i have the convoy and kd, both are almost identical besides reflector.
i prefer the kd, it throws further and have a nicer warm tint. flood/spill equally the same.
if you dont mind paying about $5 more, id go kd, but if your on a tight budget, the convoy is super nice. one of the better lights out there for that price.
Finally! A review of Convoy C8! Thank you
My Lightmalls C8 with U3 emitter has been arrived and I am very satisfied with it. Before I ordered Lightmalls C8 I was doubting whether I should went for Convoy, but at last I prefered the smooth reflector more.
Next, I am hoping someone will order the KD XM-L2 C8 and post a review about it
You’re welcome.
I’ll probably pass on another C8, so it will not be me. I have a host that’s waiting for an XM-L2 U2 on copper.
I found another error; I calculated the throw wrong by shortening the distance by one meter when calculating it. It went from 11.2kcd to 21.2kcd. Much more typical for a C8.
Thanks for the review! Absolute steal at the price.
Nice review, pictures can hardly wait for some beam shots, the Lightmalls C-8 was my first budget light thanks to reviews like yours it fit size fit my needs perfectly and the C-8 s exceeded my expectations of out put I agree the C-8 is a must for 1st time flashaholics looks like I missed out on a better price from fasttech. Get those beamshots up
relic38: THANK YOU!!! :bigsmile:
Thanks for the review relic. I’ve never had a C8, and I may pick up the host for this Convoy.
BTW, I have 6 of these coming in some time in the next month. Two Neutrals and two cool.
Error. Does not compute… :~
LOLOLOL!!! hahahahah!! Oops! :Sp That was after working a night shift. 3 neutral white and 3 cool white.
Love my Convoy 3c T6 C8, best C8 by far I’ve got out of four of them. Definitely worth a punt.
Thanks very much for the review! Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.
I ordered the newest KDC8 waiting to compare to Lightmalls C8LU3
I ordered the latest KDC8 I cant wait to compare with my Lightmalls C8 LU3 and so my own in formal review
I ordered the newest KDC8 last week i am waiting for it to com e to due. Y own informal comparisons to my Lightmalls LU3s
Anybody know where I can buy this guide ? Or a similar one?
Fasttech has some options in their Flashlight Diy category. I use the plastic ‘butterfly’ shaped ones mostly, although I bought some of each type to have in stock.
I have not found any of this exact type yet.
Thanks Relic! I got also that butterfly on order but I like the one similar to the Convoy as it aligns the reflector to the emitter nicely. WIll keep looking.
