throws 1600 m, but with the short body and the easy fast charging capabilities, makes it a pleasure to use. Same with the charging on the TN 42 V2. And as you said, they hold their charge very well. The beauty of the TM 39 is the capabilities of running it on turbo for sustained times, which is much longer than any of the lights were talking about here. everyone of these lights have their own beauty to them. It’s preference. I’m happy to say I have them all along with another great light the Manker MK 35.-ll. if you get a chance check that light out it throws 2000 m and is pushing 1 million Candela, which is incredible for its size.
Charles, thanks for the great review. One thing that would be helpful in determining which is the farther thrower would be to show both side-by-side at your farthest targets.Thanks
Yeah these lights are big and I gotta hold the camera. Thanks for watching!
It's a really nice thrower, however I'm a Nitecore user. All my EDC, SAR, tactical and headlight have been Nitecore and still are.
Very nice review and comparison.
Thanks for your input and watching!
Charles you took great job every time you review a light and these two are no exceptions! For the money I would have a thrunite tn42 V2 over the other one. I would love to own one. I have a lot of flashlights owned by thrunite and this one would be good for my collection. But to be honest a little too expensive for me. Maybe one day I can afford one LOL very much enjoy your reviews. Please keep them up I look at all your thrunite videos. Sometimes over and over! To see which one I want to buy and I bought a bunch of them take care
Thanks for the kind words and watching! Merry Christmas!
I think the SBT 90.2 LED is the best thrower ever and a combination in that smooth reflector very big smooth reflector I think they have a winning flashlight right here that is a great great flashlight for search and rescue for spotting wild animals I think it's awesome beautiful lad thank you for sharing it Charles
YW! Thanks for watching!
Good review as always. I have the Catapult V6 with HXP 35 HI. For me it's the upper limit of a practical size light. I hear that the batteries are proprietary for this light from Thrunight for no good reason and cost twice as much. The light could be modified to function with different batteries byt you shouldn't need to. Thrunight used batteries with a positive and negative pole on one end, then added an insulating ring in the head of the light so the negative pole won't contact.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Thorlin
I missed that about the batteries.
Not a deal breaker, but something to think about.
They are not even list on the website as spares
My TN42 V2 will be here, tomorrow. I will be out of town!!!
Well you will love it. Thanks for watching!
I was doing a little job for the old ladies in the block and my TN42 V2 arrived at home, first time in 15 months I’d been out of the house due to illness and there it was stuck at my house 😩
I like that light a lot but I think I will stick with the updated version of the catapult V6. Thanks for the review.
Any comment on the lights in the video? Thanks for watching!
I love that light that's my favorite LED in it yes beautiful light this company really makes quality flashlights they definitely do 👍
Thanks for watching!
After buying a BLF GT90 along with the batteries it needed and a charger I feel like the TN42 V2 would of been a better value for money proposition. Would be a interesting comparison but I'd imagine there wouldn't be a huge difference. Great video and your welcome I like watching 👍😁
Thanks for watching!
The BlfGt90 is a lot heavier but it throws a lot further, I use a nearby church tower to check beam intensity it’s only 430 meters away but you can certainly see the difference plus my BlfGt90 will hold turbo for 20 minutes and the 8 batteries still have plenty to spare for a good day at about 3000lm afterwards!
@@shaunsmith7401 nice one. Yeah I did notice that because the blf is so huge it disperses heat very well through all that aluminium, doesn't get hot at all and the run time is great. Thanks for your feedback on comparing the 2.
I just bought a Thrunite TN42 V2. I cant wait to get it. This will be my 5th Thrunite.
Let me know what you think when you get it. Thanks for watching!
Just got mine today, how long does it take to be fully charged?
Hi Charles. I think that both lights are wonderful. I definitely agree with you that the spill areas are really important. I'm not a fan of the LEP flashlights or LED ones without a spill. You just really need to see what's going on around you as much as you can.
Also, I can get on board with your chuckle, because that's exactly what I do when you show the full power of these torches. Excellent review as always. It would be really useful to have a list of flashlights that use the SBT90.2 LED. Take care mate.
Thanks for watching!
These nitecore flashlights really are the best...
Thanks for watching!
