Yes thanks Zozz, just ordered a couple to play with. Wanted more but it’s that time of year when money get’s really scarce. 
Yes, thanks ZossV6 for this! Ordered two and I look forward to some great build suggestions. 
You are welcome all!
I suggested them a 26650 triple led design too. I hope they think about it.
Great work Zozz. That's a great price for such a high quality host.
If they go 26650, then they might consider going quad too? I could see a quad 26650 with reflector becoming rather popular.
You got a link for that driver please. Thank you
Is that available somewhere?
I don’t know. With XP-L2 it is enough with triple. The light with one 26650 and in tube form can not get rid too much heat. And I think wit triple Ledil cute SS optics is a good option. But they didn’t answered me about this.
Joker145 and d_t_a: you can order TA drivers built by Lexel from him.
There can never be enough 
I know this. I advice the 2100mA Convoy S2+ and I build for myself the Fet DD driven 2940 lumens Jaxman E2L with triple leds.
Wondering how long it’ll take for my 2 C8 hosts to get here what with all the Christmas rush in full overdrive? Got notification they shipped, with a tracking number, should prove interesting to see what part of next year they arrive.
I ordered an SP32A from them and it is not here so the hosts maybe arriving next year. Is my package arrived to you?
I received tracking number for mine and its already in the USPS system. Recently the LS**CN tracking mumbers have been about 3 weeks but business days are cut short to the holidays. After Xmas the USPS Man hours will be cut short (Normal) again.
Not yet Zozz, mail hasn’t run yet today so I’m still watching….
Awesome! I have been waiting for these… ordered two.
EDIT: +10 for 26650 QUAD setup.
TM16 answers the big quad question, I swapped in 4 XHP-35’s in parallel and it’s making ~7300 lumens.
Hope you guys have better luck than me! I ordered a regular C8 host from Sofirn on Aliexpress back on 11/11. I got a tracking number right away, but after a month there hadn’t been any acknowledgement that the package had even been picked up. A Sofirn rep proactively reached out to me and asked if I’d like a refund or for them to resend. I chose the resend option as I’m looking forward to this host. They shipped out the new one right away and offered a discount on a future purchase.
The delay is definitely unfortunate, but is part of doing business. Sofirn’s customer service however… great experience. I like that they reached out to me, not the other way around.
Doesn’t answer my budget requirements though.
A lot of AX stuff is that way. Sits in “pre-shipment” or “acceptance” forever, then another forever in “in transit”, before it finally hits shore and USPS gets it.
I still have a coupla goodies from 11.11 still out there somewhere in the æther…
Yup, I’m pretty used to that. But this one (LS160251975CN) never made it past the “shipment not found” status, even on EMS’s website, 17track, etc.
Who knows… maybe in a couple months I’ll have two hosts at my doorstep! International shipping lottery… ya win some, ya lose some (pun may be intended). :shrug:
