My review of the ThruNite TC20 3800 Lumen USB rechargeable flashlight. I have been using this Thrunite flashlight in my videos for about a month and like it enough that I am adding it to my Chigg’s Choice playlist. In this video I unbox the flashlight and most importantly, go out into the field to actually use it and show you what it can and cannot do. Overall, I really like this flashlight and it is now my everyday carry flashlight for my video making adventures.

According to their web-site, if you pre-order the TC20, ThruNite is offering a 20% discount. I believe it said until 4/15. Just put “20%” in the promo space. Brings the price down to $71.95.
Total Luminous Output may be expressed in candela or in lumens. This is a measure of the entire light output of the flashlight regardless of beam focus. It is almost solely a function of the lamp, and for practical purposes is equal to the lamp output which lamp manufacturers rate in Mean Spherical Candela (Sometimes called Mean Spherical Candlepower which is not the same as peak beam intensity), or in lumens. Multiply candela by 12.57 to convert to lumens. For example, the 20 watt lamp used in the SL-35X is rated at 450 lumens or 35.8 Mean Spherical Candela.
Peak Beam Intensity (Candlepower) is a measure of the brightest spot in the focused beam. It is a function of both the output of the lamp and the efficiency of the reflector. The focused spot of light has the same intensity that a bare source of unfocused light of the same candlepower would produce on the same area from the same distance. For example, a flashlight of 20,000 beam candlepower would project, within its “hot spot,” the same amount of light on a wall as would a bare lamp of 20,000 candela at the same distance. Typical values of beam candlepower will run into the tens of thousands for powerful rechargeable flashlights.
Since the Total Output system does not take into account the focusing efficiency of the reflector, there is no way to convert between peak beam candlepower and lumens.
Additionally, all light rating systems depend on the perception of the human eye and are therefore subjective. Another important factor besides absolute intensity is the whiteness (technically the Color Temperature) of the light source. If two equally intense light sources differ in color temperature, the eye will perceive the whiter source (higher color temperature) to be brighter than the more yellow one. Color temperature is expressed in degrees on the Kelvin scale. A very white flashlight lamp will be rated around 3200 K.*
i have epilepsy so thanks for the seizure…lol. You at Fripp Island..???
Wow the vegetation down there almost seems like Florida?? I thought your in Maryland?
That is one powerful small light.
Nice set up! Funny! That light does seem like a great one. Is there a connection here I should use so you get credit referring me?
Nice light. Is this one of those that has the luminary output strong enough o ignite a piece of paper What is the price range?
We have um skunk apes down here in my neck of the woods
I want one
Beau you should not use flashings lights on your videos without warnings first as for some people it can trigger an epileptic fit. Bernie
Less flashlights more metal detecting
Being one of your close personal friends must be a riot. The things you think up are hilarious! Loved this review even if I did have to close my eyes for the blinking part. Thanks for warning ahead of time you were going to do it by the way, those of us with sensitivity to blinking lights, thank you.
were you using the cool white or the neutral White?
made me jump lol
Is it made in the U.S.?
Hey, Chig,
I always save the silica gel packets. I “recharge” them and keep a few in my gear bags and boxes. Recharge every six months or year in the oven on a tray at 300 degrees for about two hours. Be sure to prop the door open a bit to allow the moisture to escape. Love your viseos.
Nice flashlight but $200. No way!
Well he’s not at his house unless he got a landscape make over
Sponser video
OMG love the end!
Ok, I might have peed just a spot.
2:42 Man these companies need to get good English translations. Stuff like that gives a bad first impression. It also doesn’t bode well that they are one of the companies that ask for good ratings on amazon when you buy or try their product. Just further degrades the already untrustworthy amazon rating system.
I’m glad they are sponsoring this channel though, that’s a plus. And I must admit despite the red flags, it could still be a great product. Good review!
Holy Crap!!!!! You scared the SH*T out of me….my heart is still racing! heheheheheheheh
DOWN SOUTH, WE HAVE SWAMP APES….. THEY ARE A LOT MEANER THAN A SAMSQUATCH. STRONGER THAN BIGFOOT AND QUICKER THAN A YETI………………………………………. however no match for a THRUNITE…. This will freeze them in their tracks every time…
Hi I enjoy your videos so much, but may I ask what are samsqenches ? So any way nice touch good review of it, from down under in Tasmania Australia.
I love night time chigg videos!
And remember hold your breath
2:28 Who else was going to eat it?
Pity they don’t ship to New Zealand.
Awww no flashlight give away
I like the light real funny Boulder 10 that was cool I like that it’s trees look real good that is pretty place especially the Palm sticker ground sticker Weeds on the ground enjoyed it

You watchin’ the tide roll away chigg ?
You’re such a fun-loving goofy guy. Nice flashlight btw.
That 26650 lithium cell 4.2 volt can produce a massive amount of power that’s for sure. It’s just a little smaller than a D cell 1.5 volt
Be glad you are there in March. In another month or so, around all that moss, you would be eaten up with “red” chiggers. LOL
Beau you just made whole lot people wish they had some depends on!!!
Awesome video.you kinda got me at the end thuo.lol
well THAT was scary!! lol good job!!