Charles, I just ran your video on the comparison between the TM 39 and the TN 42 V2. I ran this video off of my QD Sony OLED TV and took photos of the night shots to the furthest palm trees . I could send you these photos but in the photos it looks and shows the TN 42 V2 has a tighter beam not as broad as the TM 39. This kind of surprised me but I’m just going by your night shots, and what I was able to take photographs off of on my QD, which is top-of-the-line TV set to be broadcasting these videos off of. so my conclusion from what I saw and what I took photos off of the screen the beam on the TM 39 is wider which is something I never thought would be. They’re both incredible lights. I have both of them as you know, but if I had a choice just because of design looks and duration of turbo it would be the TM 39. I still love my Thunite TN42 V2 wouldn’t give it up for anything lol.💪🔦👏
Glad my video helped. The TM39 beat it but not by much in throw but turbo really outlasts the ThruNite. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Charles it definitely runs longer on turbo it’s a much nicer design than the TN 42 V2. The TM 39 is my favorite light. It’s gorgeous easy to carry especially with the short body that I have. What I did was froze the frames when you were hitting the furthest, palm trees, and the palm trees to the right. They are both beautiful lights, but if I had to make a pic which I don’t thank God. Well, my pic would be the TM 39 to keep. Hey listen I have the K 75 2.0 love it just don’t like to carry it around as much as I like that TM 39. I just wish that for the price of the TM 39 that Nightcore would give you a proper box, to put that beautiful torch in😊
Using my discount, you can save all year long on any Nitecore flashlight.
@@CharlesBridgTecThank you Charles. We’re do I find your discount for purchasing.?
@@jlappin6277 Link is below in description box under my video
I have the predecessor with XHP35HI.
And I don't consider the v2 a true improvement. Much higher output on turbo and slightly better throw. But a large stepdown after some minute.
TN42 XHP35HI has almost stable output on turbo for more than 1 hour.
XHP35HI version puts out more lumens and has better throw during continious run!
Thanks for watching!
I owned a Thrunite catapult v6. I love the light but the downside is the body heats easily. I think the body and the heat sinking is to thin/thickness. Other than that its perfect. Nice review on the Tn42 v2
Thanks for watching!
You need to be more dedicated! Your body absorbs the heat and becomes part of the cooling circuit.
I prefer the Nitecore more , because of the spill vision and a little hotter throw beam. But l know the Thru-nite is much less expensive so it is a good value .
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review. I think this TN42 is the base standard that you'll want to start off with if you are stepping into the elite level throwers based on the SBT90.2.... There's a huge difference between the budget SBTs like the Convoy, Astrolux and Noctigon lights, versus when you jump to the Acebeams, ThruNites and Nitecores.... But if you're already stepping into the $300+ range, IMHO, with the minimal price difference, I would say the Acebeam K75 is a superior light compared to the ThruNite TN42, while the Nitecore TM39 seems overpriced compared to the aforementioned two.
Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTecI just bought this one on Amazon. It ran me a little more than what I wanted to pay but I wanted this for my collection. it reminds me of a big Mac with a Ferrari engine. I also received today my Manker 35 Oh my God, Charlie, you have to test this life. I think everyone of these lights from my K 75/TM 39/Thrunite That I will be receiving on Monday have their place in the monster thrower world. The beauty of the NITECORE is the way you have the ease of charging and the same thing with the Thrunite and it’s super fast charging. Yes the K 75 is the king of throwers at 2600 m. I haven’t loved that light but they each have their own quality and I think you understand that better than I do. My favorite still is the TM 39. It looks like a Ferrari on steroids I just picked up my first American light, surefire EDC2 turbo a little pocket rocket with 100,000 Candela at 700 lm. Charlie, that little sucker does not get hot on the body at all and it runs on a 18650 that really lets that light run on Turbo for over 30 minutes without heating up. No it doesn’t throw as far as these king of throws. But it’s capable of 100,000 Candela and 700 m of throw in a tiny little body. I must say the packaging comes in is kind of cheesy for spending $300 on a 6 inch torch. I had to get that one like I said it’s my first American pocket rocket. Happy new year Charlie much thanks my friend.🔦💪🔦
Good morning, between the two, which I would say because for me it matters to Brazil, both are the same price! Thrunite actually comes with batteries, but I want the one that plays farther and takes longer with turbo on!
Nitecore TM39 will last longer on turbo. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec For nothing, what would I think to buy because I'm in love with flashlights and the farther the better! Can you tell me something about TM39 battery consumption
@@fabioernanisouzaborges6738 The TM39 comes in a lite version as well so the battery pack will give you much longer runtimes verses the four 18650 "lite" version.
@@CharlesBridgTec thanks for the opinion, what do you think of the version that uses 18650 batteries, because I have many! have autonomy over what? I use fenix 18650 3500mha batteries.
@@fabioernanisouzaborges6738 Works the same just less runtimes
Hey Charles, happy new year again hope you’re doing well. I just picked up a TN 42 V2 along with The AceBeam X50 2.0 and a amazing thrower in the Manker MK 35 -11 this Manker Charles has 1 million Candela with 6000 lm and 2000 m of throw. It’s a beautiful little canon of a light. It might be right up there with one of my favorite the TM39 I call my little Ferrari. Getting back to the question what are your thoughts on this TN 42 V2 matching it up against the Nitecore TM 39. I know it’s a bigger light than a little giant, but I’m talking Beam quality. What are your thoughts on that Charles?🔦💪
It does not throw as good as the TM39. Happy New Year and thanks for watching!
