Nowadays there are a lot of different flashlight brands and every single one promises to offer the best qualities in a flashlight at the most reasonable price tag.

This is ThruNite, the 2009 founded manufacturer that has been able to offer some simple but effective torches. There is nothing out of the ordinary found on ThruNite flashlights, instead, they are made to be reliable and not too complicated. This makes them ideal even for beginner users as they don’t need to learn switch controls in order to make the most out of their torch.
