Glad to see these tints in a C8 drop in. I’m not sure the drop-in would be compatible with my non KD C8’s, so I may have to wait for them to release the entire light . . . or buy an XM-L2 C8 and one of these drop-ins too. Does anyone have a XP-L HI in a C8? Is it too throwy? I got one of the P60 drop-ins from KD with the HI and it seems to throw like a XM-L in a C8.
Anyone know whether these C8 drop-ins work with any other brands besides Kaidomain? I’ve got a Thorfire C8, Thorfire C8s, Convoy C8 and a generic C8 (I think it’s an Ultrafire clone).
I would think it would be most likely to work in the ultrafire. I have several of these pills, we could compare measurements. I do not have a metric pitch gauge.
Possible except for the Convoy C8. Don't have a ThorFire C8 but have several generic brands, and found these pills to fit some of them. It's a lot of hit n' miss.
I used to be known as the "C8 guy" (then the "Super Shocker" guy) here a ways back . Had a lot of variety of them, lots of mods back before our own FET drivers.
And don’t forget that these pills fit in your UF-T20
Kaidomain, after several years, even though they seemed to have been asleep for a while, are still selling some good original own stuff, a variety of leds that are not seen anywhere else, really good drop-ins, own drivers, flashlights with a good choice of emitters, many many types and sizes lenses, reflectors and other optics. Nice!
All I know is I have at least 15 C8’s of many makes and these pills didn’t fit any of them.
Only fit my one KD C12, but not the other one which was only 8 months older than the new one and was also a KD model.
I used the driver on another light and pulled the XPL HI for another light.
Still a good deal, just wish the brass pill could be put to use in other lights.
Just my experience.
Later,
Keith
There are many different C8 products in the market. As you know, C8 has a very long history. It has many different variation, generation. For the KD C8, it is a standard C8 version.
I will list the measurement for this pill. You can know more that it is supporting to your own C8 or not.
Overall Pill Dimension: 26mm(Dia.) x 13.5mm(Height)
Thanks for the heads up on fitting the UF-T20.
Just got done doing the swap, retaining ring on the lens was a bear to get loose but after that it was easy.
I left the shorter spring on the KD drop in intact, now the light will accept longer batteries without a fuss and still runs shorter unprotected cells as well.
Now it is bright, great tint and no rings, Got me a new Pocket Rocket:)
What do estimate the throw/lux to be after this swap?
My UF-T20 with dedomed XP-G2 R4 (yes, that was a long time ago), did 108kcd (at 2.95A). The newest bin is S4, which is 26% brighter, so that would throw 136 kcd. The XP-L Hi has a die size 2.2 times bigger, with the same current and output the throw could be 62kcd. But bigger dies project relatively well in aspherics (the poor lens quality is more forgiving towards them), and the bigger die XP-L has a bit better output at 3amps and thermal management, so a rough guess could be 80kcd.
Looks interesting. Will be great to see some flashlights based on these LEDs. A 3 x LED model with Multiple batteries may be the answer here as the forward voltage is high.
Also, we had introduced a new brand KDLIGHT. We would continue to offer the product with good quality and high Price–performance ratio.