This is borderline to OK on flood vs beam. The Niwalker with the 2 leds is better but less power, but has the excellent flood and usable beam. The movable lens type flood to beam is optimum since full power is available on all settings and beam width.
Combination beams are my favorite then second is flood finally dedicated throwers. So this actually can't be compared to a flashlight with pure flood. Someone needing a little flood but a hot spot for range will like this. Thanks for watching!
This is gonna be awesome! like handing a firecracker that you lit quick to a friend!
Thanks for watching!
Can also demonstrate of the Astrolux mf05, too. We like to see it with your light display ground.
If they send it to me. Thanks for watching!
Amazing performance
Thanks for watching!
What's your favourite go to , most used flashlight Charles?
Nirecore TM26GT, TM28 then TM15. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec The TM26GT is also one of my faves! My #1 fave is the P12GT because it’s mega compact but still packs an insane punch at 1,000 lumens and 320 meters of throw on turbo. Super pocketable for EDC. An absolute masterpiece. Same goes for the TM26GT, it’s an absolute masterpiece, looks amazing, and for the sustainable power it packs, it makes no sense how crazy compact they were able to make it. I’m thinking about getting the new TM39, looks really, really good and it would be my first ever BIG flashlight.
The flashlight has authority it rules over everybody else
Not quite. Thanks for watching!
Can you demonstrate the Manker MK35 flashlight, too, please. It has the range of 2000 meters throw and we like to see it on your channel.
If Manker sends it to me. Thanls for watching!
Great helicopter flashlight video, 👍
Thanks for watching!
TM39 vs TN42V2 vs K75..that’s what I would like to see
I have not reviewed the AceBeam K75. Thanks for watching!
I just received this incredible light, from Amazon the other day. It really is an incredible light. The beamshots on video do not do it justice. You have to view those beamshots in person. In order to truly appreciate its brightness. I am a little confused though. On the manual that comes with the light, it states the included LED emitter is a SBT-90.1. But, I keep seeing reviews which state, it has a SBT-90.2. Which version does it have? Is that a typo by Thrunite on the manual?
Luminus SBt-90.2. Thanks for watching!
Amazing flashlight. Top King ✌️✌️
Thanks for watching!
I would like to have both of the lights if you don't mind 😎👍💖🖐️
Thanks for watching!
Hello Charles, I watch your flashlight reviews and like them a lot. About TN 42 V2 , I want to know whether other brand batteries work, if yes, please suggest the alternatives since Thrunite batteries are not available in India.
You can use other brands if they are protected (because length is needed) and button or slightly raised tops. Thanks for watching!
I dig your reviews Charlie B but what you got against them Manker torches? And I look forward to your 2 cents on the Acebeam l18 and l19👍
I actually picked up the l17 in white thanks to your feedback n beamshots of the green model...
Nothing against Manker at all, for I have reviewed many of their lights over the years. Thanks for watching!
We need this giant flashlight to be osram so it would be more nice looking and longer beam throw.
Thanks for watching!
I have a TN42 and a TN40 both are great functional lights .
What I want to know is how to install the rubber cap over the operating button ?
Which light? Thanks for watching!
Nice video! What battery replacement options do we have? The IMR 21700 4000mAh cells are not listed on Thrunite website for sale! And which other flashlights would be at par with Thrunite TN42 V2? Thanks!
They will be offering those cells in the near future. I would only use those because of the length. Thanks for watching!
Never understand when you do turbo on throwers you always do it on short range like trees on left or tree of life, there is not much difference to be seen !!! Do it on palm trees or school or something further
What are ypu talking about I did show them on the Palm Trees and school! SMH. Thanks for watching?
@@CharlesBridgTec you always do but we want to see the jump from high to turbo on further distance if you get me
Yeah ok.
@@CharlesBridgTec How long does it take to charge
Farther
So bright it was lighting up some meteors.
Thanks for watching!
Your coupon with the TN42 gives it a price $100-$200 less than the Nitecore TM39. (Amazon) Output between the two appears quite close.
With your coupon, the TN42 should fly off the shelves. Hope those who need such a flashlight see your video in time. For myself, either light would only get me in hot water with my neighbors. ... Unfortunate. Too bad. ... Thank you for your reviews.
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic Light !
Thanks for watching!
I noticed there is moisture trapped behind the lens of my Thrunite TN42 v2 (inside reflector area). The head and the top circular ring where the TN42 v2 is written are totally tight. Can you suggest how I get rid of it? I kept the torch on high beam for 3-5 mins and the moisture is still trapped there.
Tail stand it for about an hour. Moisture is normal if your light is used in very cold weather on lens area. Thanks for watching!
