Alright guys today we're going to be looking at my current EDC flashlight.
What I have here is that Thrunite Ti3, you probably saw it in my EDC
video, you haven't I'll put a link to that in the description. The packaging that
this light comes in is really nice. It comes in this aluminum box here, about the
size of an Altoids tin, and for those of you that watch a lot of preparedness
videos on YouTube you know what that means. We can make an Altoids tin style
survival kit out of this, repurposed this box here. Up to now I have not found an EDC light
that I like as good as this one. Ill just go over a few things that I like best about it.
I love how small this thing is. You can just put it in your pocket and you
almost don't even know it's there until you need it . And kind of going along with that,
this clip as high as it rides up on the end of the line there, allows you to
carry it super deep in your pocket. that's good because it can prevent you
from losing it or if all that in your pocket.
this is a really nice tight clip. I will say, when I first got it I tool the clip off and
bent it a little more right here at that joint so it would be a little bit
tighter on here but paired with these really nice serrations on this flishlight
it gives you a pretty good grip on your pocket when you have a cliped in and as
well as when you're holding it.
talking a little bit more about the clip this clip can come off and the good
thing about that is you can reverse it and then you can clip this light onto the
brim of your hat and use it as a headlamp. I've also put a small paracord
lanyard on the end of it just gives you a little extra security when you're
carrying it so you don't have to worry about it falling out of your hand and you
losing it. I wanna talk a little bit more about the size of this flashlight
and im just gonna give you a little comparison, this is a standard triple A battery and
this flashlight is almost the same size as a triple A battery and that's amazing
to me. the most amazing thing about the size of this flashlight is that it still
has a really high output and we'll get into that a little bit later. I'm just
gonna go over some of the specs on this last like has a Cree XP g2 r5 LED, now I'm
not going to pretend I know exactly what that means but it does say that has a
twenty-year run time on that bulb so you never have to worry about that
going bad on you. like I said earlier it runs off of a single triple A battery.
And this thing comes in right at about two and three quarters in length in
about half an inch and width. This thing only weighs 12 grams without the battery
that is super light and like I said you're really not gonna feel it in your
pocket until you need it. And it has an orange peel reflector I don't know if
you can see that in camera there but what that does for you is instead of a
super bright spotlight, it going to have a lot more flood to it, its going to light
up a larger area. Since this is just an EDC light I think thats going to be
more beneficial than a super tight beam. Its made of of aircraft quality aluminum, it has
a type 3 hard anodized anti-abrasive finish and you can see it is already
starting to get a little bit of ware, but this is a tough little light. it does advertise
being waterproof and has an O-ring seal this gonna keep water from getting in
there and this battery is under really good spring tension what that means is
if you'll notice when you get a lot of really cheap flashlights the battery isn't
under much tension and because of that if you shake it a lot while the
flashlight is on, the light may cut in and out. I've never had that problem on the
Ti3
This light doesn't have a clicky switch, its a twist top and I like that for my
EDC flashlights because I've had a lot of trouble when I sit down I may
accidentally activate the switch on those type flashlights and I'll run out
the battery just while its in my pocket and you won't have that problem with a twist
top light. I'm gonna get into the output and run time of the light. Now it has three functions, if
you twist it all the way tight you're gonna get Firefly mode, this is super
dim, its only 0.04 lumens and what that's good for as if you're
reading a book or a map or something or maybe it's dark and you want to preserve
your night vision you just need to look at a number on something that's what
that's good for. That Firefly mode will run for a hundred and fifteen hours . If you
twist it off and back on you're gonna get the low mode is 12 lumens, and that's
going to accomplish most of your everyday needs... you dropped something under
your desk and you need to look at or you look in your truck tool box at night.
This is going to accomplish most everything throughout your day and
that's going to be able to run for six point three hours and the next setting
turned it off turn it back on your gonna get high. Now you may not be able to tell
on camera here but we're go outside here in a minute
high is super bright for a flashlight this size. It's a hundred and twenty lumens
and it will stay on bright for up tp a half hour have seen reviews where this will
last up to an hour on high. And that is super bright for flashlight the size of
a triple-a. Ive not been able to find one this size with that kind of output.
There is a fourth function I'm not sure how realistic it is on
small little EDC light like this especially a twist top, but if you
twist this thing on and off six times you'll get a strobe mode, that may come in handy
it does take a little bit of time to get to but... it's kind of cool that has it.
It is super easy to operate this light one handed so that's not gonna be an
issue. They do offer the Ti3 in a view different versions you can get the
cool white light, a more natural light, and you can get in a titanium colo.
instead the black. I went with the cool white light I do prefer that to the more
natural light but you get what you want. So let's take this thing outside and
show you what it looks like a night. We are outside now and it's raining a
little bit so im gonna try to get this done fast
first the firefly mode and that's really not bright enough to see anything
other than really close like I said earlier this is ment mainly just for a
reading light or something like that.
low is gonna light up that building up there pretty good, like I said the low is only 12
lumens and that buildings about 20 yards away. But this will light up the area
pretty good lick I said for your regular everyday, this is gonna do most
everything needed to do. Then we have the high. High is really super bright for a
flashlight this size, it's a hundred and twenty lumens and it lights up that
building a really good from 20 yards away and you can see that it really lights
up the area pretty good it gives a nice wide beam and for a flashlight this I
don't think you could do any better. Thanks for watching I know there's a lot of
great flashlights out there and a lot of you guys are probably carrying something
different but if you don't have a good EDC light, I highly recommended the Trunite Ti3
If ou carry something different
put it down the comments below, we would love to talk about it, get some more
options
I am gonna be doing some more flashlight reviews in the future so give me your ideas and I'll
try to get it out to you guys. But as always thanks for watching please like share
and subscribe and ill see you next time.
