What a brilliant review. Particularly showing a closer view with your other camera. It was really nice to be able to better view the trees that way. The only observation from m my own point of view, is that to me, Acebeam usually has a better beam profile than Thrunite and are usually slightly better finished. This veiw is from having collected over a hundred flashlights. A dozen each of Acebeam and Thrunite (mad i know. Such is life). An excellent review with no rubbish in it. Please keep up the good work.
What do you think about tactical flashlights ? I search for a brand that is not made in china is there something ? Or does it sound like a senseless search ? Cheers
Incredibly helpful review for the type of lights we’re looking at, with a no nonsense approach...seems like you were kinda hoping the acebeam stayed on top, but that added to the fun of watching this...keep ‘em coming...hard to keep up with the jones’ with these things! Sure wish these things had built in chargers, maybe with some kinda slide feature to allow batteries to be charged while installed...love the concept of placing flashlight down on a slide in charger so it’s always charged fully when I pick it up.
Great video indeed. Could you please let us know which one hold the turbo mode long before step down kicking in.and which one manage the heat better. Thank you again, sir.
Haven't tried the step down yet but do know the TN42 seems to stay cooler. So much so I think you could run it until the batteries drop down too far without any worries but haven't ran it that long yet. The Acebeam gets pretty hot after 10 minutes or so compared to the TN42
one thing i like about his method of testing is he is using the same testing field with different flashlights. so you can compare each of all his flashlights reviewed. thanks. i subscribed immediately after knowing it.
Hi, I did put a couple on when I 1st made it. may put another on. I plan on building another that would throw and smaller. Here's one. th-cam.com/video/kylUyavvEXE/w-d-xo.html
Very nice review Scannerguy. When you hold those light together, is like Starwars man. Firstly i swear it on the K70, but after this video, i can not choose. you made it very difficult for me man. I going to buy both of them. Hahaha. Those torchs is like a smartphone. they keep on coming with more Lm and more range at beam. Wonder What will be the next Trowing king. Btw scannerguy thank you for the video. Thumps up scannerguy.
Thanks, My guess is a Thrunite TN52 that's driven harder for more throw or an Acebeam K80 that has the head like the TN42. Of course guessing but seems to me both lights have something the other doesn't . Either a larger reflector or driven harder.
Cree keeps coming up with new emitter designs that are brighter and smaller than before. Even current designs get more efficient year after year boosting output. Thank you Cree!
Here just 193.99 dollars with coupon code: GBTN4 www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_451784.html?wid=21&lkid=10316044 I hope this may help you th-cam.com/video/L-wIEg5ouwE/w-d-xo.html
Yes, this convinces me. That Thrunite TN42 really stands out, once you get to the 600 + M shots. Well done. I don't have much use for a BIG thrower like these. The K60 does well in a middle of the throw/spill road for me. But, my collection is missing a big thrower like these, so I might just . . . : - )
"Square rutt" lol. No but great vids Scannerguy1968! There aren't really all too many in depth videos showcasing flashlights like these so thank you for taking the time to post these. Absolutely earned yourself a like, fave and a subscriber. Keep posting vids like these. What do you use these lights for btw? Are they for some kind of work? Or are they just for recreational/just in case type of purposes? I've been collecting high powered flashlights since maybe around two years ago and I collect them pretty much just because I'm a lumen junkie and love having them for when I go camping/just in case.
Was just for fun and wanted a great thrower but now companies keep sending me lights to review. Kinda getting to be like work now. I have 30 plus High end lights on the shelf now. Going to lay all of them on a board and make a video of every one on at the same time. Then sell some off I guess
Just a question fenix TK47 1300 lumens is claiming 2,297ft(700) that's that mean there throwing longer range the both flashlight? As you can see fenix tk47 is cheaper than both lights and also the size of the tk47 can be used as weapon fo self defense.
Excellent reviews man. Best I seen in a flash light. Any chance you could do the Olights up against this? olight javelot m3xut and the olight intimidator sr52ut.
