Why did you pick this product vs others?:I've purchased Thrunite flashlights before and I love them! they work great, hold a charge for a long time, and provide a level of brightness that helps you see things clearly.

This one throws a lot of light…happy with purchase

Nice flashlight. Gets a little hot when used to long. Battery life is good.

Super bright and as described

Love this light, it's a bit large for pocket carry but still very compact for what it is. Doesn't get to hot either.

A product has to truly impress me in order to write a review, so here I am. I'm a fairly frugal person who would typically frown upon spending this much money on a flashlight, but the truth is you can buy several cheaper ones or just buy this one.I've had this flashlight for nearly 6 months and after playing with the different high power modes (High and Turbo) the first few nights I had it, I gave it a full charge and started using it for "normal use". Normal use for me is daily use in the early morning and late at night while walking the dog (15 to 20 min) or doing the occasional household task that requires some light. For normal use as described, the low setting is more than adequate and performs the same as or better than most $20 to $30 flashlights, but here's the amazing thing to me. After 1 full charge and almost exclusive normal use, the flashlight is still running off of 1 charge about 5 1/2 months ago using the battery that shipped with the flashlight. Again, I typically operate on low, but not "fire-fly" which is another setting with a lower output good for basic indoor use. I'm sure I'll have to recharge it soon, but it has blown away every expectation I had.Before deciding on this purchase I did a lot of research into different brands a lumen outputs etc and I decided I wanted a beam "thrower", but wanted a decent amount of surrounding light as well. IMO this flashlight nails the best of both worlds. If I had to put numbers on it, it's say this is a 90% thrower and 10% "flood". It it VERY useful as a practical light, but gives you the satisfaction of casting an incredible beam.One last thing, this flashlight is a perfect size. It's on the smaller side and outperforms larger MagLites I have. There are lots of pics and vids available on YouTube, so I haven't posted anything, but I may try to get some night video of spotting some local wildlife.Bottom line is I'm very satisfied with this purchase!***Update 8/15/2020*** My initial review/opinion has not not changed. This flashlight continues serve everyday use and works just as well 1 1/2 years later.***Update 11/15/2021*** Still my every day go to flashlight!

Really great flashlight to be using at night at work has a good long throw to spot oncoming cars and reflects good of in the distance signage next to the road and rails.

I have been taking this fantastic torch on my nightly walks up in the Calabasas hills since June 2021. My Mrs. carries a smaller ThruNite torch which has more of a spreading beam. I love the Catapult as we can easily spot all the beautiful nightlife. Owls, Cayotes, Raccoon families, Skunks, Muskrats, Tarantulas, Scorpions, etc, etc. You feel secure as you know the light can always go up a notch if needed, and any late night car drivers can easily spot you. One night we somehow smacked the metal grip of my Mrs. ThruNite straight onto the lens of my Catapult as we were walking! it shattered the tough glass! I contacted the team at ThruNite to ask how to order a replacement. They very kindly sent me a brand new lens at no cost, Amazing after sales service, that kind of care makes me want to buy the next model up, Thank you!!
