OK folks, Here is the New Upgraded ThorFire PF01 provided to me from Thorfire for review.
This is the Latest Updated Model with an advertised 100 lumen output on High and a nice new Moonlight mode.
I will be doing this review on the new improvements over the Original PF01 and showing some Beam Shots.
This is a very nice small High Performance AAA flashlight with very good output, nice thermal management and light weight.
Anodizing is superb and it has a nice feel in the hand. The tactical forward switch is easy to operate and takes a firm push so as to not turn on accidentally.
Modes are in this order, Moonlight, Med, High and it always starts in Moonlight.
It has a very nice High, Medium is somewhat lower in visible light to conserve power but the real treat here is a very nice usable Moonlight mode.
Combined with the New Mild Orange Peel reflector Thorfire has pretty much eliminated the rings in the beam that were present in its predecessor.
Warmer Tint is now present with the upgraded CREE XP-E2 R3 LED.
The new Stronger Clip is also present and can now be reversed as they have changed the milling near the head to accommodate the clip so you can use it on a baseball cap, etc.
Now some pictures and thoughts on them.

Improved Clip thickness seen here, New Model on Bottom, Also note the cutout near head for clip reversal.

In closing, This light has lived in my front shirt pocket for the last 2 weeks and has been used, dropped, torn apart, abused and it is no worse for the wear.
Tough little piece that has just the right size to it, big enough that is not flopping around against cell phone, pens, etc. without being too heavy or awkward. I have had the earlier version that I bought when they first were featured by Thorfire and liked it but did not care for the Strobe and rings in the beam.
Well, They listened to our concerns and made the right improvements.
- Nice to see a manufacturer be able to make small batches and then improve on the product and they stand behind their product with this great Warranty; ThorFire provides customers with 40 days money back guarantee and 2 years warranty service!

Hope you enjoy the review.
Thanks!
