    Thank you for this very instructive video! The differens between an old flashlight and a modern LED flashlight is indeed enormous. I have updated my very old 3D Maglite to a LED version myself, and experienced this. By the way I have also very good experience of a modern Thrunite flashlight as well, so thank you Thrunite for your flashlights and for making the kind of videos possible.

    I have several Thrunite flashlights and as far as the LEDs go I think all of them are comparable but where I think Thrunite stands out is the switch. I hate lights with crappy switches that make it flicker or not get full brightness. Thrunite has the best switches I've ever seen.

  • @tedfiedler1038
    @tedfiedler1038 Před rokem

    Good comparison of led vs conventional. I’ve replaced all of my old Maglights with more modern led / rechargeable lights. The only time the Maglight excels is when you really need a club, can’t beat 4 d cells…

    Kind of amazing that anyone would still use incandescent bulbs instead of LEDs. Or single-use lead batteries instead of lithium, or at least NiMH. The Maglite is an antique; flashlights with two or three 26650s and one or more LEDs in a similar form factor are superior in every way.
