THRUNITE TH02 The Outsider Headlamp Review

The Thrunite TH02 Red Outsider is a headlamp packed with features. Micro-USB charging, included 18350 cell, indicating e-switch, and more!

Versions

There are at least two body colors – black and red (seen here). The product page lists two emitter options too – just CCT differences. Cool white (CW) and neutral white (NW). My sample is cool white.

Price

The Outsider Red version sells for $49.95 right now. The black version is a little less expensive, at $45.95.


Thrunite TH02 Red Outsider Headlamp Short Review

This headlamp really churns out the lumens. It’s rated at 1500 lumens, but I’m seeing so much more in my testing…. And fairly well sustained, too. Nice user interface, available in NW and also red body, with overall great quality and reasonable cost – this seems like a good headlamp option.

^ Measurement disclaimer: I am an amateur flashlight reviewer. I don’t have $10,000 or even $1,000 worth of testing equipment. I test output and such in PVC tubes!! Please consider claims within 10% of what I measure to be perfectly reasonable (accurate, even).

I feel like the light is in the package upside down. Not that it really matters…

Solid build quality overall here. There’s nothing I’d ding on this light at all. First here are pics of all the sides.

Now a top-down view of the “front.”

Might be confusing if I don’t put some text here to break up these two photos. It’s just a one emitter headlamp.
