ThruNite TH20 Pro 1010 Lumen Rechargeable LED Headlamp, Powerful Right Angle Flashlight Compatible with AA Battery, for Indoor & Outdoor Adventures in Hiking, Camping, Cycling(Cool White)

Headlight versatility, conveniency, durability makes it a work aide for dim light situation. I will buy again.

I don't want a flashlight that has 20 different modes that I need to read a manual to activate. This has simple intuitive controls and not too many options. I wanted a headlamp that takes AA batteries since I got a ton of eneloops and I don't trust the reliability of built-in batteries. I'm using the included battery for now but when it dies, I'll be able to keep using my eneloops. I use it on medium and that gives me plenty of runtime and the light is adequate for close-up work. Adjusting the angle is easy and I like that it doesn't use a hinge that could fail over time. Remembers the setting even though I leave it unscrewed between uses as a precaution against battery drain. If you like simple tools, this is the headlamp for you.

The smell of barbershops makes me sob out loud

The new TH20 Pro institutes a number of changes from the previous iteration of this headlamp, the TH20. Weighing in at 81 grams with the strap included, this Pro model is lighter than it's predecessor by 19 grams. This may not seem like much but it does feel lighter when worn and makes it a little more backpacker-friendly than the older model. The new model I ordered was the "cool-white" version, so the rest of my review only applies to that version of the "pro." While things do look more natural in the "warm" or neutral version, at nighttime what is really important is simply being able to make out what it is that you are looking at--like "is that a dog or a coyote approaching my campsite?" With cool-white, clarity is improved but colors are "off." I have decided that sightseeing and appreciation of nature is best done during the daylight hours.The beam pattern on the cool version of the "Pro" model makes use of a TIR lens and thus is a more narrow focused beam with a large "hot-spot." This more narrow beam and increased throw makes the "cool-white" model well suited for nighttime running or for close up tasks where maximum light is needed. Although the beam is more narrow, it's all around usability is such that I wouldn't hesitate to use it for general camping. The range is good and the capability of having a 2 minute burst of (claimed) 1010 lumens is great for such a tiny headlamp.The included lithium-ion 14500 battery has a claimed 920 mAh capacity, which is quite respectable for a 14500 battery. The headlamp itself does not have an external charging port, a design which helps to maintain waterproofness over the long haul. The battery must be removed for charging, and it is the flashlight head which is removed instead of the tail. I do feel that this design increases the danger of dropping and damaging the light, despite the claimed 4.9 ft. impact resistance. The battery itself has a built-in charging port of the USB-C variety and also an LED to indicate it's status while charging. A USB-A to C type charging cable is included in the package. I do not know if the battery can be charged any other way than by using the built in port-- an important point to consider if you are taking it backpacking as you need to know what accessories you need to bring along in order to charge it. Thrunite's customer service never replied to my question regarding methods of charging. It also seems impossible to purchase another battery of similar design from Thrunite. I didn't see one on their website and again, Thrunite's customer service has not replied to my inquiry regarding that either. The included instruction sheet has basic specs and information, but the part mentioning which battery types are compatible was missing from the English portion of the instructions. Luckily I was able to discern from the German portion that it can work with Ni-Mh and alkaline batteries as well. Lithium disposables would have been my preference but as their voltage is higher and they are not mentioned in the instructions I don't know about compatibility with those. If you read the fine print you'll note that a "triple-click" will get you an "S.O.S." mode as well.The right angle design makes it easier than the previous model to remove from the rubber holder should you wish to use it as a flashlight instead of a headlamp. Personally I will never do so as I have several flashlights already, so the pocket clip I also find unnecessary for my needs. A couple of O-rings were provided, but no additional rubber holder as with the previous model.All in all, I do consider this to be a upgrade and it is now my preferred headlamp. The price is low for what you get but there may not really be any customer service, so you'll have to consider that if you decide to purchase one. A very nice headlamp, but I subtract one star for lack of any response from their customer service.

Works well

This light is awesome. Been using it for a few months now. It can withstand drops with no problems and keeps working fine. It has great versatility too. You can use it with the headband or take it off and use the clip to attach it to a hat or MOLLE straps on a plate carrier or backpack. I would definitely recommend for EDC use.

I live off grid and a headlamp is my primary source of lighting. This is unquestionably my new favorite headlamp. I do wish the 'moonlight' mode was a bit brighter and the 'low mode' a bit dimmer or that this had the continuously variable 'step' lighting of the earlier TH20, but, in spite of these minor misgivings I rate this headlamp as outstanding and very worthy of a five star rating. It is a very high quality and professional piece of equipment and at the going price it is an outstanding bargain as well. People that know me , know that I am very particular and for me to praise any product as I do this headlamp is rare. Buy one. I am certain you will be pleased.
