Beamshot ThruNite comparison, October 2011
This beamshot compares the Thrunite TN10, TN12 and Scorpion to some other lights.
Some other comparisons are: Beamshot Lux-RC FL33 comparison, September 2011, Beamshot Klarus XT20 comparison, September 2011, Beamshot 13 lights, September 2011, Beamshot of 14 big lights, August 2011, Beamshot of 8 light with 18650 battery, Juli 2011, Beamshot of 7 Fenix and 6 other lights, May 2011, Beamshot of 12 big lights, Marts 2011, Beamshot of 14 big lights, September 2010, Beamshot of 17 big lights, April 2010, Beamshot 9 big lights, June 2010 and Beamshot 8 big lights, June 2010
I have included the following lights (Same sequence as picture): ThruNite TN10, ThruNite TN12, ThruNite Scorpion, Sunwayman V20C, Fenix TK21 U2, Olight M21-X, JetBeam ST cycler, Lux-RC FL33
All light was tested with 18650 batteries, for some lights this means that they do not reach full brightness. Especially the FL33 looses brightness (For FL33 at full brightness see this comparison).
This chart shows the total light output measured with a ceiling bounce.
The TN10, Scorpion, V20C and FL33 all have a fully adjustable range, this gives a high flexibility in brightness. On the V20C this is selected with a ring all the other has a programmable brightness setting.
The TN12 with its small reflector does not have much throw.
The TN12 is a small and light weight light, the other larger lights are much more substantial.
In this table I have summarized the abilities of the lights. For the user interface I use the following abbreviations: TS: Tail switch, ETS: Electronic tail switch, ESS: Electronic side switch, Head: The head is used to select modes, Tail: The tail is used to select modes.
The price for the different lights as found on the internet. The FL33 is a custom light, this makes it considerable more expensive.
Beam profile, high power

Sunwayman V20C, Fenix TK21 U2, Olight M21-X:
JetBeam ST cycler, Lux-RC FL33:
Beam profile, high power, reduced exposure
The reduced exposure makes it easier to compare the hotspot.

Sunwayman V20C, Fenix TK21 U2, Olight M21-X:
JetBeam ST cycler, Lux-RC FL33:
Beam profile, lowest setting
ThruNite TN10, ThruNite TN12, ThruNite Scorpion:
Sunwayman V20C, Fenix TK21 U2, Olight M21-X:
JetBeam ST cycler, Lux-RC FL33:
Beam profile, lowest setting, increased exposure
Increasing the exposure makes it easier to compare the low settings. The light with a very low low mode will only show a black picture!

Trees at 150 meters
There was a lot of haze in the air during this beamshot, making it difficult for the lights to reach the trees.