Budget light forums has one that's better downrange. But can't get a Hold of it yet. Toss up between these. Tn42 throws a tiny bit farther but acebeam has better switch and holder
Thanks again for the great comparison video of these two great throwers!! It was because of your first video on the K70 that made me purchase my K70 (and I finally got my video review done on it) What I like about the K70 is the momentary button and being able to pre select the output setting with the magnetic selector ring!! And also being able to select easily while it is on! However on the new Thrunite I like that it tells you the battery status and that it runs normal protected 18650 cells as I had to purchase special (good quality) high drain batteries for the K70. (Where all my other lights run protected cells) Also it appears the Thrunite's LED is not overdriven like the K70's which would mean the Thrunite would have a longer life compared to the K70 and like you said the K70 gets hot fast on high so for say search and rescue the Thrunite would be the better choice as it only was warm after you running it 30 minutes....well that's my two cents thanks again for the great comparison!!!
Thank You scannerguy1968 what I really need to get to improve my video reviews is a better camera for the beam shots!! The camera you are using ( I believe the Nikon D600 ) for your beam shots is awesome but a bit out of my price range!! Any suggestions on a good camera for beam Shots? I am seriously looking into the Bridge Cameras like the Canon sx60 ( 65x optical zoom)HS, Nikon models p610 (60x optical zoom) or p900 (83x optical zoom) and also the Panasonic LUMIX dmc-fz70 (60x optical but with an ISO up to 6400). I really like the super zoom cameras as I am into astronomy and aircraft and of course as well as night photography (flashlight beam shots) any thoughts is much appreciated!! Thanks Again!!
Excellent video! I really like the control ring on the K70. It's really easy to operate in the dark (don't have to hunt for a button) and I like being able to start on any mode. It's a great UI. That's the only thing keeping me with the K70 over the TN42. That big reflector on the TN42 sure is awesome, no doubt! It makes the K70's reflector look small, and that's really saying something.
The K70 is still pretty dang big. Seeing how much larger the TN42 is..more than I expected. Can't say I'm regretting the k70 now, whereas a few days ago I really was.
Rugby League GBU not worth it. After considering all the pros an cons. Getting vn's versions is becoming less and less of a good deal. Most manufactures are stepping up their game pushing their products to the limit. vn was good back in the day. Now, it's not worth voiding your original warranty. Would you buy a brand new car then mod it even before you touched it, just for some extra horsepower which would just void the warranty and on top of that pay a considerate amount of money? Just saying. It's your call. Just my two cents.
dont know about that...i just got a tn42vn, and it does 51,000 lux at 4 meters, while on this video, the stock 42 did just 40,000 lux....thats a pretty good jump in lux...it figures out to 816,000 lux at 1 meter... theres not alot out there that will touch that right now...ive got a stock k-70 and vihns tn42 crushes it pretty handily....
can any one please answer this. in Australia its illegal to own pepper spray. how do these lights go as a self defence tool? or are there any better options
Not sure of other options but if you shine this light ant someone within 20 meters they may as well try to look directly at the sun. They will be blinded and very startled.
I have the K70. I really like it being able to adjust the modes without having to click through the stuff. The TN42 is a better light, but I love my K70. I don't think I could justify the cost to go the TN42 for what I use it for.
Haven't done any diving lights yet. I have one that a company sent me that I will do a review on. Cheap and seems pretty darn bright. Will post in a few days so stay tuned.
Let's face it, people who buy these lights don't use them as described, they go out and illuminate random things from far away. The Thrunite at Turbo only runs for 125 seconds before stepping down to 1737 lumens. The K75 will run on Turbo for nearly two hours. Granted it gets hot as molten lava but you have to choice if you wanted a long runtime. That's important in a search and rescue situation.
great review! i really like my k70, so thank you for steering me in that direction. the light is awesome. i doubt i'll check the tn42, i only need one light for throw...for now lol. but i wonder what will come out in the next couple of years, looks very interesting. thanks for the videos.

+kyle haskins Toss a coin I guess. They note has more throw and runs cooler. Acebeam has more features and a holster. Along with more total light output.
Anyone who have reviewed fenix tk47 can anyone answer my question? Ive ask about he tk47 comaring to acebeam. Fenix tk47 is only 1300 lumens and they claim 2,297ft(700) so does it mean they throw farther than the acebeam k70 and thrunite .

Man... thanks for the video. I really wanted to see the tn42 vs k70. You're doing a great job with these videos. Keep it up. Thanks
Nice comparison review. Thanks for making it. I'm officially jealous of your awesome flashlights!
What a brilliant review. Particularly showing a closer view with your other camera. It was really nice to be able to better view the trees that way. The only observation from m my own point of view, is that to me, Acebeam usually has a better beam profile than Thrunite and are usually slightly better finished.

Please keep up the good work.
Good vid, thanks for the comparison. You just earned a new subscriber.
Thanks
Finally. Can`t wait to see. i have been looking day forwards for this video Scannerguy.
#1 reason to buy the TN42 is to play with it !! :P
Impossible to justify the big disparity in prices for only a little brighter than a super fucking bright torch
What do you think about tactical flashlights ? I search for a brand that is not made in china is there something ? Or does it sound like a senseless search ?
Cheers
Maybe I missed it, are these Natural White or Cool White in color?
GREAT side-by-side comparison video!
Thanks a ton.
Incredibly helpful review for the type of lights we’re looking at, with a no nonsense approach...seems like you were kinda hoping the acebeam stayed on top, but that added to the fun of watching this...keep ‘em coming...hard to keep up with the jones’ with these things! Sure wish these things had built in chargers, maybe with some kinda slide feature to allow batteries to be charged while installed...love the concept of placing flashlight down on a slide in charger so it’s always charged fully when I pick it up.
Thanks for watching. Yes the UI on the acebeam has me hooked compared to the tn42. But the brighter one won.
Thank you from Germany !!!!!
Great video indeed. Could you please let us know which one hold the turbo mode long before step down kicking in.and which one manage the heat better. Thank you again, sir.
Haven't tried the step down yet but do know the TN42 seems to stay cooler. So much so I think you could run it until the batteries drop down too far without any worries but haven't ran it that long yet. The Acebeam gets pretty hot after 10 minutes or so compared to the TN42
the best flashlight should have a good durability, have a good lumen, also not getting hotter when using it a long hour while it is on.
Hi scannerguy168, Is your TN42 the neutral white or the cool white version? Thanks. I just purchased the NW version after viewing your video.
one thing i like about his method of testing is he is using the same testing field with different flashlights. so you can compare each of all his flashlights reviewed. thanks. i subscribed immediately after knowing it.
Cool white or neutral light? Which one is that
They can also be used to help someone who is lost on a night hike return to your location.
Also, would you consider making a video on your ammo box light in depth? That thing is impressive
Hi, I did put a couple on when I 1st made it. may put another on. I plan on building another that would throw and smaller.
Here's one. th-cam.com/video/kylUyavvEXE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, also did the tn42 come with the batteries? Or did you have to buy them seperately?
They were bought separate. Youi can buy a rechargeable version but is quite a bit more
Thanks for sharing Todd!
Very nice review Scannerguy. When you hold those light together, is like Starwars man. Firstly i swear it on the K70, but after this video, i can not choose. you made it very difficult for me man. I going to buy both of them. Hahaha.

What's better the Acebeam K70 or the Acebeam K75?
I like this guy! Thank you sir for the videos!
Yes, this convinces me. That Thrunite TN42 really stands out, once you get to the 600 + M shots. Well done.
I don't have much use for a BIG thrower like these. The K60 does well in a middle of the throw/spill road for me. But, my collection is missing a big thrower like these, so I might just . . . : - )

Can you review some more Nitecore lights?
Getting there. Hopefully more soon
Just a question fenix TK47 1300 lumens is claiming 2,297ft(700) that's that mean there throwing longer range the both flashlight? As you can see fenix tk47 is cheaper than both lights and also the size of the tk47 can be used as weapon fo self defense.
I have a TC 20 blazingly bright spill, and the Acebeam W30 for throw. I want to get the Catapult v6 but should I? Considering I have the W30?
Scanner guy ,first of all RESPECT,, just thought I would pop the question, have you trield the coast HP 314.?
Excellent reviews man. Best I seen in a flash light. Any chance you could do the Olights up against this? olight javelot m3xut and the olight intimidator sr52ut.
Like a searchlight from a police heli, thats some serious throw... Awesome review man, this helps me make a decision on which one I should to buy
How do these compare to the Nitecore TM36? Do you have an idea?
These punch farther but less total light output. A lot tighter beam
Great video comparison. Do I buy now or wait till the NEW throw king comes out? WOW!
VERY good video! Thanks so much!
In your opinion , which one do you recommend the most , or is there a new throw king for 2018 ?
Budget light forums has one that's better downrange. But can't get a Hold of it yet. Toss up between these. Tn42 throws a tiny bit farther but acebeam has better switch and holder
scannerguy1968 do you know what’s it called ?

Ooof! Lol
Nice review, which one do you think gets hot faster?
Acebeam
Thanks mate. That’s great info👍
What’s the difference between the tn42 and tn42c ?
Excellent video! I really like the control ring on the K70. It's really easy to operate in the dark (don't have to hunt for a button) and I like being able to start on any mode. It's a great UI.

