With the medium amp draw from the meteor it seems like a pretty ideal light for those LEDs.
All hail BLF Q8 Janus, and of course FM. Nice. :+1:
Wonderful weird project Flashy Mike! 
That is lots of designing and building!
@maukka
Thanks for the links

@Flashy Mike
Very cool Q8s!
@djozz
Your Sofirn C8 with grinded bezel is very cool!
That’s a very cool mod, Flashy Mike :+1: 
Nicely done Mike, I was about to post up something but you made my little tinkering project look like a popsicle stick cabin job, 
Way to think outside the box, very sweet!
Thanks, everybody!
Oh man, I have to follow that wild mod?! I trimmed and shimmed a reverse click switch so my SingFire-75B would tailstand, put a piece of diffuser material between the reflector and the lens and pencil modded the NMM cap… It is my new go-to indoor light for after dark toilet trips.
My first published mod, go easy guys…
What does it mean?
And how have you manage to trim switch boot?
The “firmware” for this flashlight has Next Mode Memory. Every time you turn it OFF it remembers what mode it was in, next time you turn it on it skips to the next mode, very annoying. It can be forced to quickly forget by tracing a pencil lead over the capacitor that holds charge to the IC.
I didn’t mod the switch boot, but the switch itself. I just cut enough off to clear the barrel(?). When that wasn’t enough to clear the switch boot, I put a ring of Venician Blind cord between the boot and the lip it sits on. Hope that helps!
Nice mod as a first published one WARvault. 
I like that flashlight, I have one from when it was still Ultrafire branded.
WARvault, thanks. Nice mod
Hi and welcome WARvault. You come from a nice area. I went to a school camp there around 1975. I guess things would have changed a little since then. Nice mod.
BLF A6 driver into a Convoy C8. This simple mod took me about 15 minutes.
…and you got instant improvement in user interface and output
The C8 is a better light with the A6 driver.
I did the mod for the user interface. FET was a bonus.
That’s why I prefer Biscotti driver… 3A regulated output and customizable interface.
Simon’s drivers became my first choice some months ago for any simple light (S2+, C8, any tail-click li-ion only light…)
Maybe you know then if the biscotti drivers that Simon sells at this moment have the corrected firmware? I have been waiting for a year now for confirmation of that.
My C8 came from Gearbest with the old 3/5 mode firmware.
I saw that Simon is selling drivers with Biscotti. — shrug — I made a choice.
I’m pretty happy with the C8 with A6 driver. Don’t see any reason to change it.
