Thoughts on the Thrunite Catapult V6? (lemmy.ca)

I'm so glad to see this community here!!

I was a big lurker of /r/flashlight a few years back. Later, on a whim, I bought a Thrunite Catapult V6 cause of an Amazon ad. Never really went back to check people's thoughts on it though -- how is it as a midrange throw light? Is it still competitive in 2023?

Which LED? It's been offered with the XHP35 HI and the SST70.

As a practical light, neither version is obsolete at all, though if you're comparing performance numbers (especially burst output) with other lights on the market today, the XHP35 HI might seem a bit behind.

That's probably true, but I'd take an XHP35 HI over an SST-70 any day. I still love my older Cat V6, though it really doesn't get much use these days.

Thanks for the info! No clue which one I have, the Amazon listing got removed unfortunately

If you post a photo of the emitter, we'd be happy to tell you. 🔦
