My favourite flashlight is the dqg aaa because it always comes with me
I love my s2+. Perfect for walking and taking a dog out.
I would love a big headed thrower someday.
I would love Thorfire to make a decent headlamp that’s cheap.
Hopefully I’ll have the 20 posts before the drawing.
My favorite flashlight I own is my C8 with the mtg2 pushing out the most light I’ve ever seen from something so small!
I’m absolutely drooling over the Nitecore TM16. It just looks like aa wall of lumens coming out the front of that thing!
I really wish manufacturers like Thorfire would include more tint options. Sometimes I want a cool white, sometimes a neutral.
One of my favorite lights is the B2s N-light . Why? Cuz it's pretty ,shiny,well designed .... and obsolete ...IMHO the perfect light doesn't have to be small or made of some exotic metal .Stainless steel is nice as long as it isn't too heavy .
my question about the light is .. if you threw it out of a plane at 30 thousand feet ...and at the same time fired Archimedes out of a cannon from the same plane ...
Which one would hit the ground first ?
My suggestion to Thorfire is get rid of the unstable open tail design
My favorite light?
A Yezl Y3, and I like it because it run with 8 C battery, so it is much longer than my amazing Maglite 4D moddet with a XR-E and run with 8 AA Nihm (with adaptors) :bigsmile:
My suggestion to Thorfire is to make some more affordable price. Sometimes they are too expensive (for my empty wallet).
1. The favorite light that I own is my BTU Shocker “Nightbird95”. It is my favorite especially after I have modified it because it throws like hell while at the same time covers a larger and wider area with its beam. My avatar shows how it performs at 700 meters. No its not my farthest throwing flashlight but my farthest throwing light can’t cover much area at long distances (say over 1 km). 
2. The light I am drooling over the most is the Nitecore TM36 Lite because unlike most other ultra throwers (1 km and up range) its beam/ hot spot is much wider. I also like it more than the regular TM36 because its smaller, lighter and easier to carry around. However I don’t see myself buying this in the near future so I’ll just keep on drooling.
3. A feature or spec that I wish manufacturers like Thorfire would include on their future products would be throw (lots of it) and flood (also lots of it) at the same time.
Okay, so I’m in too!
1.Your favorite light that you own and why it is your favorite (and a picture of it if possible)
Always changing: at the moment, it’s my Convoy S3 XP-G2 triple. 3x CW (I like cool tints!) XP-G2 emitters in the S3 host, using the 3A Qlite driver from Mtn with moonlight low enabled. Very nice to have a light that’s so low, but still impressively bright on high. This is my first light built with the Qlite driver, and I’ve found that I really do like having the low-low, and the lack of visible PWM/noise; the extra few mA of the higher-rated 7135s doesn’t hurt either! Sorry, no pics at this time; use your imagination. Another possible contender would be my old TrustFire F20 which has been my EDC for three years now. It’s been completely rebuilt including some recent work done a couple of weeks ago, now only the host is original. Started out as the base XR-E model, first mod was a reflector replacement and update to a XM-L U2 emitter purchased from the Jolly Green Dino several years ago. This reflector has an unusual very subdued texture that keep the throw of an SMO while still smoothing out the rings. Much later, replaced the reflector centering ring with the butterfly type. Kept in that configuration until the second go-around resulting in retaining the aftermarket reflector while replacing the emitter with an XM-L2, replacing the switch with one salvaged from another host, and replacing the original low-voltage-capable driver with a 101-AK to finally eliminate the blinkies and add regulation.
2.The light you are drooling over the most and why you want to buy it so bad (and a picture of it if possible)
Always changing: At the moment, it’s the UltraFire 1504. I don’t really have a need, but really like ultra-long-range aspheric-type throwers. Either that or any large-diameter reflector based thrower. I have an older STL-V2 style clone, but would like something like the Courui-type with the larger reflector.
3.A feature or spec that you wish manufacturers like Thorfire would include or not include on their future products
I don’t have any of the Thorfire lights to really comment, but one thing I see… The Thorfire lights with pocket clips seem to consistently have a section of larger-diameter grooves or fins directly below the clip. (This light is a good example.) This looks like it would interfere with comfortable pocket carry and easy draw. One of the reasons I prefer my F20 as an EDC is the smooth cylindrical body; it rides comfortably with nothing to snag on or wear through my pocket.
I would like to see ThorFire and all light makers hide their “burst” mode, the Fenix HL30 does that so that you don’t have to cycle through it all the time, if you want the Turbo mode, you have to hold the switch down for a split second more to get it.
In my short tests I didn’t notice PWM, so I checked with a camera just now. It indeed does use PWM.
Thanks for the rootbeer!
2. The light you are drooling over the most and why you want to buy it so bad (and a picture of it if possible)
- My dream light is the upcoming Okluma TinyDC in Ti. Not a budget light (retail is $450). It basically is a revamped Mac Tri EDC from a new, responsive builder. Classy, classic, and fits 17mm circuits so I can put in my favorite Dr. Jones’ driver.
1) Too hard of a question to answer because it changes way too often after doing a new mod or buying a new light.
2) I’m drooling over the Lumintop BLF-SD75. I want to buy it because I want a BLF edition flashlight with MOAR lumens.
3) A large and meaty headed multi-cell flashlight that has at least a 95mm reflector so it can a super thrower with a SMO reflector. Or it can be a XHP lumen monster when a OP or multi faceted reflector. It can be in a traditional or multi 2S flashlight package or in a lantern package with a carrying handle. I like the idea of a lantern package better because you could fit more batteries inside of it and get more run time and the folks with small hands can hold it with ease.
Also it should have beautiful square cut threads and anodized finish like the Convoy and ThorFire C8’s has.
1. Olight S20. Compact, good UI, magnetic tail. Fits for almost every my need.
My favorite is the Eagle Eye X6 for outdoor use.
For Indore, I prefer my Nitecore EZ AA R5.
They are also the only two decent torches I own.
My other converted Home Depot lights and old < 50 lumen ancient LED lights now live on my shelf.
Thank you for the generous giveaway. I'll go with my favorite light. At the moment it's my Convoy S2. I do a lot of late night running and this light goes with me everywhere. It will run over 4A, but I keep a higher capacity cell in it, so it does right around 3A. It gets warm, but still manageable.
It has an AR lens and a smooth reflector. I recently put in an XPL HI and it is perfect for this light. The flood is great and the throw is more than I would expect out of something so small.
Anyone who doesn't currently have one of Convoy's S-series lights should really consider adding one to their collection. Let me zoom out a bit for a better view of this fine light.
Thank you for that last picture showing you weren’t holding the flashlight in your butt :Sp
+1
I was dreading the last picture :bigsmile:
I don't know... Could still be butt.
