Edit: This is what started the groupbuy:
This thread is to facilitate interest in Thorfire products that are highly sought after but requests have not been addressed yet.

There was also an issue raised of TF not shipping to certain countries or regions for some reason. Let’s address that as well.

Edit: You can use this neat form, pls let me know if there are any issues with it. Thanks to Otanacious

I also added Thorfire’s survey about Moonlight, however, it is not a “required” field. Hope I didn’t encroach on kwong’s survey
If you would like more than 1 piece, I guess just fill out the form again with your BLF name (required field), open to suggestions how to improve this :slight_smile:

Edit: Got it to work so you can use the form on top of this. :slight_smile:

Thorfire TG06 (specifically) host? I’m not a big fan of the TG05 style…

I had that backwards…. My preferred model would actually be the TG05… :disappointed:

5

Caleb and Keltex, thanks for your input, I put you down.
Maybe I can automate it somehow, I don’t want to hijack the Poll function,

Maybe some kind of Form, or Survey, not sure if it’s allowed.
I see MaDM4x is using a spreadsheet.

VG10 complete light. Gimme gimme gimme.

Newer model C8s

I would like to see an improved TG06, less pwm.

I would be interested in TG06 with Nichia 4000K-5000K 90CRI

Uruguay

TG06 with less pwm, L-m-h with no memory/memory and moonlight option (.5 lumens or less). Also as host.

Thanks to caramba for creating this ThorFire interest group, We can hear more voice from you guys here now.
BTW, Could you please do me a favor to let me know what’s the necessity of moonlight mode to U? How important you think of its existence?

14

Moonlight is one of my most often used modes as we have a child that sleeps in our bedroom so I always use a sublumen mode flashlight when entering the room while he’s sleeping. Often times he’ll cry in the middle of the night or we need to change diapers or there’s a fever and we need to administer medicine (you don’t want to know where…), there’s been endless times where moonlight has been useful.

And if you don’t have a child, moonlight also helps when going to the bathroom or camping in the dark with night adjusted vision. I find that anything over 1 lumen is actually too bright if I’m just waking up. Obviously, high cri is also nice to have at night since more detaisl can be seen at lower levels of light.

15

TG06 with Nichia 4000K-5000K 90CRI and less PWM - I WOULD LOVE IT!

16

2 each of the Thorfire TG06 and VG10 for me.

17

Interested in 2-VG10 host

18

Very important. Probably my most used mode.

19

I am interested in Thorfire hosts, depending on availability and price. Might be cheaper/easier to wait for a sale and then buy the whole light though?

subscribed to thread.

Id be in for a TG06 high CRI nichia. And 4000-5000k lights in general.
