Id be in for a TG06 high CRI nichia. And 4000-5000k lights in general.
Just a test.
For a true EDC light, moonlight is a must. Thing is, people have different definitions of “moonlight”, and seem to conflate all of them. I prefer to distinguish them as “low-low”, “moonlight”, and “firefly”.
“low-low” is the brightest of the bunch, similar to low but actually lower. It’s probably a few lumens, good for grubbling around in a bag to find your keys.
“moonlight” is next down, maybe 1lm or so, enough for lighting up a clock from across the room at night without ruining your night-vision.
“firefly” is lowest, able to look right at the LED without squinting, a fractional-lumen, just enough to read something close-up without ruining your night-vision.
Again, some people find “moonlight” on their lights to be too bright, others not bright enough. Good luck trying to make everyone happy.
The brightness levels I see on my VG10 are about perfect for me. I’d recommend keeping those. 
Ditto. Whatever light I have at night, I make sure is set on its lowest setting. I’m even using my S2+ less and less (read, hardly at all anymore) because generic “low” is just way too bright in the middle of the night.
I LOVE CRI
TG05
Lights went out here a few days ago. So time to put my new (Jan. 2017) VG10 to use as a nightlight in moonlight mode. Barely able to tail stand, with a good amount of lean. It would be nice if the switch cap was recessed a little in relation to the tailcap. Really like this light a lot.
I would love a VG-15 XPL-Hi!
Hosts would be excellent to sell in any of your lights. I’ve modded the new version and old version C8s, the TG06, the VG15, and a few VG10s. They are all very easy to mod and it would give us a chance to put what we want in them. I’m sure you’ll sell quite a few more going just the host route because your flashlight bodies are very good quality.
i would love to see a thorfire c8 HOST, also an option to buy spare c8 tail assemblies, plus eventualy a 50mm head c8 version

Moonlight Update:
Moonlight is important for 80% of us:
YES - 16
NO - 4
Moonlight preferred output (Lumens) :
0.1 lm - 4 or 29%
0.2 lm - 1 7%
0.3 lm - 1 7%
0.5 lm - 1 7%
0.9 lm - 3 or 21%
1.0 lm - 4 or 29%
Interesting that k-wong’s poll showed that 0.5 lumen is the most popular output
Wonder why no one ever had a UI where, say, if you had 4 “slots” of light output, you just set 1-255 “clicks” for each setting (setting to 0 means skip that slot). 1 flash for slot 1, through 4 flashes for slot 4. You set ’em as you want ’em. Lets you set:
• firefly, low, mid, high
• mid, low, mid, high
• high, mid, low, moonlight
or whatever your twisted little hearts desire.
Then, no one’d be bitching about “moonlight” being too bright or too dim, or about HML/LMH ordering, or about mode-spacing, etc.
And 255/0/0/0 would be a 1-mode on/off light. 10/255/0/0 would be moon/turbo. Etc.
Gimme a VG10 with that UI, and I’ll kiss ya on the mouth.
+1 I think it would be a smash hit.
To what frequency PWM, you think would be a good one?
S70S
Anyone would be interested in Thorfire host?
VG-10, C8 ….etc
What parts should be included with the host and which shouldn’t?
tube, head, lens, mcpcb, tail switch, driver etc….
C8, VG10, & TG06. Include everything in a complete light except for LED, MCPCB, and driver. Different colored rubber buttons would be nice also, in case you want multiple hosts and have different ideas for each light.
Nice form! I just used that to submit my interest in the TG05 host.