Wait for the TN40vn!
Or TN42vn

Hello. Do you have a review for acebeam k75?
DUDE!
I TOTALLY LOVE YOUR REVIEWS! BEST EVER! OMG!
Thank You!
You should open a business showing how to make reviews.
Thanks You!
can any one please answer this. in Australia its illegal to own pepper spray. how do these lights go as a self defence tool? or are there any better options
Not sure of other options but if you shine this light ant someone within 20 meters they may as well try to look directly at the sun. They will be blinded and very startled.
Awesome, tks for making this vid!
ITS GREAT TO SEE MACHO MAN WORKIN AGAIN
Just found I can't get the Thrunite TN 42c, so, about. The Acebeam, how fast does it get hot
Thank you for review.
I have the K70. I really like it being able to adjust the modes without having to click through the stuff. The TN42 is a better light, but I love my K70. I don't think I could justify the cost to go the TN42 for what I use it for.
Holy fuckin shit looks like fuckin aliens are attacking.
what is the brightest light
that you have found that
reaches the furthest
through water that
you can run while changing???
Haven't done any diving lights yet. I have one that a company sent me that I will do a review on. Cheap and seems pretty darn bright. Will post in a few days so stay tuned.
I meant,
How effective are they
For shinning fish frm
Bridge's n dam's.
What's the depth Penatration &
Do they operate while changing?
you need a green tinted light for penetration....this light will blow your eyeballs out in the water if not careful
Search and rescue applications too. My son is a SAR TECH
What about Olight SR95 UT vs thrunite TN 42?
Let's face it, people who buy these lights don't use them as described, they go out and illuminate random things from far away. The Thrunite at Turbo only runs for 125 seconds before stepping down to 1737 lumens. The K75 will run on Turbo for nearly two hours. Granted it gets hot as molten lava but you have to choice if you wanted a long runtime. That's important in a search and rescue situation.
Maybe you can take Niwalker BK-FA09S (cool white) to compare with Thrunite TN42 (cool white).
Absolutely Thrunite TN42 is the winner...
Hallo,
Compare vs FF4 65w vs Thrunite Tn40 ??? Video pls....
I just almost bought a FF4 on ebay but went for over 100. No spare bulbs for these anymore. Trying to get thrunite to hook me up with a tn40 tho
yep, you need to do the tn 40 for sure...i just got the tn40svn, and its unreal...8700 lumens, and 500k throw
the stock tn40 is still a beast
Video for Tn 42 cool white vs Tn 42 neutral white pls... thks... !!
just as important is battery life and you leave that part out??? da hell
Both are about the same. doubt you'd run these that long to run them down. I haven't yet. But good point
The tn42 is a litte bit brighter than the k70.
I have the K70vn version and it is just out of this world for throw and supper bright hotspot.
Cool video..IMO TN42 looks just a little bit brighter and focused.
Couldn't go wrong with either one.
True
great review!
i really like my k70, so thank you for steering me in that direction. the light is awesome. i doubt i'll check the tn42, i only need one light for throw...for now lol. but i wonder what will come out in the next couple of years, looks very interesting.
thanks for the videos.
Yeah but the TN42 throws farther than the k70, you chose wrong :p
What batteries do they use?
18650
Thank you, Scanner!

Does anyone know a flashlight with about the same throwing range, but much more compact than these ones？
The acebeam w30 throws a lot farther but a small tight beam and is 1/4 the size
which one to get.. please help...
+kyle haskins Toss a coin I guess. They note has more throw and runs cooler. Acebeam has more features and a holster. Along with more total light output.
Acebeam has colored lens filters on Amazon for the K70, you should try one👍🇺🇸🧀🔦
and a wild cat apears jajaja
good comparison, good video
Lol I hope you were joking about using a flashlight to deter attackers
TN42 has a tighter more Concentrated beam. Im fixing to buy the Thrunite TN42. Got to have it!!!!
Anyone who have reviewed fenix tk47 can anyone answer my question? Ive ask about he tk47 comaring to acebeam. Fenix tk47 is only 1300 lumens and they claim 2,297ft(700) so does it mean they throw farther than the acebeam k70 and thrunite .
+Bernard Fernandez These throw over 3600 feet. Maybe 4k
Just wait for the sun star pinnacle p21 if you want to see something impressive
Ill have to look it up
Candella is everything in throw..these two are very close however being the owner of the K70 I gotta say Thrunite edged it for the beam..so slightly but none the less..if I need to throw twice as far..l grab my lil 500 lumen W30 and crush them both..
My question didnt get answered

TN42 wins with a slightly tighter beam. 🤙🏻
7:43 thn 42 has more definet spot i could say even if u not said D
TN42 is a liiiiitle bit better.
TN42 is brighter at all distances, especially beyond 300 meters.
The TN42 is SOMEWHAT MORE POWERFUL !! 😨
You sound like Jesse Ventura
Definitely, TN42 is a clear winner
tn42 is best on all applications,bigger reflecter
Thrunite is clearly brighter
👍
Great video !!! Thank you very much !!!
