Convoy C8+ Review

Nice review, thanks!

Not seeing much practical reason to get this model over modding my C8 to Biscotti, but still really cool. Good review, only disagree that I’d put mine on mode group 10 with memory :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice review!

Why is it called C8+ while it’s a totally different design than the C8?

S2 vs S2+?

C8 plus cooling fins?

Hmm… So the Revtronic F30B is a C8 too?
I think the 3 lateral ridges on the head and the tail cap make a flashlight a C8.

Does it LEGO with the C8?

All I want is L6 in this color.

Nice review :+1:

I don’t have C8 at this moment but I will let you know once I find it out.

:+1:

If so, maybe i can get a black battery tube from Simon, for my Sofirn C8 triple head with Convoy tailcap and tube.
We’ll see. :slight_smile:

It does with my Convoy C8.

Nice review! Just ordered one from Simon but I am getting an OP reflector with mine and I can’t change my order…. Oops :-\

Do the older or regular C8 reflectors work with the C8+? I’ve never owned a Convoy C8, this is my first.

I have Thorfire C8S that I THINK I might have an extra SMO reflector laying around.

Anyone know if older Convoy or Thorfire reflectors work with this C8+ light?

They should work no problem.

Thanks! What would the OP do with the HI LED in there? Just smooth out the beam pretty much with bigger hot spot area?

It’ll only give a bit more corona and smooth out the beam section transitions. Beam intensity loss should be minimal. I have a C8 with OP reflector, and in lower modes it’s a treat to use at closer ranges.

Thanks guys Jack. I have a Thorfire C8s with OP but it has a dome on the LED (not sure what LED, but I know it’s not the HI).

Nice neutral tint. I really like it. It is modded by fellow BLFer but gets kinda hot on turbo…. to be expected. Stock on high got very hot everywhere.

I figured I’d give it a shot since it looks like it might have better cooling than the Thorfire C8s… dunno.

Also the Biscotti seems pretty awesome.

:beer:

Oh and do the Convoy lights have that delay when switching modes like the Thorfire C8s? Not a huge deal, just annoying sometimes.

By coincidence, I just received a sphere-calibrated C8+ from BLF member maukka. This C8+ will help me check the accuracy of my Texas Ace Calibrated Lumens Tube. This was with the 4000K CRI90 Nichia 219C. 7135x6

Here's the reports maukka sent me - as an added reference point - which gives an idea of actual output.

On mine (Convoy S2 & C8+) there’s no delay on the switching.
