I am so torn about this FT03. It sounds great on paper, but on the other hand, I already have Convoy C8 with XPL-HI (73k cd). Is this FT03 going to be a huge improvement in real life? I mean, realistically, I can’t see much past 300 meters or so anyway. Do people mainly buy this light for show? Or does it actually offer some tangible benefits over a typical C8 light? Yeah, yeah, where is my BLF spirit, right?
I need another flashlight like I need a bullet in my head.
well it depends, this light also uses ramping mode which is nice, on paper it has almost x3 more candela so it should be alot better for throw, and lumens is like double or more what any convoy c8 has so i would say u will most like see a difference. For the price its hard to say no to this light.
I have a weird concern about this light and hope other owners could chime in. Is it normal for the tailcap to smell like paint? I actually posted this a few weeks back but deleted it because I tried to air it out disassembled(head, battery tube, and tailcap)and it disappeared(and no one has replied to it). The smell came back though after storing it assembled and found out that the tailcap was the cause. It was just in storage with no cell in it prior to noticing the smell. Is this normal? or normal for any electronics in general?
