LEDs Explained & Why MOST Flashlights Use Them (Thrunite, Olight, Streamlight, & Maglite)

GIVEAWAY CLOSED, Congratulations Patrick Browning and Evan Sticca for winning the Catapult Mini V2, Shannon Davidson for winning the Catapult V6 SST70. and thanks to any who took part.

I have several Thrunite flashlights and as far as the LEDs go I think all of them are comparable but where I think Thrunite stands out is the switch. I hate lights with crappy switches that make it flicker or not get full brightness. Thrunite has the best switches I've ever seen.

I thought the video was very interesting and I learned a lot. Thanks

great

I like it ❤

Thanks for the overview of these LED flashlights, and their respective features: pro & con.

Thank you, CL, for another informative video. I keep the Catapult Mini in my glove box. It's an awesome compact light, but the Catapult V6 would sure come in handy for my hunting/camping trips in bear country. I'll give 2 thumbs up to anything that helps to keep me from becoming bear poop!

It’s amazing how far flashlights have come along

I just bought a thrunite mini archer. Waiting for it to come in.

Thanks for all of the information! The Catapult Mini V2 looks amazing!! I love the power for such a compact size!

awesome flashligths, I need them for an upgrade in my airsoft gun ehehhe

Good

Great information

ha, even thou Maglite is inferior… love the idea to have a backup LED. 🙂

Very informative. Thank you.

Thank you for this very instructive video! The differens between an old flashlight and a modern LED flashlight is indeed enormous. I have updated my very old 3D Maglite to a LED version myself, and experienced this. By the way I have also very good experience of a modern Thrunite flashlight as well, so thank you Thrunite for your flashlights and for making the kind of videos possible.

Kind of amazing that anyone would still use incandescent bulbs instead of LEDs. Or single-use lead batteries instead of lithium, or at least NiMH. The Maglite is an antique; flashlights with two or three 26650s and one or more LEDs in a similar form factor are superior in every way.

Useful information!

Now do LEP flashlights?

If I had these lights when I was a kid. Back then my light of choice was the right angle scout light. It was probably 50 lumens with two fresh D batteries. What I wouldn’t given for my TH30 headlamp. Thanks for the great lights.

it's amazing how technology progressed for the past 10 years.

Nice!

I love my thru note for exploring. It brings plenty of "daylight" to dark places

You going to be telling people how to suck an egg next.

Another banger!

Thanks to space age technology, Led's have really revolutionized the flashlight market. I can certainly relate to the old D cell flashlights.

I want .
😂
Good luck to the winners

Love that mini! I'm a huge fan of the catapult, I take mine with me anywhere that I'll be spending time outdoors at night. Never know when you might need to see clear as day in the dark.

Very nice light. Would be a great part to my collection that is small but hopefully will grow.

thx for this information video
