ChrisC's Thorfire VG15S Review (AND 500 posts GIVEAWAY)

I personally feel that the change in tint and the extra mode (and output) are worth it. Sure it could have had a XPL-HI and it’d have been EPIC but as it is, it’s great.

The sob story can be made up if you want. If it makes me laugh I might put your name in three times.

Who knows.

In the end someone else will own this light and I’ll pay to post it to someone if they want it.

If not I’ll gladly keep it as its a cracking little light

I’d be interested, if shipping to Germany is cheap enough for you. Btw, I think

should be 66 and 70

Good point. I wrote it before weighing it and was meant to update it. Thanks for reminding me :slight_smile:

SOB story: A friend of mine left Trinidad a year or so ago. She moved back home which was Scotland. I was supposed to give her a light for the farm but we never met (fet moded XinTD). :person_facepalming: Now she has no super light. She has moved to the city now for a job but , I don’t know which city or even if it’s in Scotland or London since we don’t really talk that much anymore. sigh. If I win, she’ll get the light!

(EDIT: I’m not UK based so if I’m not included, it’s perfectly fine ! :slight_smile: )

Nice review :+1:
Would like to have it :wink:

Nice review. The S-model seems to be quite a step forward in performance.
Just bought a VG10 myself. For a song, I might add. Now I’m waiting for the VG10S :wink:

EDIT: Please, please me!

My sob story is that I am in USA and can not win.

But thanks for the review and letting it go to someone that may deserve it.

Thanks for sharing your review. I like the charts.

Is there some sort of step-down or thermal regulation going on? Somewhere between 2 and 3 minutes, lux falls considerably, and, thereafter, remains flat. I have speculated that the driver in the ThorFire VG15S is similar to the one used by the ThorFire C8s. If true, that would mean that the driver has no PWM, and also that it features a low-voltage warning.

Please include me in your giveaway. I am a bit of a ThorFire fan, so I would love to try this one out. If you want to favor members from the UK, however, I'm okay with that, too.

Here's a true story from my regular Monday backgammon group. We have a standing joke about making sure you pick up your dice cup—rather than your drink—when you go to roll the dice. Well, my friend Larry didn't roll his drink onto the board, but when his coffee came, he did accidentally pour sugar into his dice cup instead of the coffee. I don't think he was trying to "sweeten" his chances, but when he rolled, out came sugar and dice together!

Nice review! Looks like a nice light, even better if it’s free from your giveaway hahaha

Excellent review on a very nice light.

Thanks for the giveaway.

Nice review! Keep up your good work and thanks for your opportunity!

nice review
thank you for the opportunity

do you think there’s a timer o thermal controlled throttle down at 2-3 minutes?

There is definitely a timer controlling the step down. It happens at exactly 3 minutes. I took the results just after the 3 minute mark to indicate stepdown.

nice light. let me in if shipping to Ukraine is cheap enough for you.

Serp I’m sure postage will be fine. It might cost me more but hey ho.

I really like this light so I hope one of you will too.

Great review my friend.
I’m in if your budget can reach to Greece

Congrats for your 500

Sorry no sob story but a rather poor joke:

“I should have been sad when my flashlight batteries died, but I was delighted” :confounded: :person_facepalming:

Any more people want in on the giveaway? It’s quite a short list so you’re all in for a good chance!

Maybe the guy in post #11 ? :wink: Or me!

I like it. Thank you.
