Dear folks,
found this one too late (sold out now and apparently for good):
I do preffer factory made product instead of a convertion and have spent some time searching for an alternative product on the market but this one looks pretty rare and unique. Would anyone know about alternative solution in the same configuration? (1x18650 / XHP50.2 / 32.5mm head)
Any suggestions / recommendations are highly appreciated.
Cheers!
The only other 18650 XHP50.2 light is KD C8. With the 32.5mm you are out of luck
Like Box said, KD now have their own C8 with the XHP50.2, but that’s a larger head.

Where did you read that KF8 will not be restocked? Still listed on their site.
I emailed them, they said it wont be restocked for long time
Btw:their c8.2 looks very promising. Balance between throw and lumen
Stated by LanB in another thread in this post
OK so XHP50.2 is not a MUST actually, is there any other flashlight meeting these criteria?
32.5mm head
1x18650
2000-2500 lumens (stable, not in TURBO for few secs)
30-40$
Dont think this light had over 2k lumen when tested… think it was abit less.
Here is BanL’s statement:
“Thank you for your interesting with KF8 flashlight.
It will not in stock in a short period.
Thank you
Ban”
It is not clear, but that could mean it will be out of stock for only a short period.
I don’t know of stock lights with those criteria, but a triple or quad XPG2 in a light like the Convoy M2 would fit the criteria. It might be closer to $50. What sort of beam are you after? Do you want to maximize the throw with that head size and output, or do you want a wider beam?
As for beam - I do not expect this to be a thrower with that head so similar to KF8 (i.e. ~2k lumens, large hotspot, bright spill - a semi-flooder). A single emitor would be a nice bonus, at the same time I do realize there are not much options to choose from :innocent:
No light that small gonna handle the heat of a XHP50 at 2000 plus lumens without a step down.
