Don't know why the "H" in (L x W x H) turned into " ".

3

To lose tailcap turn it to the right,not left like usual !

Thanks for the review.

I really like the finish, it seems more matte than glossy by the photos.

5

I’ll have to check if one is the newer version or not, but I ordered 2 C8’s from BG a short while back this year… one has a glossy finish, the other most definitely matte.

6

oh gawd that scratch on the tailcap retainer ring

7

Which is better, this C8 or the incoming LuckySun BLF D80? Which one throw better?

8

The C8 throws better than the D80.

But I like the C8 better, it’s a bit longer and feels better (imo).

Thanks for the review.

Thank you very much :slight_smile:

Hi,
Do 69.5mm protected batteries fit inside the flashlight. Thanks.

12

“This light works with flat top, button top, unprotected, and some protected cells. The Protected NCR18650PF, NCR18650B, & NCR18650GA sold here all fit in this light. Some other protected variations of the same cells may not fit. The NCR18650GA is a very tight fit”

Thank you for answering my question. :slight_smile:

14

You are very welcome :bigsmile:

15

Regarding the switch retainer ring. I believe it is reverse thread.

16

My first purchase from Mountain Electronics. Got the standard C8, XML-2 1A U2 tint, 8 amc 7135 drivers. I like Convoy flashlights. :slight_smile:

17

I have 2 of the new version. they are great but for
sure pay attention to battery selection…
protected cells seem very long compared to
unprotected… I am giving one as a gift and went by RMM recommendations for protected batteries…

18

Yes it is reverse thread. Just checked one with Integrated Pill.

19

I could not find this information anywhere - does this light has any protection circuit?

I have only unprotected 18650, what will happen if voltage drops to let’s say 3.0V? Is there a cut-off, lower modes available only, blinking or any signal that I should stop using it? Or burning my battery down to zero?

20

Looks like a standard 105D:

Reverse polarity protection
Low input voltage warning: blinks once per second when voltage drops below 2.9V to 3V

21

That’s exactly what I wanted to know, thanks!
