I’ve found an XM-L2 running at 4 amps gives a really nice amount of light in a C8 and there are stacks of tint options… But if you are thinking about a bit more power you might want to take a look at the M21A & L21A
Both have the Xhp35.2 an SST40 options
The M21A is really not much bigger than a C8+ but gives you a 5000mah capacity
K ,I like FT03 body, and now I’ve got the sst40 and xhp50 version. I’m thinking that could improve throw ,or at least maintain it with a xpl hi ,where I can choose the tint , in my case 3000k ,which I really need and like. What do I need to switch the led? New driver, 16mm or 20mm, new center ring? Thanks
just wondering, how comparable is the battery life between the sst40 vs the xpl hi? I ordered the C8+ SST40 5000K and have some samsung 35E 3500mAh batteries for it. Is the battery life reasonable?
is it perceived as a big gap though? I thought lumens weren’t really a linear type of relationship in terms of magnitude of lumens and perception of brightness.
Uh Oh guys, you got talking about this 4 mode C8+ for the convoy and now I want one. This is the last one I need. I have a C8+ xpl-hi, and I have a 4 mode S2+ that i use as a walk in the park light. I got a FT03 50.2 for the serious throw need, and a Emisar D4V2 on the way for carry. I hear great things about the Sofirn C8’s too……HELP…. I really like the C8 form factor/size.
