I only suggested a zoomie you would at least get a decent one and don’t end up with nasty ultrahouseonfire lights. Convoy refelctor lights are great to: Convoy L4, C8, M2, M1, S3, S2+ are all great. So great that I have all of them. Choosing the led tint really sweetens the deal, no unknowns and you avoid blueish crappy light you get out of most cheapos.
The C8 is an awesome light, highly recommended. Another to consider, the ZY-T08 - $24.99 at Mtn but out of stock at the moment. $26.73 - 5% @ FT puts it close to your budget:
...That is if you want a thrower. 2x cells in parallel, so safe operation, with twice the runtime. You didn't specify if by bright, you wanted long range or wide flood.
I’m torn between flood and throw honestly. I favor a little more towards throw with still a decent flood. It looks like the C8 is able to satisfy that from what I can see.
Thanks for all the feedback! You all have been very helpful. Still a little confused with all the possibilities but you have all helped me narrow down my search.
So I am looking at the one in the link below. the one that is XML2 T6-4C that does not have SMO next to it. I would figure that would be the OP but it does not state that. Thoughts?
I would assume so. You can always contact BG and ask.
Just so you’re aware, the BG version is only 5-modes. The Fasttech version allows you to switch from 5-modes to 3-modes if you prefer no blinkies. (Fasttech is also $0.50 cheaper)
Do you think the difference in the LED available between the 2 will make much of a difference? Does the XML T6-3C differ much from the XML2 T6-4C as far as light output? Thanks for helping me on this!
