My favorite is the T1s it has the power for a useful EDC, USB-C charging and it uses regular batteries. Thrunite makes excellent quality flashlights. I am so glad you pointed out how important the Candela rating is. I have been using Olight for many years. I use my flashlights everyday and I found the Olight proprietary batteries to be interior to standard Li-ion cells. This alone makes Thrunite a better deal, a better value. Ever since Olight stopped telling you what LED they use in the lights they have dropped in quality and value. Let me put it this way, many of you are also into pocket knives, would you buy a knife that the manufacturer refused to tell what steel they put in the blade? I have said enough.
I love my olights but that’s a great point… the leds are usually the biggest (and only) issue with my olights. I would love if they could add some high cri leds eventually
I have all three of the Thrunite models. The T1S is my favorite of the three, but the W1 is the one that is in my truck bag. I really like the option of being able to use regular CR123 batteries if needed.
Thank you for this comprehensive video. Basically answered all the interrogations i always have when trying to compare flashlights from product sheets to reviews, etc...
You’ve became one of my favorite channels. Really enjoy the content. Thank you 🙌
Done with Thrunite, had 3 and they all quit working after 4-6 months continuous use. I'm nite blind and I use a light every morning and evening. Friend suggested the Baton S1R II and I've had it now for 3 years, haven't ever replaced the battery either.
Awesome!
OK. So you have a lot of experience, and thrunite is not good quality. 1 or 2 I can understand., but 3 bad flashlights? No wonder they are lower priced.
@@tyarnold4088bought the w1 first and then later bought 2 T1's, one for my brother. The W1 went out during a night fishing trip,.no biggie I paid $30 bucks and it dropped a couple times. So then when I got the other 2, I had it for 6 months and it just stopped working, swapped batteries and nothing. It was later on, about a year that my brother said his had stopped working. I bought 2 olight baton S1R II's and we both still use them, me every nite. Still haven't replaced the 1630 battery either.... magnetic charging is the only way to go for me from now on
The T1S for me. My first “real” flashlight was a thrunite, and I still use it on a daily basis 7 years later. This would be a great upgrade, that I would be proud to carry as my daily driver. Thanks for the opportunity!
My favorite is still the olight, the last one is very comparable but the olight is still smaller and I really do love the charging case for it also.
Thrunite T1S seems to be the one for me. I have gathered data on about 100 flashlights to find decent ones that meet different needs. The T1S meets the needs of having a magnetic base, hat clip and not too big. Along with a good low mode and a decent high mode. Rovyvon may beat it out though for me. Glad you made these videos!
Thanks for the wonderful review. I love all my Olights and have one in every vehicle. I’m always looking for a new light and now you have gotten me curious for something new.
I have all three of the thrunite's and have to say I prefer the T1 with it's wide floody spill it is perfect for seeing in and around the house as well as working on the car. The others are great if you are in a large open outdoor area and need to see far away. The best way thrunite could improve the T1 is give it a usb type C charger.
I agree, should happen..and have it run a high cri emitter like LH351D
My favorite has to be the Thrunite W1. It's small, practical and it's nice to see some of these lower end EDC flashlight come in a different color just besides tactical black.
Personally I'm a huge fan of olight and thrunite. Don't forget the budget line "wowtac". Until recently I could only get a more focused beam from Olight. But the trade off was cool white. I prefer neutral. However olight is typically more on the cool side. I personally would enjoy the T1s. It sounds like its the best of both. Thank you for your time for creating this informative content.
Since my wife adopted my Baton 3 permanently, I would really enjoy having a larger light in my pocket, which is now become a small keychain light. Nice review and quite thorough. Thanks.
I love the baton 3. I use it with an olink clipped to my belt loop. It’s easy to use, and manipulate when holding several things. Sometimes I’ll use the olink to hold a tool for a second while I use the light.
This is brilliant
I’m going to have to get a couple of the T1S models. Thanks for your insight!
Yoooo awesome info my fav used to be o light but u made a very good point for the thrunite ts1 👍
As usual you provided a very compelling argument for Thrunite flashlights. I like how you present facts and a legitimate value proposition for all the flashlights. I personally like the T1s because of the power it has. Keep up the good work on the reviews. 👍🏼👍🏼
I have many Olights that I am happy with BUT, the battery issue has always made me look for other options. I want to be able to drop any battery of the appropriate size in the flashlight and go. 3.7 or 1.5v. Jetbeam has a couple options that I own but they don't have the magnetic tail option. Which I have always found very handy. The T1S is very tempting.
