New Convoy C8 – Clearly better

Black Convoy XPL-HI $21
Clear Ano Convoy XPL-HI $24

$1 for the AR glass.
$1 for the Cu DTP board.
$.50 for the new Ano.
$.50 for the new Driver.

Not too shabby. :slight_smile:

Anyway, if the price is a little high just wait a couple months. The other vendors will have it on sale for around $19 based on sale prices of the old black version.

Peacekeeping Edit: I removed my comment about Hunter’s post as it did not add anything positive.
It was written early in the morning after a particularly poor night’s sleep and before I’d had my coffee… :person_facepalming:
Getting my very first “Rude” mark was clear sign that I should have been a bit nicer. I think my comment may have been viewed at least by Hunter as “Go post in another thread” which was not the message I intended.

I didn’t care for that particular post but I think there was a bit of of a misunderstanding. His follow-up response made me realize that I had not mentioned the standard 15% BLF discount in the OP as I usually do. I assume everyone would know this but of course we have new members joining all the time so that’s my bad. I should have known better than to post before I’ve had my coffee. :blush:

In summary, Hunter you are certainly welcome here and I did not mean to imply otherwise.

For the record, I was not offended by any of this.
Sure I may have rolled my eyes but I did not take this as an insult. I’ve been a bargain hunter my whole life. It’s my bargain hunting nature that led me to BLF in the first place. I try to talk people down on prices all the time when I’m making a purchase. I grew up going to flea markets and garage sales all the time and price negotiations are what it’s all about.

In this case I know all that’s involved and Simon is not getting rich doing this. That’s the only reason I’m not asking him for a special deal on this light. Don’t forget Simon always honors the 15% BLF discount for those who ask for it. :slight_smile:

I appreciate your work Jared. Thanks also to TK and Simon of course!!!
Tried firmware on a regular 8x7135 and i love it .

i will order the next few days :slight_smile:

OK, I will go now, I see I may be * because of one innocent question, O wait, there already is 15% discount available, if this were mentioned earlier I would not ask for discount and couse so much discomfort to all… I will just go and stand in the corner now…

I would just LOVE to see you guys talk down the price of a Filet Mignon at Cheeves Bros. Steakhouse. Name of the game and all that… talk down the bill at the Lawyer’s office while you’re at it (remember, while you’re negotiating it’s at $90 an hour!)

I’m glad to hear it. ToyKeeper definitely did a great job on this firmware. It should work well on several Nanjg type drivers. Oh and I also like biscotti better than biscuit but whatever TK decides to call it I call myself thankfull. :slight_smile: :+1:

Another vote for biscuit! And that is one damn fine light. It’s honestly perfect imo. I can’t wait to get my hands on it and some of its drivers! :heart_eyes:

Give it a little flair: _ Bisque_

Thanks for the work gents!

Even if I don’t take advantage of it in the ready made form it’s interesting to see what goes into the making of a light before the actual light is made. To me, what you gents do is akin to voodoo.

(I’m holding out for the upgraded driver and such so that I can upgrade my existing C8s should I decide to go that route. )

Bistro?

“Cafe”

Could it be so simple as to leave the capitol out of Bistro?

bistro

Implying the smaller or more diminutive form of the advanced version.

Or bistro2

If bistro should be included then “mini-bistro” is good …

I like biscuit / biscotti myself, amazing work on the new firmware.

Exactly J-Dub74………
Hunter, to try and say it nicely; IMO….this was not your most stellar post. Not by a long shot………. :person_facepalming: … :frowning:

+1 …. As far as I am concerned it was an insulting post.

I think possibly sometimes we get hung up to much on the word “budget”. There is much more to the meaning of the word “budget” than ‘cheap’. One word that comes to mind is ’value’. There are many more………… :wink:

Edit: I just saw this after I posted the above….

:person_facepalming:
Your “one innocent question” was not the problem my friend, it was all the balderdash you included with it.
I really doubt you caused much “discomfort” to anyone except yourself, and that would be because you sent yourself to stand in the corner… :wink:

Just ordered one from Simon today! :star:

He did put himself in the corner with his follow up post, so let’s all drop the negativity and get back to happy fun flashlight business. :+1:

wonder how a white one would look…matte maybe…

Hunter? Is there still a stash of old lights in that corner? Maybe the cells are still charged… Play time! :smiley:

Is there some precise info when will be available pressure switches for C8 ?