Charles hi. I have the tn42 v1 and love it. Is the upgrade worth selling the v1 and purchasing the v2?
Lastly, you opinion on the Wt90 verses the Thrunite v2???
Thanku
William
I personally would not sell you v1 but simply add the v2 to your collection. The 21700 cells do increase runtimes. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thanks Charles.
I actually have the V1, modified by Sky lumen. In order to purchase a v2, I would need to sell my mod v1. Is it still wort doing?
Lastly, I have been looking at the WT90. What is opinion of this light vs a V1 or V2?
Thanku

Thurnite is the winner in this video hands down 🤠👍💖🖐️💕🤑🤑🤑

@@CharlesBridgTec -Just order on Amazon for $228 total! I saw your review for this flashlight on amazon. Hey does this flashlight get hot fast? This flashlight the floor is not that wide?
@@CTROCK Turbo times are excellent so it takes about 9 minutes before it will cycle down. If its cooler outside runtimes will be longer.
@@CharlesBridgTec -Got my flashlight today. How many hour do u charge the battery? U can't take out the battery and charge the battery in a Nitecore, Intellicharge? The battery is to long to put in a battery chargers.
I charged them in my dedicated charger but your older Nitecore charger maybe too small of slots for the 21700 cells. It take about 5 hours if you use a USB 3.0/3.1 power supply.
For the price difference the tn42 is my pick.
Only price point? Its a steal at $89 dollars off. Thanks for watching!
Hi Charles, I really appreciate your reviews. At 12:30 you say cool white is better for throwers. I don't have much experience but physics say blue (-ish) light is scattered more in the air than other components of the visible spectrum. So I just suspect cool white thrower's beam is more spectacular but neutral white light's higher proportion will reach the target and there will be less disturbing blue fog between you and the target. What do you think?
CW will always be brighter than NW. 6500k is actually best for throwers which shows lumen output to the naked eye as well as candela ratings and lux meter testing. I prefer 5000k for all my light other than dedicated throwers. This also go for LEP flashlights as well. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thank you Charles for your answer, I understand this is your preference. Still I think if our target is to illuminate a distant object, nw is better than cw. With cw we see amazing light beam, but we see less from the target, because of the scattered bluish light.
@@deltawing9 Actually its the opposite of NW. CW will better illuminate a target farther away than NW when it comes to dedicated throwers CW is best for lumen output as well which is why they come in CW. I agree with you liking NW but performance wise CW is best for this type of beam pattern.
whats more impressive in your personal opinion havin tested the thrunight tn42 and the nitecore p35i ?
LOL. Two totally different lights and performance to even compare. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thats why i asked your opinion since you've compared them. Im kind of torn in between getting either the tn42, marauder2, or the p35i. If you only had money to buy one, testing all 3 of them....what one would you choose ?
@@scottmichael7178 I am not a huge fan of LEP lights. Now the Nitecore has the flood portion of it that is impressive. If you are looking for a dedicated thrower I would recommend the TM38 or TM39 from Nitecore over the TN42.
@@CharlesBridgTec i get that. I just got an acebeam L19 and .....its nice but it just wasnt as impressive as i thought it would be, as vids make it out to be. The tm39 is a little more than id like to spend so i think ill have to budget a bit longer for that one haha. Appreciate the input and love the vids. Keep it up👍
YW!
Price in Pakistani currency?
Use Google to translate currency for you. Thanks for watching!
I choose the Thurnite over the nitecore two reasons the beam seems to be more concentrated and number two it's a much better price than the Nitecore that's my story I'm sticking to it 😎🤑👍💖🖐️

Yes send it to ThruNite for warranty repair. Thanks for watching!
First the Nitecore is way too expensive, 499.99 no way and the beam quality is inferior to the TN 42 V2. I have a good selection of Thrunite flashlights. The only problem with some of their lights is the proprietary batteries for some of their lights. That's why I don't buy Olight anymore. I will save my money for this one, hope there will be another sale.
Thanks for watching!
Nitecore wins
Thanks for your input and watching!
NITECORE TM 39...BEST
Nitecore wins! It has better throw and is significantly brighter
Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec I bought the Wuben A21 based off your review and I love it! Phenomenal flashlight
A21 is a nice light.
hello good afternoon, in case you like nitecore better than thrunite? Can you tell me about battery consumption?
@@fabioernanisouzaborges6738 I don't like one better than the other but since they are direct competitors they make very similar lights. In this case with the nitecore TM39 it is a better performance light in my opinion. Battery consumption seems to be a problem with all these lights. They overheat quickly and eat battery like crazy! Using the highest capacity MAH battery is recommended
should have ran both at once to compare
Lights are big and only one hand to hold camera! SMH. Thanks for watching!