If you have multiple olights like many do, just drop another battery from them in, if not, just buy a spare and your good for years. Now "built in" batteries.... I get disliking that. Many say, but I don't want to buy another battery....as they have atleast one other light in their shopping cart.......
2 years ago, I needed a powerful flashlight for going outdoors on the property after dark. I chose a couple very expensive Olight's, but within hours of sending the order Olight had a sale which drastically reduced the price of the flashlights. I called Olight and asked about the sale, but they declined the discount saying my order had been filled, even though it wasn't getting shipped for a while. I cancelled the order with Olight, and it was weeks before I was returned my funds. In the interim I order a Thrunite Catapult V6 which I received within the week. Since that experience I've ordered another Thrunite Catapult V6, A Thrunite Catapult mini, and a Thrunite T1S. I've been extremely pleased with the performance of Thrunite, and as I told Olight at the time, I will never buy an Olight!
Excellent review, thank you. The T1S looks like a great value and is the one I prefer. But they all look like great flashlights.
I think I like the ThruNite T1S the most, for all the reasons you mentioned, USB-C, magnetic tail-base etc.
I’ve been a Olight fanboy for a while, but as of late I’ve been leaning towards the cheaper and just as useful w1
Have the baton 3 in blue with the power supply. Not the best bang for the buck, but still very usable, and I have a variety of olights that use the same charger.
Waterproofing is better on the olights, I believe because no charge plug port.
Great video, I just got the T1s nice light!
I have been a Baton user for some time now. While you consider the magnetic charging cable on the Olight a negative, I love that I don't have to fiddle with a rubber cover or bring a cable plugged in... The mag cable almost jumped onto the Baton. I also love my charging case. Olight still the winner for me.
I'm so heavily invested in olight its great for me. But not everyone is, so I like having different options
Great video and review. Completely agree with your ranking. I have both the Olight Baton 3 and Thrunite T1s. I prefer the T1s due to the higher output and candela, price, usb-c, non-proprietary charger and battery, and for the most used medium mode I prefer the brighter beam on the T1s vs Baton 3. I had to return an almost new Baton 3 that got extremely hot while charging, would no longer come on, and even got warm to the touch just sitting on the counter in off mode after it quit. Thrunite has impressed me so far. It would be nice if the T1s had the better pocket clip from the Olight. Thanks for the video and offering a great giveaway!
For me the smaller form factor of the Baton 3 puts it at the top of my list. Ive had a T1 that I carried for a while, but always came back to the baton
Yep, the size to output ratio is what had me going for the Olight, the T1S looked just big enough to be less comfortable to carry all day.
I agree that the proprietary battery and charging of the olight has disadvantages, but I've also had many USB charging ports break on devices over the years. The magnetic charging of the olight seems much more robust and less likely to break over time.
I've got 3 W1's, one on my wife's nightstand, one on my nightstand & one my dresser, & a T1 magnetically attached to my medicine cabinet. The T1s appears to best them all, would be a great replacement & good for pocket carry too.
I love the warm color temp of the t1 and the green body of the other thrunite but I have been using the baton 3 for work for so long idk if anything can top the durability and reliability it's shown me thus far.
I love my Baton 3 with the charge box, can't imagine having a need for off the shelf disposable batteries. Use Baton & place in box to top off and recharge box whenever needed. I have used high quality rechargeable lights professionally since late 70's, have little use for store bought batterie$ that are weak & have one life. Professionally if I needed longer run time I would have extra rechargeable batteries or a 2nd light for the performance. However, being retired I have only used mini lights the last 20 years so don't have a fair comparison based on professional need. YMMV Thanks for a great review
They've made recharging flashlights since the 70s?!
Half a lumen is useless unless you're in a tactical situation. 2 Lumens, as on the Perun Mini, is very useful.
BTW, I own a few Olights. I think they are a notch above. But hey, that's my opinion. One feature no one talks about is the timer function on Olights. There are 2 settings: 3 min and 9 min. I use that feature every night when going to bed. When camping and I'm bundled up, no need to get an arm out to turn it off. It's an awesome feature you don't know you need!! LOL Great video bud. Cheers
I did just order a Baton 3 in copper during Olight Fan Day. I guess we shall see if I am changing brands. So I guess since that is the only brand I'm familiar with, the Baton is my favorite
I've been an happy user of a Fenix e18r for years. But I have to confess the T1S looks very good. Do you think I should upgrade? I really don't know how my e18r compares to modern olight or thru nite flashlights.
