PD68 Review: Thorfire S70 - XHP70 Monster

Your other reviews seem to cover any questions I have… Just awaiting your review…

I’d love to get a look at one of these, just to see how much brighter the XHP70 is than an XM-L2 :slight_smile:

I got one yesterday. I haven’t had much time with it yet but my initial impressions are good. A light like this for this price from Amazon was impossible 2 years ago.

Can’t wait. Subscribed.

I’m interested. It looks like the color temp might lean neutral from the pics. My AceBeam K60 is like that. Does it have anodized threads or can it be easily locked out?

I have gotten to where I really like the 2X 26650 configuration. When my pocket light (ZL SC62w) isn’t enough, I find myself reaching over my P60 and C8 lights and grabbing my 2X 26650 flashlights. Very utilitarian. They are multi-emmiter flashlights but this Thorfire should fit right in.

The description at Amazon says the tail switch is tactical. Does this mean forward clicky? I love a forward clicky that can be used as a one mode light, i.e., won’t change modes while using momentary.

Very promising beamshots, looking forward for more.

Review is up. Click on pics for full-size.

I meant to have a few physical measurements included, but my digital calipers are missing at the moment…

Thanks for the review I like the driver output settings. It’s got nice throw with flood.

Thank you Pilotdog68 for this review. It looks like a well built light with easy accessible components. I’ll definitely consider this one in my future builds.

I’d definitely be in for a group buy!

Nice review, thanks

Nice review! Thank you.
Really interesting light, and not too expensive either.

So it looks like the XHP series is becoming more popular by the big brands.

The color temp is definitely a cool white, but it’s not too bad. The typical Cree “rainbow” is present, with the spill light being much more blue than the hotspot. The AR lens may be contributing to this too.

Yes, it is a forward clicky.

Btw guys, for more/better pictures take a look at this review on CPF. He clearly has a better camera than me and beautiful lighting conditions.

My own pictures are courtesy of my cell phone, taken on a throw blanket spread across my living-room floor. Lighting is provided by my SP03 in ceiling bounce.

Very professional :slight_smile:

It is going to happen soon. :slight_smile: >>” https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/35973”:https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/35973

Very nice review…looks like it’s pretty moddable.

Need to know Reflector size, driver and mcpcb diameter’s? Also where is the shelf depth in relation to the outside of the head? Something like this…

Yeah I wanted to include that info. Hopefully I can find my calipers today

Great review still hoping to get to use mine this weekend. :frowning:
