Video Transcription

hey guys doing this William Irish Mass outdoors and what's on my head here is a little cool flashlight that thrunite sent me if you recall or if you watch my videos not too long ago I did a video on the th10 and somebody from thrunite actually contacted me and said hey great video on that th10 we have a new one out th 20 would you like to check it out after looking at the specs and things like that I was like yeah go and send it out which is actually the second time that I've had anyone actually send something to me personally usually I just kind of get Chris's old stuff like hey this is cool I'll do a video on it you know hey this works I'll like it I'll do a video on it so I've had this light as standard on my channel I always test things out for ever you know the people from through nine or even like hey come on get this video out and you know I'm like not yet calm down I'm still testing it the reason why I do that is because I mean obviously you can see you look up the th 20 there's a hundred thousand videos probably on YouTube right now about it you know I didn't just take this out of the box throw it on my head and say hey let's do a video on it I've had this thing for probably six months you know put it in water ran the batteries out I put new batteries in I've charged different batteries

I charge tried fourteen are they what are those batteries Chris not eighteen 650s but fourteen fourteen 500s right you know basically the accomplish that goes and these are double a compatible or fourteen five hundred 14500 see they run better longer brighter

that's the only thing basically I could say about that this light is again from through night the th twenty it is way smaller and lighter than the th ten that way you know that little Center headband that goes down here I ditched that as soon as I got this light absolutely not necessary I don't even I can't remember if it if this came with one that's had this light for so long if it did absolutely not necessary because this is super light nine times out of ten anytime I get a headlamp that has one of those Center straps that's the first thing it goes I cannot stand those things

but other than that this is incredibly simple to use you know you have your battery compartment that's twist right here for open and closed and then on and off one button simple clicky great I mean it's like they almost took the technology for like a handheld baton torch and put it into a headlamp very simple tube design very bright one click this also has like their incident brightness mode where if you just press and hold you see you're gonna get those stages of brightness until it flashes and that's as fat for up is it's gonna go hold it again starts to come down till it flashes again that's as low as it's gonna go just go ahead and ring it back up might sell flashes go ahead and turn it off you know this also has those other features like you know SOS and things like that you know I just I really don't use those hardly ever unless you need to right this does not have the gimmicky strobe or anything like that on it again something I just never use unless I'm playing around messing with Chris Hey look you have permanent retina damage same thing it doesn't mean anyway so all the pertinent information that you need you know the lumens stages things like that will be somewhere around here you know Chris is setting in my videos right now so I'll make him do that sorry dude anything else other than the fact that this night this light for me the weight of it how light it is and how long it lasts in the field how bright it is yeah I've used this for hunting frogs I've used this for just a ray of different things up to the high lumens that I want to shine out animals frogs mostly because it's illegal to hunt with a light other than frogs and to the low lumens for just digging stuff out of my pack inside camping alright so this is the daytime poor of this video we're going to be wait till it gets a little bit darker I'm gonna throw the camera back on you know as always it's really hard for me to express in the show on camera even in the darkness how bright or floody alight is what we're gonna try to do the best that we can is to show you this product it's one that I am really impressed with and hopefully you only want if you get one all right guys so I'll just as you can see it's nighttime right now so you know we're gonna be able to show you as much as we can on camera what exactly this light can do some well asked Christopher and turn his off and I'm gonna point my light down the trail alright so this is pretty much on high as high as it'll go you need to get closer to some trees for it to show up on camera since it's not like a really light theme yeah I can see that I mean that's why I like it I mean it's not a really tight focused hot spot beam it's nice and flooding you know I can see all around me wherever I look the circumference of my vision my field of view is lit up and I really like that about this light again another thing that I like about this light is that it is light weight you know it's aircraft aluminum construction it's not heavy at all it's not nearly as help as heavy as a th10 was you know I really like this light it does not last as long as the th10 did but you know it last me at least all weekend when I'm out camping so that's good enough for me you put in one of those what 17 514 five I'm sorry yeah 14500 and you know when you get home from a weekend trip you can charge it back up you know you can go through that incident with infinite lumens or whatever turn it all the way down till it flashes now that's mean light that's as low as this lights gonna go you know and that's perfect for in camp use when you know dig it to my haversack to get through my bag stuff like that and then all you gotta do is press and hold it and it brings the back up and you can stop this at any time you know that's high enough for whatever you're doing then you just bring it back up well I don't go down from that point all right now it's coming back up now it's back up the high I mean if I'm walking through a trail this is more than adequate for nighttime you know getting back from a fishing hole getting back from a trapline etc etc this is more than enough you know like I said I've tested this light for more than six months now I've used it for catching frogs down here where we're at right now at the riverfront you know I've used it for a lot of things it works it does everything that a light should do it's high enough to flood out animals it's low enough to be in camp just to dig through your bag alright guys so there's a th 20 from through night life that I really like you know as my personal light for about six months now I like to easy to use just click on click off you know there's no fumbling around with a switch like with a pencil pretzel whatever their color pretzel tack or whatever they are you know yeah they're sometimes their click e's are really hard this is super easy click on click off not hard at all to use alright guys what if you liked this