I can say the T1S stands out to me ! I’m a huge olight fan but the charging aspect is well done in the T1S and priced to sell
does the Baton 3 Pro fit into the Baton 3 Premium charging case? (not with the lid closed obviously... but does it fit? does it charge the flashlight?) Thanks!
I see Olight advertised all over the place and the deal breaker is the lights are carried lens up, a big nope. I've asked many times of Olight fan boys and Olight reps and no one seems to know , if the lumen ratings are ANSI or OTF. I have the Thrunight T1 and love it. I like Olight key chain lights, but I'l stick to the other major brands for my big lights.
I saw this independently reviewed..one thing olight does well is match the ANSI ratings.
Great review! I have been considering the Olight, but I think the TS1 may be the better choice here. Really have to be a USB-C anymore. TS1 on my wish list now.
Just found your channel! I’m really digging the T1S due to the flexibility of charging with the USBC!
When you use a regular CR123 battery in the W1, does it give a "low battery" indicator in the switch? Does it get very much runtime off of a CR123 primary cell?
Great video! Fantastic job with the editing. I liked the "hand motion" to make the spec.'s appear on the screen. 😎👍
Of course I'm a sucker for the Baton 3 series, just like everybody else. But I do love my Thrunite's. The W1 looks so cool in that green color. But the T1 is one of my all time favorite lights because of the infinity ramping. The only one I don't own is the T1s. I'm hoping that Thrunite is in the process of making a larger edc style light (18650 or 21700) with a TIR lens. I have several of their larger lights with smooth, deep reflectors which I do love. But I'm waiting on that nice TIR 21700.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
🤞😊🤞😊🤞😊🤞😊🤞😊🤞
I have a 2 small batons (without the charging bank)and I love them, but honestly the T1S...definitely my favorite of the group, USB-C for the win!!!
I carry a W1 everyday and love it. I was thinking about purchasing the T1S, so I would definately like to have that one.
I love my baton 3 so powerful for it’d size. I’ve been wanting to get a t1 or t1s for a while now!
Picking a favorite of the four lights is really tough, they all have some very appealing attributes so I think that my choice would have to be whichever one that I had with me that day. I don’t think that I could buy just one.
My favorite is the baton 3. Reason why is the charging case…great for camping.
I have multiple Olights and Thrunites among others. The T1 was always my favorite small light own 2 of them, but the S is really nice, I'll be adding one or two soon.
Will the Thrunite take a standard 16340 3.7 volt? If so it should have the max output.
If you get a chance, please review and compare the T1sv2 with the Baton 4. Thanks.
My personal favorite would be the W1. Right now my EDC flashlight is the Olight S1R baton ii, which can still use CR123s. I like having the ability to use a primary cell in a pinch.
I like em all, thank you Thrunite, no proprietary aspects! 🤓👍👍
what kind of watch is that? and which knife was that towards the end when you were showing the magnet test?
The Olight baton has always been one of my favorites. Especially when I can just slap it onto the magnetic charging dock and walk away.
Gotta go with the baton 3. I have a baton2 with a charging station in my work truck. Hey would love to give the thrunite a try though.
Great comparison
Have you worked with Nitecore ?
My favorite of these lights has to be the W1 because I have one in green...it is super cheap but functions well... If it was USB type c and the head didn't hinder it going in the pocket it wouldn't even be a question... Would love to own a second one
Your knowledge of flashlights are unmatched I've recently bought 3 flashlights that you've displayed on your channel. Out of those 4 I probably like the baton 3 most simply bcuz I've had minor issue with some thrunite lights charging covers opening and if carrying in pocket its a risk of getting lint stuck in them .
Favorite is the T1
Great review thank you
for me t1s looks the best on paper, I had a t1 that my dad fell in love with so I donated it to his pocket, funny enough he has the magnetic olight carabiner that I also gave him because it was a little weird with the warrior mini being as long as it was and it worked out great for him
I have the O-Light now, but after seeing this I will be ordering a few T1S for gifts and myself.
Enjoyed the comparison. I’ve owned the T1S for the past nine months and have been very satisfied with its performance. However, always looking for even better alternatives.
🤔🤔 try the sofirn sc21
I recently got the SC21Pro and it's a great light. 👍🍻
@@ben9and1-3rd also an awesome light for sure!
I've been carrying a baton 3 over a year its my favorite light. My dad has the T1 .
