Hmm looks nice. I like the tail clicky, anti-roll head, belt clip. The UI is ok, but i think i would prefer LMH. It’s a little more than I want to pay for a AA light, I think I’ll wait to see if the price comes down.
but does it tailstand?
wonderr how this compares to the tg05
I spoke to them about the UI. At first I didn’t like the UI but after using it I started to like it for around the house use and EDC carry its more of a moonlight mode. Forgot to mention has a OP reflector.
Yes it tail stands. I actually have it tail standing right now
Also the clicky glows. I didn’t think the price was so bad compared to the prices I’m used to paying for some AA flashlights.
Compared to the TG05 it can take a 14500 - 1.2…4.2 V
Also newly available at Banggood, better price with discount code BLF?!
that is my thought too, i will have to compare them
when the tg06 comes in this weekend.
I haven’t tried the TG05 it looks good I’m just not a fan of all those modes. I prefer a more simple UI. 5 modes is just annoying thats just my personal preference though. The TG06 also takes the 14500
A good multi mode AA clicky with no strobe? Just what I like. Add an angled head and I’d buy a handful.
That’s right.
It is a nice fashion light, it reminds me another (old) AA flashlight, maybe a Fenix. Pretty cool with a XP-G2.
For ASLopez: how it throw ? It’s possible know the runtime with a Nihm? Thank you very much.
Just got my tg06 and this is a really nice light. Modes are nice, goes from low to high and then to med.
Glad you like it. Its a really good light in my opinion. pretty bright with the 14500. Haven’t stopped carrying it since I got it.
It is skinner than the tg05, I like that a lot.
It is pretty thin compared to most AA lights I own or have seen. Only things I would have changed is adding a momentary on and a smooth reflector has pretty good throw as it is though.
Well thanks to your mini review here, I picked one of these up. Seems to be a good solid AA light. Thank you for your review and I am running a 14500 in mine which makes a world of difference. It may replace my MicroStream with the 10440 battery as my primary work light due to the longer run time of the Thorfire TG06. I actually like the UI, but there is a tiny bit of PWM strobe on mine on the Moonlight setting, not a big enough deal to worry about for this price. This would be a bargain at $10, but it is a solid light for $16.
$11.99 is the best price i have atm…
look in my deals thread;)
$11.99 works for me!
SOLD
M4D M4X,
Thanks for the code and heads up, I did not see that. I do not feel bad about it at $16, but I will be picking up more at $12. Solid little lights like these are why I joined BLF. This is a great forum…. Thanks again.
Got my TG06 today from Banggood. Compared it with the TG05 that I already own (Review: Thorfire TG05 XP-G2 R5) and found these differences (to my taste):
Pros:
- cheaper
- will take 14500
- nice clip, can be reversed
- anti roll design
- a little bit smaller but not much (shorter+diameter)
- anodized threads
- no blinkies
- GITD ring behind the lens
Cons:
- even colder, bluish tint (compared to the cold white of the TG05)
- has to be driven by a 14500 to reach the same brightness as the TG05 with AA/Eneloop
- always starts with moonlight ( a little bit annoying compared to the mode memory of the TG05)
- no holster and wrist strap (both came with the TG05)
- lubing was a little bit overdone (some grease on the outside, not that much of a deal)
Other features are almost identical (XP-G2 R5, knurling, both tailstand, high quality+finish, OP reflector and beam).
Both are “out of the box” very nice and usable lights with no need to modify, which can be a good thing.
