Just received mine. looks very nice…But I am charging it first… I guess it needs a driver to get the full output… That’s also coming…
More details later
Got mine today, nice!
Sofirn C8F v2.0 is the other name for Sofirn C8F 21700 version, isn’t it?
I had it in the cart with the coupon applied………deleted it. It looks like a nice light but I just couldn’t see the niche that it would fit for me. I mean, I like lights of all shapes and sizes, but before I click the “buy” button, I like to envision a scenario in which this particular light would outshine all others—so to speak. Ya know, a time and place that this light will do what my others can’t or at least do it better. Couldn’t find one. Maybe next time.
I waffled back and forth on this one for similar reasons, but $32 for a decent looking light with a good ramping UI with direct access to moon and turbo, a free charger and battery, and good modding potential was too good to pass up.
I sure can see that. It’s a good deal. Now ya got me thinking again………
Oh, just buy 1 or 2 and be happy. :laughing:
I got like 3 of the old/original C8Fs (excluding the eval sample), another 2 of the then-new C8F, and now a new 21700 version. They’ll join my C8 Army™. You can never have too many C8s. Or so I tell myself.
I was planning to mod a few (219s, 351s… yeah, like that’ll happen), but they’re just fine right out of the tin.
Dunno what’s the real output of this bugger, but when I need oodles, I’ll unholster my Q8. If 1200lm is enough, my SP32v2 will do. In-between, more portable than the Q8 but more oomf than the ’32.2, this’ll do quite nicely, and is way more pocketable than a Q8.
You’ll be glad you did.
Does this have their own firmware or are they using BLF firmware? Is the mcpcb DTP?
I’m waiting for a C8+ to come out. with 26650 Battery and single side sw.
They more comfortable in hand than the skinny 18650/21700’s.
Can’t see the point in just going from 18650 to 21700,
the 26650 instantly gives a much more comfortable grip B4 anything else.
We NEED to update the C8, it’s got a little Ho-Hum.
I picked one of these up. No idea what version it is… Got it on Amazon… Asked for the ‘new’ driver…I am not sure of this ones output, but sofirn is asking me all these questions about how do I know it’s not right…. So I guess you don’t automatically get an updated driver….

.02. Maybe I’ll just send it back and save for ZL700
only 2600 Lumens though which is lower than the 18650 version
Fits perfectly fine just not the protected version
The rule of thumb from an electrician: From 1A on you see influence of thin test leads. From 3A on use a clamp meter.

What about the new C8F?
I can’t wait for a no-switch tailcap, though. With it, it’s more “tactical” (set the mode, instant on/off when you want it), but a more direct route vs through a switch would decrease total resistance quite a bit, I’d imagine.
You could check if there is much difference by shorting the tail with a bit of wire soldered on the top of the spring, the other end clamped under the retaining ring.

Yes that’d be good. But I reckon we need to update the head, Make it more modern
up to date as the C8+ is.
Personally I’d rather be modding the C8+ with the triple and practice drivers to suit.
That model blends with the L models quite nicely style wise.
Most of us have multiple C8’s now 4 or 5 for me plus the starter, 1 x C8+ and another on way with updated single 70.2 Cree.
I’d love a triple XPL-Hi with 26650 cell and no tail sw in the C8+ in true sand.
Convoy L6. L2. C8+. Sofurn C8T. and my S41. Plus a coupla three EDC small ones.
You must admit. they and Sofurn make very good quality. reliable, cheap torches.
Not many can touch them so far in the cheap range.
All the others in cupoard are the “getting there” practice torches hey.
