Best Flashlights Choices: Thrunite TH20 Headlamp, Best Single AA Headlamp Ever!

This is the Thrunite TH20 Headlamp, 520 lumens max output with a 14500 battery and 250 lumens from a NiMH AA cell! Very crazy deal for a $30 range headlamp. Have you handled some average joe grade headlamp from the big box store before? Ugly beam, low lumens, and very crappy plastic. This one is made from good metal, runs on both AA and 14500 cells, powerful, durable, and reliable, with a good company that backs you up in case of anything. What's better than a Thrunite TH20? I just put the Thrunite T01 beside the box as a reference, so you know how small the package is!! Before I get into the review, let's give you all the links for purchasing this flashlight!

The bottom of the box

Open up the box, and there goes a well packaged headlamp. It's so small and so nicely packed, like as if it is jewelry out of a box! I like how Thrunite package their products, it's a nice presentation!

There is a spare rubber holder piece below the light, and also the manual and such.

These are all the goodies inside the box. 2 spare o-rings, one spare holder, manual, welcome card, the light with head strap, and air from Thrunite's factory.

The light! Thrunite TH20 is slim, slick and sexy!

Of course, the LED here, with a pretty unique look. Not sure how that orange peel rim works, but I am sure the light is more of a diffused beam than a focused beam. This headlamp is going to be a practical light for those who needs to work with medium range to close range, such as fishing, boating, camping, BBQ, and such. It's not a long range headlamp - but we have got their TH10 for that job!

The bottom.

One side of the light is the camp that you opens up - gosh this is small! Look at the cap compared to a Canadian quarter. The light is even smaller than the quarter! I think the TH20 and TH10 is kind of similar, while the TH10 is smaller and meant for a closer range purpose.

Notice the gold plated spring and thick wall of the flashlight itself? There is also a plastic piece that lowers your battery to one side, which I think is because of the LED sticking out the front, so the battery got to be pushed to one side to fit.

Take a close look at the inside.

The button is very unique, you can click it once to turn it on, hold for it to gradually dims down or brighten up to infinity. Then after it reaches the highest point, it will blink and you will know it has stopped. Then when you double click, you get your highest mode. When the light is off, and you hold the button for a few seconds, you get your firefly mode. I love this UI, it's so unique and so practical! The Nitecore HC90 used to be cool with this gradual-dimming and brightening feature, but the HC90 just love to be accidentally turned on, the switch is too lose and too easy to click over by accident when carried in a bag. I prefer the Thrunite TH20 for sure. Not forget that this light runs on AA or 14500, which is super friendly for all audience!

The more you use it, the more you like it! The light is bright and offers you a good spready beam. The light is also very slim in size, it's like a smaller brother of the TH10 when put side by side!

I put an Olight 14500 in the light and boom! There goes 520 lumens! It's a very nice beam profile and brightness. The 520 lumens seems legit, and has a similar beam color as the TH10 too. The best mode on this light is the FIREFLY MODE! I cannot explain it, but you need a firefly mode for these lights! When it's pitch black out there, a firefly mode really helps without using up all your battery juice!

Thrunite TH20 vs TH10 side by side, you can see the TH10 is larger and heavier, but it uses a 18650 battery, with a longer beam distance, which is meant for longer range. If you are hiking and such, the TH10 is for you. If you want a light for close up or mid range, the TH20 is definitely the best headlamp I have owned so far. I am proud of this product! It beats all the headlamp I have here as of today!

The top is the TH10, bottom is Thrunite TH20. Much smaller in size!

The Nitecore HC30 used to be my favorite light for headlamp back then, because it is so small and uses a single 18650 cell for 1000 lumens. At the same time, it's has a 90 degree head, which is pretty unique and useful. I use the HC30 as a clip-on light on my messenger bag so it can help me brighten the road while I walk outside at night. Um.. To be honest, the Thurnite TH20 is better. Smaller in size, can use AA or 14500, plus, it has a more diffused beam, which makes it better for walking at night.

Thrunite TH20 beside Thrunite T01 keychain light. Wow, they are about the same length!

Thrunite TH20 beside a Canadian quarter. Small head and small bezel, I think this is so far the best headlamp I have owned and used. Looking forward to report how it works when I have used it at night for an extended period of time. Exciting!
