Depends who you ask, but I’d say 3 is not even getting close to diagnosable disorder. There are much more expensive and detrimental addictions, so carry on.

If you’re like a lot of us, it takes some time, money, and fun figuring out what you really like, want, and need. Enjoy the ride.

thanks @manithree

enjoying the ride so far and ive not got them yet, looking in the post box everyday :slight_smile:

C8s are a nice inexpensive smallish all around performer. Lately I have been walking after dark with a Sofirn C8F. Just a pleasant beam in my favorite neutral color. When the USB charging model with ramping comes out I will be adding another.

xhp50.2 will not be a pocket thrower.Beam will be to wide. xpl hi, sst20, flat white etc are leds you want to use for real throw.

@polarweis

I bought the sst40 and then a new driver and led
I’ll have a sst40 version and a xhp50 version

Is the sst40 a nice thrower ?

Thanks for the info

I have the same problem with the S2+… Had to have all colors with different emitters each… :person_facepalming:

LOL - I just Joined this group in December and I already have 3 Convoys, and 1 Sofrin. To be arriving are 3 more Convoys, 1 Sofrin, and 1 Astrolux coming. LOL is that too much? :smiley: Got a bunch of 1206, 0805, 2010 SMD’s, LED’s, MCPCB, batteries etc……

So far modded the Convoy L6 with stacked sense resistor and lighted side switch - keeper.

I have 2 Convoy C8+ with SST-40, but with the 2 versions of drivers from Convoy. Will likely update sense resistor in one and also plop in a FET driver in the other. So will be following your thread. The Sofrin C8F, I like as is and will leave it stock.

Also got a Texas Ace Lumen tube and other measuring devices too.

So my Answer is a definite “No” you are not Convoy C8 crazy :slight_smile:

I have two Convoy C8+’s, one with the four step, and the other ramping. Both have the SST40. Fantastic throwing beams, very impressive for the size and price.

I have a Sofirn C8F and C8G on the way from the Sofirn Light Store. I had a C8F, but my mother-in-law loved it, so I gave it to her. Happy to share the love of lights.

Big fan of the C8 design and size!

And once you settle on exactly a light you like, they’ll quit making it and introduce something new and different.

I'm like that with Emisars. 5 d4sv2's in various colors and tints, two D18's (one on hthe way from Vinh) and a D4 pocket thrower. Wild Trail D80v2, an SP70, various Sofirns and Convoys. All in a month.. Playing catch up after being away for a few years! BTW Convoy beats Sofirn in fit and finish.

12

The original C8 was one butt ugly light but the newer version with the color options and matte finish are IMHO way ,way nicer .

Can you have too many Convoys ?

I guess if you're Simon you could .

pack em up and move em out ...we're havin us a convoy !!!

13

I only have 8,10 if you include the sofirn versions

14

You’ll need an L6 then
And many others :wink:

15

Got 9 - Convoy C8 Clear and C8, 2x S2 7135x6 for the (teenage) kids, S2+ for Mrs, S2+ Copper, S2+ UV, L2 & L6

Good stuff!

Oh, I know. Looking at the L2 host but mtn is out of stock.

Love convoys. The problem I have with them is they are dirt cheap considering the quality and very easy to mod and if one of my friends or family members ask for a light with the emitter and beam type they like convoys are the first to be given away. Now I only have a UV s2 left in my collection.

18

Ironically, I think I only have 1 Convoy C8, and that’s a type-2 host.

S-series tubelights, though, I could open Convoy America and start selling ’em.

All my C8s are either other brands like Sofirn, used as-is, all the way down to crappy no-name garbage-lights that I was gutting to only use as cheap hosts.

I guess this link should be included here :smiley:

Well, I have six Convoys (two S2’s, one C8, one M1, one S2+, and one M2 in the mail; all of them Biscotti, either out of the box or modded) and I’m barely getting started. You be the judge.
