Beast of a Flashlight for Home Preparedness.

Hey guys, it's Joe. Thanks for tuning in. Today's video is going to be about a flashlight. I've done a flashlight video in about six months. It's about time. I wanted to get this beast. ThruNite sent it to me. And I'm going to make a video to show you all about it. So the flashlight is called ThruNite TN40. This thing is a beast. You've got four bulbs in there. You can see it in the size of my hand. This is almost like the size of bigger than a teacup or a coffee cup around. long a little bit longer than a coke can plus and you can see just just the volume the size of it in my hand it's heavy it's a beast man with that it comes with this ac adapter it's charger uh just normal stuff you plug it in and then goes to the wall and then this part has a little flap and gets plugged into the bottom you can tell when it's charging when it's not uh the color changes i think it's like a purple to a blue but anyways also comes with a strap if you want to wear it wear it around your your shoulder and it comes with gaskets to make it water resistant so i'll give you all the geeky details on this all the specs all that stuff first let's go downstairs in my basement where it's dark as hell and i'll show you just how bright this thing is all right we're downstairs in this gear explosion that i call a basement got my old tn40 and right off the hop this is as low as it goes right super bright and i don't know the lumen off by heart but we'll We'll go through the lumens in a minute. So you hold down the button to switch through brightnesses, or modes. That's the second brightest. Mwah, aw, aw, aw. And then the third. Third, there's the third. So I guess I was wrong. So first is this. Still very bright. Mwah, ha, ha, ha, ha. Second, extremely bright. What am I doing wrong? Three. One, two, three. One, two, three. Anyways, and then you double click, and you got that, which is the brightest of the bright. can't even put it in my face it feels like I could light ants on fire with this so let's shut the light off so you got a little tiny bit of light coming from that angle and then so the windows allowing some light into I guess there with me blocking the light would be the best so now we can play with the flashlight see how much light we get off give off so that's the third that's as bright as she goes I put this at the ground you can stand it up because it's got a flat butt But look at how much light I get from that thing. And then if I put it on the very brightest, you wouldn't even need to have light bulbs in your house if the power went out, anything like that. That's the reason I got this, this specific model, is because I want to get into a little bit more of preparedness, having my house ready for natural disasters, zombies, aliens, whatever you want to call it, having a stockpile of goods that will help us continue through or make it easier until the power comes back on. so the good thing about this super bright so somebody tries to break in your house you put that in their eyes they're not coming in and it's got other uses too let's head upstairs we'll go through the geeky specs guys so I pulled up a few points online here specs about the the flashlight that I'd like to give you the selling points to me I'm not gonna give you everything because there there is availability online to get it things like that but so it's got something in it so it doesn't overheat it says the three-way ITC technology to prevent possible damage from overheating and i can when this thing is on i can feel the beam of heat coming off of it in the light but if i touch the actual glass it's not hot at all so i think that's what they're talking about the charging so i plug this in the wall when i got it i plug this in the wall for half a day and it was charged completely fine ready to go and i think if i'm not mistaken if there's a power outage you can use a generator to charge it right so you're not going out wasting money on batteries all the time you're not having to find these specialty batteries which I have been having to do lately for some of my headlights and stuff and it's getting a little bit annoying and pricey to be honest with you I do like the quality that it gives off the better batteries but with this you just charge it and you're good to go so what else does it say uses four advanced Cree XPL high LEDs with a lifespan of four years oh sorry a lifespan of 20 years so there's four bulbs in there the max output is 4450 lumens and the max beam distance goes 1150 meters so that's something man what else we got, what else we got, that's about it, like basically straightforward, it's a big heavy-duty flashlight that's gonna give you a lot of life, it's gonna give you a lot of beam, it's gonna give you a feeling of safety protection, maybe who knows, for other people this might be different things. This might be a car light for some people. This is going to be my house light. This is going to be the power goes out, if there's an intruder, if there's a natural disaster, anything like that, and this is going to be in my kit. So I hope this was helpful for you guys. Once again, this is a ThruNite TN40. I hope it was helpful. I hope it answered some questions. I hope it showed you a new product maybe on the market, something you can think about getting. I am going to do a little bit of a video series, if you will, on home preparedness because I am not that guy. Like I tell you right now, I'm not going to be teaching anything. I'm not going to be showing this is how you need to do it because this is how I do it. No, I'm going to be doing it, learning as we go. It's going to be common sense things, stockpiling food, having different bags throughout your house with different things in it that you might be able to grab or things that you can use in an emergency, stuff like that. Nothing crazy. Nothing TED Talky, nothing zombies, even though I'm joking about it. Just straightforward, normal stuff. So, thanks for watching, guys, and I'll see you on the next one. Goodbye.
