The ThruNite Catapult V2 version has been designed to be a search & rescue and tactical flashlight without peer.

The new version has been improved in many ways compared to the previous Catapult.

We re-designed the new driver without a MCU, which allows it to accept higher input voltage and current in our search in improving the output. We made important changes in five ways:
1) We are using an IC with higher efficiency at the heart of our circuit. With higher efficiency, less heat is produced.
2) Eliminating the MCU allows our circuit to have a greater range of operating temperature. Now it will work when the outside temperature ranges from minus 30C to over 130C, making it perfect for tactical applications where reliability is a must.
3) Because of the high output of the light (and resulting heat generated by the LED), we added an automatic overheat shutdown function. When the circuit senses temperature in excess of 120C, it will automatically shut down. When the temperature has cooled to below 120C, it can be turned on again. This will prevent damage to the light and give it a longer working time.
4) We have selected premium quality 2oz brass PCBs to increase the heat dissipation ability. This allows the light to handle the heat easily, and reliably.
5) We eliminated the anodized layer between the LED and electronic housing. In our tests, after removing this layer, the heat transfer rate is increased 15 times. When the LED is working, this allows the heat to dissipate more effectively, especially important for LEDs under such high current, allowing for greater brightness and increasing the LED’s lifespan. We are continually seeking ways to improve our lights, and this was a great advancement.

The Catapult’s aluminium bezel has been replaced with a stainless steel on the Catapult V2. This allows for a much higher impact resistance, making it much more effective in tactical situations.

The Catapult V2’s ergonomic design enables it to be used for extended periods of time without fatigue. It provides an anti-slip surface and grip design to lessen any chance of dropping the light.

While many of our competitors use softer and more affordable 6061 aircraft aluminum, we craft our lights from the ultra-strong 7075 aircraft aluminum and coated with mil-spec hard anodizing, making the Catapult V2 extremely durable and well made. With its massive output from the state-of-the-art Luminus SST-50 LED, the Catapult V2 sets a new standard in LED flashlights for both pure output and throw.

The beam of the Catapult V2 has been fine tuned to offer maximum throw while still providing massive amounts of spill. Whether used for search and rescue, security operations, boating or any activity requiring tons of illumination, especially at a distance,
