My review of the Thorfire C8s (provided by Thorfire for review)
Most of the review will be pictures, because you know, pictures speak louder than words!
I’ll start by saying the Thorfire C8s is very similar to the Convoy C8. The main differences being the driver and the forward click switch.
Nice box compared to the usual white crushed one that usually comes with these type of lights:

Out the box, comes with a lanyard and 1 spare o-ring, and a user manual (english)

Nicely lubed threads, square cut and anodised just like the Convoy:

Tailcap readings (cheap DMM)
M: 0.03A
L: 0.06A
M: 0.85A
H 2.2A
The light does have last mode memory (after 2-3 seconds)
The mode order is H M L Moonlight, I would have preferred Moonlight L M H.
Conclusion:
I think this is a great light, but is on the pricey side, it is very similar to the convoy C8, it is great quality and the anodising is perfect (I like the matte black) It also fits protected 18650’s.
Also a great mod host with the big smooth reflector!
