Thorfire PF01S torch


Rating: 5/5

Review:
An excellent little torch
 



I think this is a really good little torch.  I have been using its predecessor, the PF01 for some time now and have found it excellent.  This smaller version seems just as good.

The PF01S is light and very small - about 9cm long and 1.3cm in diameter.  It is powered by just one AAA battery (not included with the torch), but it gives a very good light on full brightness.  (A rechargeable battery works fine.)  The torch is well made and very robust and will easily survive being knocked about in a pocket, bag or backpack, which is what it is designed for.  It also has a detachable pocket clip.

In use, it has a press-switch on the end, and three brightness modes:  "Moonlight" (very dim), Low and High, which you scroll through by repeatedly pressing the switch making it very simple to use and it always comes on in the mode last used. I particularly like the "moonlight" mode because I want this primarily to make nocturnal bathroom visits (sometimes more than once at my time of life...) without waking my wife by either switching on the light or blundering into things.  This is perfect: moonlight mode is fine for night-adjusted eyes but not bright enough to wake anyone else.  Scrolling quickly to Low or High makes it a simple and effective normal torch.

If you want a good-quality, very compact torch to carry with you or just to use around the house this will do you very well. Warmly recommended.
