If I feel the need that my Nitecore EA41 torch isn't enough or get obsessed with torches, I think the Nitecore Tiny Monster TM26 looks like a good upgrade and it looks like a much more manly torch then the EA41.........

Do want, but do not need :S

Yeah I want, but I do not need. Like atm Im still using my old style bulb torch as I am having the EA41 for xmas. Im sure the EA41 will be more then bright enough and suitable for my needs. I need a torch more flood then range and the EA41 looks quite floody in the reviews I have seen..

I will probably never get another torch, but I can dream and with the Tiny Monster being over £200, the EA41 will probably be the brightest decent one I can afford :mad:

How the hell did you get it for £38, I want 1? You sure its the real deal?

Minstadave · 19 Dec 2014 at 22:20

That's just the customs charge.

Yeah I have just realised, opps. I was just thinking how the hell could he got it for £38

{SAS}TB · 19 Dec 2014 at 22:51

Indeed it was about £160 for the torch and 4 batteries (Massdrop) and even with the custom charge still a lot cheaper than i could find it for anywhere else slightly reputable

I think the price I paid for stuff like the Jetbeam BC40 and Thrunite TN31 I don't really want to buy any other torch that expensive again having see what is possible although those tinymonsters are rather amazing

The polished stainless steel L2 with XP-L drop-in does feel like the end game torch for me. It now completely fulfils 100% of my uses from throw to flood to long run times and the moonlight mode works wonders for when I need light but don't want to ~~get caught~~ be seen

My Thrunite TN36 was £131 shipped direct from Thrunite via Amazon.de which only took 2 days. Much cheaper than a Tiny Monster and on par quality wise as I've owned some in the past.

Phil2008 · 19 Dec 2014 at 23:18

Theres the Tiny Monster TM36 1800lumens also, that is more of a thrower then a flooder at 1100meters, compared to the 445meters of the Tiny Monster TM26 3400lumens

But could you spend £200+ on a torch? I guess I could if I really really wanted it, but still I would think long and hard about it first. It took me a good few months to spend £60 for my EA41 and by the time I had thought about it, it was comming up Christmas time, so I thought "what the hell I'll have it for a present"

Sorry for the hotlinking, Ive just read up about it.. Opps :eek:

My Thrunite TN4A turned up this morning:

silversurfer · 21 Dec 2014 at 22:47

Anybody seen something cheap and cheerful recently? A useful amount of light but under £15 as it'll be disposable and uk source

I have 18650 and charger and a really old but intact trustfire-f20 case and lens

Just jumped in to the torch world by getting a SolarForce L2P with the XP-L V3 (3 mode).
Also getting Eagletac battery and Nitecore i2 charger. Cant wait!

Ive had a few torches (up to a £280 Fenix) but now just use a £1 inc delivery Ultrafire CREE Q5.

It takes a single AA or 14500, lasts ages on a single AA or even longer on the Nitecore 14500 750mAh battery I have. It also have a single on/off button and you can zoom the lens head so its either flood or beam. The hotspot is not round due to the poor led but hwat do you expect for £1!
Its not much bigger than the battery and great for general in house use and the odd place like festivals and holidays

BananaDunka · 22 Dec 2014 at 19:40

Beamshots of those Thrunites please!

silversurfer · 23 Dec 2014 at 14:36

Is Fenix a good brand ? Tk22 920 lumens for 9 quid allegedly and next day which seems too good

I have a couple of Fenix torches, and they are good. This should be £75, so for £9 it's a bargain, or fake.
