High output c8/c8+ sized light recommendations

Hello all. Any help is greatly appreciated. I’m looking for a c8 sized light with good throw/flood combo for my father in law. Perhaps something with an xhp50.2 led. I was looking at the Sofirn c8f but I think it’s a bit too floody. Xhp70.2 may also work.

There’s a BLF D80V2 available in xhp50.2. There’s also Nightwatch Ni40 in xhp50.2 dedomed. Saw them at nealsgadgets.

Dedomed is a bit too greenish for me. The D80v2 is a possibility.

what about a convoy c8+ with a xhp50.2 in

winner winner chicken dinner!

Do you have a model #? I looked on Ali but didn’t find a Convoy that was c8 sized with an xhp50.2 in it. All the xhp50.2 I found were in larger lights.

convoy c8+ dont come as stock with a xhp50
matt smith sells the xhp50 leds , and the starboard . reflowing is not my thing so i would try find a xhp50 allready on a starboard

but its not super hard to change the emitter LED once on the starboad

but i found this

you could ask simon if he would put on a xhp50.2 for you

contact seller
i think he would do it

Not a bad idea. I will message him tomorrow.

XHP50.2 on C8-size head makes it much less throwy. I'm not sure if it will be more throwy than a Sofirn C8F..

check sample beamshots..
