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.

I’m looking for mini soda can size light in the 3500 lm range, good throw and preferably good heat sinking for sustained output.
Contenders: Nightwatch Avaritia NA40; Pros: USB C charging, dual FET design. Cons: Battery type critical (may fry SST 40), unknown UI
JKK03 (Kaidomain); Pros: good size, not timed turbo stepdown, 10 Ah power bank. Cons: Hi > Med > Lo, long press off.
I’ll be flipping mine in the used section…
Looking for something compact in this format…
Sofirn C8F
really? I have a sofirn 21700 4000mAh battery and it is too long for my lii-500
The Sofirn 4000mAh 21700 is a wee bit too long to fit in the Lii-500, however an iJoy 3750mAh 21700 will fit just exactly on the Lii-500.
I just used my Folomov A1 (magnetic thingies) to charge my 21700 when I was at work and my new C8F arrived. :laughing:

Me too, I want 26650 C8A/C8F !
I just ordered on on Amazon using my discount. If one comes out with a 22650 I’d get that too. Lol

Once it’s too thick to comfortably fit in a pants pocket, it may as well be as thick as the old D cell flashlights. I don’t see the point in anything between 18xxx and 26xxx either.
I have the JKK03; It has mode memory and can be switched off from any level with long pressure.
Other: the crown is compatible with that of the C8, at least with that in SS; I put the one in the SS, it screws well and remains only a “step” of about seven tenths of a millimeter between steel and aluminum. Then I put her back because I like it original
