I have the TN20 running on AA, but I have some 14500 milliamp batteries on order. I'm a big fan of ThruNite Torches...I have six for various applications.
14500 is the size of the battery (14 mm diameter x 50 mm long). They are usually about 750 milli-amp hours capacity if you get a good brand. Hopefully you didn't by Ultrafire or some other cheap brand. I originally made that mistake. The cheap ones are cheap for a reason. They have about 1/3 the capacity of good batteries if you're lucky.
150 lumens vs. 500...aaaaaand thrunite wins.. :( idk man. its just not fair..then to say towards the middle that theyre both comfortable but towads the end a comfort issue is another point towards thrunite. just screams paid advertisement. reviews like this are so biased and piss me off. Making people feel like they should spend more when its not even a fair comparison. smh
For the most part, I like the way Thrunite does things, but I despise the way they suppress information about their lights. If you contact their CS they give you the run around and if you keep pressing they get snarky. There is no excuse for that.
The subtitle said 10440 (AAA size) battery in beginning of the video at 1:15. This light needs a 14500 (AA size) which you did state near the end.

Just ordered that thurnite head light, going to use it on my hard hat for work.

I just wish the ThruNite would have a red lens cover for night as I like to fish at night...The ThruNite is awesome...
That can easily be rigged... Just get some red cellophane and attach it to the lens... Problem solved.
Eddie O yep and it worked...He made a piece from a 20 oz. coke bottle and it works great...
Great review and show down!
Thanks
Fenix wins hands down (with regular batteries) Thrunight excels better with the upgraded battery.
I know its an old post, better is subjective. I prefere a wider hotspot on smaller headlamp, so thrunite wins hands down (for me)

I take it that you own the Fenix? It's a 29 dollar light bud, 5 bucks cheaper than the Fenix.
This is all it takes to tick you off......well alrighty then.

If i get 2 th20s i can put 2 on one headband and have even more light :)
I just wish Thrunite would come up with a more original design rather then making lights that are sooooo similar.
