Sofirn C8F host. 21700 C8F Available

This is how it looks:


The tailcap bottom is 6mm thick so if you drill carefully you can fit a switch in there just need to keep a little ledge to fit the rubber button.

I think I will grind down the lanyard attachment thing and cut 3-4 mm ogg the bottom to make the whole light shorter about 9mm this way. Tha tailcap will be completely flat like an Emisar. maybe I will remove anodizing from tailcap and polish it and add stainless bezel in front

Look here for the SS bezels:

2 pcs for €3.05 !!

I made some more photos of the host. Uploaded it in a photo gallery. I will put it in the OP too.
My host doesn’t came with sofirn or C8F engraving. I don’t know if the others came with engraving or not.
The gallery has more. these are some teasing pics.




Reflector looks really nice and clean. Convoy/Simon should definitely make its own version of C8 triple.

I’m happy with the sofirn quality so far. I don’t need to Convoy make the same thing.

I got both of the Sofirn C8F’s and with the Led4Power LD-2 at 12amps, I am able to use both the push button and e-switch to (cycle) change modes, just added a lighted tail cap.

Maybe Simon could make it like this, It is really nice to be able to use both buttons, really more user friendly when you have both switches operable!

I am expecting several of these hosts after liking my version 2 C8F from Sofirn. Have some XP-L2 5000k emitters and am looking, hopefully, for ramping drivers for this and, of course, a lighted switch would be very nice. :innocent:

Any ideas or sources please? I am sure others would appreciate this as well. Have not seen driver options discussed here, though I may have missed it…

Thanks!

I have no idea what i’m looking at here:

I tried to show the rubber side button cover transparency. I putted on a flashlight lens and turned on. :wink:

Thanks. We appreciate the pictures, guys. My order is yet to arrive, so those close up shots are helpful. At least, they help us plan ahead and let us figure out the components we want.

Aha, now i understand what i’m looking at. :slight_smile:

And I’m ordered 2 of those cheap SS bezels. :slight_smile: Thanks for the link!

Found these too:

(especially in a Convoy C8 tailcap)

A C8 is too heavy for this magnet to hold. Sofirn head even heavier because more mass in the shelf and reflector. I will measure weights later.
I like the stainless switch but I don’t have the equipment to make a nice hole in tailcap and good thread. If someone make it. It will be unique.

Use some translucent rings and super glue. :wink:

(should take a better picture…)

PS: Magnet is strong enough for this C8 with SS bezel.
Maybe not for the Sofirn triple.

Nice job. Do you have some pics from assembly how everything fits?

No, but i will make another one, i will take pics and post it.

Thanks! I like the double lighted ring.

Well good news and bad news for me. Good news I have all the parts. Bad news is the Noctigon 32mm does not fit. It will not sit flush against the shelf. Bought the xp32 with LEDs already on so guess i’ll be learning to reflow LEDs on a triple :person_facepalming:

I was wondering if them Noctigons would be a good fit or not. Now we know for sure. Thanks for the heads up.
