ThruNite T1S V2 Magnetic Tailcap Mini Flashlights, USB C Rechargeable Flashlight with SST40 LED, 1212 Lumen, 184 Meters Throw EDC Flashlight - Black CW

I bought this thing a year ago and I've had it in my pocket nearly every day since. The size and functionality of this thing is perfect, and despite being so small its battery life is phenomenal. Also the pocket clip tension is great, and I end up clipping it to my hat to use as a headlamp pretty frequently as well. This is probably the most versatile flashlight in terms of its different modes and its size, since it can be dim/bright enough for pretty much any application, and it's small and light enough to easily clip onto your hat or stick to any metal surface using the tail magnet. It does turn on in my pocket pretty frequently, but that's just because i forget to lock it (you lock it by holding down the button until its in moonlight mode and then holding it down again until it goes off). Even though I'll sometimes notice it's been on for long periods of time in my pocket, I rarely have to charge it... I have faith that this thing will last me a long long time, but if I ever lose it I'll grab another one.

Over the years I have researched and tried a LOT of flashlights. Thrunite is one of those companies that consistently puts out a quality product with a great value. This light ticked all the boxes for me. I was looking for something very small that I could carry with me in my pocket all the time without it taking up a lot of space but still having a good quality beam. The lumen spacing on this is really great and the magnetic tail cap is also super. It is a bit tricky because it’ll get stuck to your keys and so on so be careful with that. I’ve dropped it a bunch of times and it’s hardly even scratched. I also like that the LED indicator stays on as long as the light is in operation (except in moonlight mode), which is something that almost no other EDC flashlights do. I really like that because you can find the on which easily when it’s dark. If you’re looking for a great little light that you can throw in the bottom of your pocket and have it when you need it, this is absolutely. 100% recommend. PS I recommend you mechanically lock out the light when you are not using it so it doesn’t turn on accidentally in your pocket. The electronic lockout works well but it’s sort of a pain to unlock quickly so I prefer just to give the cap about a 1/8 twist and it will never turn on until you tighten the cap again and start it up. PPS the clip broke on the very first time I tried to attach to my cap but Thrunite customer support responded to my email within hours and is sending a replacement. What a great company!

Wanted a decent EDC penlight awhile and after researching around 50 went with this instead, because it's brighter, the battery lasts much longer then most penlights and it weighs about the same or less. Positives: The size/weight, ease of use, durability and longevity of this light make it a very worthy EDC one or backup. Size/Weight: Super tiny was shocked when I first saw it expecting a bit larger, but this is great for carrying it and forgetting about it. For things you want to constantly carry with you or clip on hats this is perfect, so tiny and lightweight you will not even notice it at all. Ease of use: The button menu for this light is not overly complicated at all especially if you compare it to some modern lights using the overly complex ones. It has a memory on/off function returning to the last light intensity setting used and changing it just involves holding the button down till you get one of the 3 choices. The firefly mode you just hold the button while it's turned off and the SOS feature require some fast clicks to access from any state. To make sure the light is disabled you can untwist it till hitting the power button does nothing. Durability: It says it's drop rated for 3 feet and (being 6 ft tall) I unintentionally got to test those claims out twice already. Once I dropped it on a wooden floor from my lap (roughly 2-3 feet) and it had zero damage afterwards. The next time I dropped it again off my lap while getting out of a SUV I was working on (roughly 3 feet) and it fell hard onto the cement below bounding off the head of the light, this time it had very minor damage on the plastic grey rim around the top a small chip and on the side with the cooling fins a tiny mark appeared which shows the bare metal under the black paint. After both of these drops it worked perfectly fine as they had claimed.(Edit.. it's now 9/10/25 and still using this light a few times daily, dropped it over 20 times by now and it is covered in dings and scratches, but no issues.) Longevity: If you mainly use the lower lumen settings it will last you all day long. The medium setting is plenty bright and will last 5.5 hours, low is great for prolonged camping trips for 44 hours and the firefly mode is very conserving lasting 27 days is great for emergencies. ----- Negatives: Short design, gets hot on turbo setting fast Short design: This thing is almost too short when holding it in a hand your pinky finger will not be needed making griping it for prolonged times more awkward(at least it has a clip). I really wish they would sell an extended tube option with larger battery options to correct this and add more longevity for this light at higher ranges. (Edit.. Found out they do sell one VERY close to this the ThruNite T1 Pro for $30, only difference is it has a infinity range step not a simple 3 one like this model. But otherwise is better in all ways) Gets hot on turbo setting fast: It gets really hot quickly and I don't trust it to step down and continue going while being so hot, even after it remains very warm and takes awhile to cool. Only use turbo for few second bursts if at all. ---- Extra thoughts: Grab a small 24.5mm(head of the light) range Diffuser Tip for this light, they're great for lighting up an entire area around you while camping if you leave it hanging. I wish they had included a lens cap built into the lanyard to protect it from scratches while carrying and keep the lanyard in place better(it could even have been the missing diffuser). I wish the light had a wider range of lumen mode options between medium and high, high should have been 200lm making it have a more useful 160mins at that setting and then a very high option with the 400lm. ---- Conclusion: The light is fairly priced for $30(Edit..They sell them for $25 now wow) and with extra coupons seems like a great deal. I removed one star for its very minor shortcomings, but overall it almost got a 5. If only they would make it a bit longer, add a larger battery and more lumen options this is 5 star worthy.

The latest version of Thrunite's well priced pocket flashlight comes with a USB-C charging port, a welcome upgrade from the past models' mini USB. It fits easily in the pocket of jeans or other casual pants, though I'd carry a smaller light in dressier clothes. It also feels good to use, even in my big hands. The construction is solid, with just a few chips in the paint after months of light, daily use. The one lumen firefly mode is great for navigating a dark house at night without disturbing others. It has three steps of regular brightness -- I find that I rarely if ever need the brightest mode, and have never used the strobe. The single button controls all the modes, and has a lockout function to prevent the light from turning on unintentionally.

I run early in the mornings comma and for over half the year that means I’m running in pitch black. Needless to say, having an easy to carry capable flashlight with simple user controls is a must. I’ve tried a few, and two of my all-time favorites came from this brand, ThruNite. This one has excellent throw, but not a lot of flood. That’s pretty good for my use case, but some people may prefer a little bit more flood to their flashlight. It’s also smaller than I expected, which was a huge win for me, since I’m carrying this in my hand for about an hour and a half at a time. Easy recommendation.
