US only, BACK ON UNTIL 31 May!!! $16 threaded pill model Thorfire C8s 3A driver Amazon ONE time use coupon.

UPDATE Spoke with the rep and got the coupon back up for this great light from Amazon for US customers. PM me if you want it and it is one time use, but no limit for how many.

Turns out coupon is a ONE time use, buy as many as you want in one order… Or have someone else with another amazon account use the code…

My apologies for this.

UPDATE
Received my “old” C8s today from Amazon order…. This has the EXACT same driver as the newer model. The head HAS a threaded pill, so this is the one for the modders to rejoice about…

Great Amazon packaging, this was in another box at the door… nothing crushed…

Typical Thorfire packaging and spares, along with “HAPPY” card…

Nice Matte Anodizing.

New Convoy clip fits this model!

Looking into the head, cannot tell if it is a pill… No divots to unscrew…

Using the screws as divots, the pill does unscrew! Very nice…

Flat headed pill… interesting if a 26mm MCPCB would fit on this…

Head parts and great threading…

Well it looks like this is a great light with much modding potential.

OK, I have been talking to the Thorfire Representative here after my “New model” C8s review.

It seems that Thorfire is willing to offer a coupon for $3.99 off of the “Old model” C8s in stock at amazon, this would bring the price for the OLD model C8s to $16 even. Still available to Amazon Prime members for the free shipping. I am trying to find out if this is the one that has the threaded pill, the pictures on Amazon show it does, but so do the pics of the “new” C8s I reviewed. Will update as soon as I find out, or will just buy one myself to confirm… Extra C8? Always room for one more…

“HERE”: http://amzn.to/1pEt5T2 is the link to the product page I am talking about.

This is the classic body (possibly with the threaded pill) and still with the same four mode + hidden strobe driver as the “new” C8s. The basic biggest difference is the tail cap it seems. The “old” C8s has the skinnier, with fully surrounded button tail cap that the Convoy and other C8 models have. The one advantage this has is that the new Convoy pocket clip fits this “old” model well…

If you like the “old” style of C8 and want this one with four modes (Moonlight, Low, Medium, High and hidden strobe) let me know and I will send you the Code for the discount on Amazon. I will send you a purchase link as well to make sure the “correct” C8s is what you are trying , but it is not affiliated with me, it is just to make sure the purchase is of the “old” model.

Fully covered by their warranty and return policy should you get a dud, so no real risk.

Post if you want the code, the code is only going to be available until April 30 2016, and there is no limit to how many you can get.

No mods needed for this light, and it makes a great giveaway light to introduce someone to LiIon lights, LVP, great throw, a real spoiler for a first light. I know it was for me, and that was with the old 3+5 mode driver…. not this good one.

The one I received in Feb. through that link in OP is a threaded pill version with Moon-Low-Med-High modes. Same driver as the new upgraded C8s. I put some info about it in my minireview of the upgraded C8s: MiniReview: ThorFire Upgraded C8s

Awesome, and I thank you for that update. Nice mini review by the way…

I ordered one anyway, extra C8s laying around are a good thing in my book…

This is US only, yes?

If anyone has been on the fence about purchasing a Thorfire C8s it seems now might be a good opportunity to try one. With close to Chinese prices and Amazon protection this looks like a good deal.

Pfffffffft, that was a close one. For one minute I was afraid I had to buy my first C8. Thorfire apparently does not want to sell their lights to people outside the US.

$16 is pretty good for a flashlight of this caliber. I really like the “older” c8 that I have from Thorfire. It’s definitely good bang for your buck.

I do believe this is available in Europe as well, I think if you look on amazon europe and pick the light, the code will work. Let me know I it does not. The purchase link was to Amazon in the US, I will request a European one too….

Ok, the Europe link will be worked on by member M4D M4X, as he is in Europe, this makes the most sense.

I expect he will post something within a few days.

In the mean time, this is still a great 4 mode light with moonlight mode and a well hidden strobe….

so… this one if we buy it with the code… HAS the pill, right?

Not getting a clear answer from the Rep here, who is not at the warehouse, I went ahead and ordered one, it is due tomorrow…

I will update as soon as I can confirm…

Well, in the meantime I got my first C8. It is the latest C8s. I got it from the blog of M4D M4X that linked to a seller on amazon-dot-de. It is a very well built light. But I would like to have the (as you call it) classic model. I am sure the new tail is an improvement, technically. But it is also something like “we at Rolls-Royce have ditched the lady on the bonnet because she was a threat to pedestrians”. IMHO a C8 should have the unique tail. And a threaded pill would be the cherry on the cake.

For me it is the other way around, if Thorfire also ditches the weird head shape in favor of the traditional design and nice knurling they now made on the tail, I would finally become a C8 fan.

I’d buy one

Bump- still a great light for a great price…

Mine will be here today and I will update on if the pill in this old version with the four modes is threaded for this that like this for modding…

ReManG,
Does the this “old” C8 for $16 have the new more efficient circuitry that provides longer runtimes mentioned in your review?
I’m assuming yes but wanted to confirm
thanks for your time.
Ed

I ordered one to find this out, it will be here later today and I will update when I can confirm…

Sounds good
THX

I’m not too concerned about what flavor it comes in. Looks like a quality host for modding. Send me a discount code when you can.

Will the Convoy battery extension tube fit this? YES! Found the answer in another thread.

I could always use another C8 (maybe two), and I have a few extra convoy clips looking for a light.
Thanks for spotting this deal!
Code greatly appreciated!

Updated OP, this is a removable pill model and is being discontinued, so get them while they are here still…