Olight is my favorite. I have had good luck with their products and have several
Hey Maxlvl
Huge fan. My fave of the bunch is the olight baton3. Only because that's the only one of them I own. And hate the olight proprietary charging.
I recommend lumintop, noctigon and emisor.
Noctigon KR4 (incredible), Lumintop E05C & FW3A (amazing), there are tons of great flashlights out there.
Awesome video
Great review! I really like my Baton 3, but I might have to pick up a T1S out of curiosity. Since they are both IPX8 rated, which one would perform better in an immersion test?
Hmm, Baton 3...for sure..no silicon to worry about
I agree the T1S would be my preferred light especially given the price.
needed a glovebox light and ordered the T1S. i think it will fit my needs.
Good comparison. Good points made.
I too think the Olight is a tad pricey. Overpriced even for the B3 Premium where they charge an extra $50 CAD over the standard B3 /no case. OLIGHTS are good lights but the company is a little greedy pricing out their lights in their categories.
Have you reviewed the OLIGHt Seeker 3 Pro? Was wondering if you can disable the "auto LOCKOUT after 30 seconds" and just manually activate the LOCKOUT.
Agree with your recommendation; the T1S is a compelling package.
I fell for the marketing of the Baton 3 so badly that I bought 4 of them, all in different colors. I use one in my kitchen on moonlight mode every night, I keep one in my laundry room for checking inside the washer, one in my accessory bag on my electric scooter and one I never even opened because it’s blue. That W1 looks absolutely intriguing!
Open that Blue...Open that Blue... Open that Blue!!!!! 😁👍
i still haven't been able to bring myself to buy one, i have been tempted but i have a S1R baton II, and the whilst the turbo is lower the high mode is way better then the 3, and i can put cr123's in it as a back up
I only have the olight from this selection , but that T1s has me thinking. Usb c charging is a game changer 🤔
My favorite would be between the W1 and the T1S... My choice would be the T1S due to the USB-C charging cable, compatibility with OTC batteries, output including the lowest mode and the slightly larger size. I don't have large hands, but sometimes have longer nails, which tend to make it harder for me to fingertip grip a small flashlight securely. (Probably not something you hear much from your subscribers. 😄) On sale it wouldn't be much more expensive than the W1 at regular price, although for my EDC purposes, the W1 would work for me just fine. I also like the looks of the W1.
Interesting lights, the T1S is certainly interesting at the price. Not sure I really agree with the premise of the comparison though, it's like declaring a AA light better than a AAA light. Something I think is worth noting here is the warranty, if price is going to be hotly contested, then what you get for the price should be considered.
From a quick look, batteries aren't covered by Thrunite's warranty at all, and they'll only cover you on defects for 24 months. Olight does cover batteries, for one year, with the Baton 3 having a 5 year warranty on the device itself.
Will definitely be keeping an eye on the T1s for sales though, would be a good bag light to set and forget.
My favorite is the T1 because it works great for a headlight on my power wheelchair
My favorite is the Olight! I just don’t have any hands on experience with any of the others…yet. :)
My favorite? Baton 3 - because it's the only one of them that I currently own...but now I really want one (or all) of those Thrunites
Maxlvledc - edited to correct a misspelling
i like the baton 3 and the magnetic charger but my go to edc is the thrunite t1 . I dont have the t1s but i like the long thow of this light and the type c charging port.
Olight S1R Baton ll, the predecessor to the Baton 3, can use every CR123, RCR123 and 16340 I have tried.
The newer Olight IMR16340 that comes in both the Baton 3 and the S1R Baton ll...CAN be charged in a port charger BY placing a small magnet on the recessed button top.
S1R Baton ll is still king, IMO, because of the Baton 3 battery IMCOMPATABILITY and the marginal gains in useful power output, save moonlight runtime.
Edit = W1, T1S, T1, then Baton3. Still prefer S1R Baton ll however.
I really like the T1, and I have the Batton 3 and love it!
The only things not addressed are durability and reliability. Are they expected to be just the same?
My favourite out of those 4 is T1, because it has a NW led option.
