I misplaced my original one so I bought a new one from that "A" store. The new one came with a Thorfire battery and charger. The UI is different than my original, which I found. The new one is H, ML, L, M. Similar to my old TG06.

Did they change or do I have a very well made fake?

There does seem a lot of "fakes" of this model. Is the Thorfire logo straight or leaning to the right. Do the flames meet at the "F" and is the clip tight spring steel or a bit floppy?

The logo looked good at first but the TG06S font is twice the size of my older TG06S or TG06. I sent a pic to Thorfire.

From the photos Thorfire thinks it is their light. They suspect that a circuit from another brand of light might have slipped in the mix. Not going to return it anyway but I was just curious.

I bought a couple of these flashlights and thought they were so good, I'd get a bunch more as gifts. Bought from a different place at a ridiculously cheap price, but when they arrived they were inferior in every way to the original two. Caveat emptor.
