The Thorfire TG06S had a reversible clip, tailcap switch, good output on alkaline though it kicks butt with a 14500. High(500LM) -Middle(200LM) -Low(50LM)-Moonlight (1LM ), and Strobe(500LM); When powered by AA battery High(150LM) -Middle(80LM) -Low(20LM)-Moonlight (0.5LM ), and Strobe(150LM)
Wellp, if EDCing a light like that, it’d be turning on, off, on, off, on, off, etc., in your pocket all day. I’d rather it be that much harder to accidentally turn on.
And having to lock it out, whether physically or electronically, is even longer to turn on than even a longclick.
Besides, on the ’B, a fast doubleclick goes right to turbo anyway, and a shortclick off.
I read the reviews about the pwm and did not notice it (I could see the rainbow lines when watching media on projectors) so I bought it because it was less than $10. It’s my current EDC until I can get my Thrunite T10T working again.
I have many clicky AA’s, (Sofirn SF10, SF14, Lumintop Tool AA, Thrunite Archer 1A V3, etc) and in my opinion the best of all is the Acebeam M10
The sofirns and Lumintop are a “toy”, they can only sustain like 100lm, whereas the M10 pushes 200lm constant when using NIMH. The Thrunite is nice but it’s so big, nearly 18650 size
Utorch UT01
Does NOT come on in pocket
400 lumen at least with 14500
low is about 5 or 10
i really like it
very small, well made
no pwm
decent UI
light color is a little coolish
Isn’t quality control horrible on that light though? I keep reading constant complaints about the switch breaking, otherwise it would really appeal to me.