Domino great comparing review you made buy the angle sofirn flashlight and I already have the baton 3
We have the same point of view usb c and magnetic tail are mandatory
If you find an edc one with incredible run time because to rely on. 40 to 50 lumens mode with a gigantic runtime is so useful don t hesitate and I am still looking for a flood light
Obviously I’m going Olight it’s just better built looks and feels better quality
What I like about the baton 3 is that can be run straight from a power bank with a mcc3 cable and still blast out 1200 bursts. I have used it on 70min hike with one of the older style batteries without the lip and all it needed was 50mah charge when I arrived home. My Sofirn sc21 can use the olight batteries and this covers off the neutral tint/high cri angle and I will swap the battery into a baton 3 to recharge it while out and about. I’m not a huge fan of rubber flaps but that’s personal preference. I don’t have any 18350 lights ( I do have some Hank lights which can take 18350 tubes) so I don’t really want to add another battery type to 16340/18650/21700/26650.
The thrunites do look good though and I’ve never had any complaints about the few I own.
Hey! you got the W1 ! plz contact me by email and we will go through the process of getting it to you. Cheers (email is in Description and on my website)
Hey, will give you 2 more days..then I need to pick another person. Currently 15th oct.
@@maxlvledc Hi I’ve only just picked this message up properly I’ll email you now.
T1S- I have purchased all 4 of the flashlights but carry the T1S because of its performance and price!
I prefer the throw/flood balance of the T1S and the USB-C charging, non-proprietary battery capability, and value for money push it well above the others in my opinion.
I like the thrunite W1. Easy access to charge it with a usb-c. No proprietary batteries or chargers. 🙌🏻 I do like the magnetic base on it as well
keep in mind the W1 is micro-usb
@@maxlvledc thanks Dom. I missed that part. I assumed it was the same as the T1S
Actually yes you can use a bay charger for the Olight battery you have to use a magnet and place it over the positive part where the ring is. Basically the the magnet acts as a extension of the positive and allows you to touch the bay terminals
my favorite of these is the baton. cuz I don't have any of the others to try.
I prefer the floody beam of the T1 personally, wish they would just update it with usb-c and a nore efficient led, high cri would be the cherry on the cake.
Would be a perfect little edc work light for me then. I was using a milwaukee penlight which was pretty good but it crapped out on me and stopped charging, its a sealed unit so cant be serviced.
Ive just bought a Wurkkos TS22 and that rhing is a beast of a light, in reality though im only really going to use low and medium though so something more compact would be nicer to carry around all the time.
I love my baton 3. Both performance and size
I own the T1s and Olight and they're both okay but I recently got a Sofirn SC21Pro running the Anduril UI and it's AMAZING compared to both/all of these. All great lights though. 👍🍻
Edit: Of those 4 options, I'd say the T1s is the best. I lost my gun metal one but still have a black one.
The sc21 is boss...and it can use an olight clip too.
Nothing that size can beat the olight baton 3 and perun mini 2. Unbeatable all round. some are brighter and cheaper. but the convenience of magnetic charging is beautiful. spare battery cost 5.9 euros. On olight sale days you can get both for 58 euros. and it lasted me 3 years already.
Nice. Thanks to you, I am realizing just how proprietary Olight is, and how UNNECESSARY it is, especially the batteries.
I need to look through your other videos, but I have to wonder how the Sofirn SC21 Pro stacks up here.
Sc21pro is basically unbeatable. Combine it with a S1R1 clip and it's the last light you will use
At 8:51 you mentioned that the olight isn't able to use off the shelf cr123 batteries and, at least with the baton 3 i own, mine in fact does operate with a standard cr123. It's just that when not being operated with the rechargeable battery it comes with your will be unable to activate the turbo mode. But again that just what i have experienced with my olight baton 3
I like the TS1, good stats and can't beat the USBC!
Even though you talked about it least, based entirely on what you discussed here I think I’d be most interested in the T1 (the second ThruNite you showed off).
It looks like it has that ultra-wide beam pattern that a cell phone flashlight has, which is awesome for Illuminating a close-up space for multiple people. I go walking with my girlfriend at night, and until I broke down and bought her a flashlight of her own, she would depend on the beam of my S1R Baton II. Not the S1R Baton II isn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination, but is really only suited for one person to use it by him/herself.
Hmm, interesting. You would love the sofirn sc21 then
Thanks! I’ll take a look into that!
On a completely separate note, have you ever checked out Nebo? Their original Red Line was my very first EDC flashlight, and these days they have *very* competitive prices for larger flashlights in the 2,000+ lumen range.
@@Deibodese I did once..not recently though
I purchased a Olight warrior mini 2 I like it but I wont buy another Olight. I don't like having a proprietary battery.
Baton 3 is still king for me. The beam is so wide it lights up your feet while holding it at waist level while still having a good hotspot. Thrunites don't do that.
The T1S us very similar while also have more light intensity actually. But it's bigger.
