C8 Upgrade to XML Advice please

Thanks :beer:

Nice deal.

You could always get the Ultrafire C8 XM-L U2 for $17.40

From my experience, it is a great light, but the head is a bit too big for EDC if that is what you are getting it for.

Just to give a different option, last month I received this "upgrade" version of C8 from CNQG.

I can tell you the reflector and beam are very similar to my UF C8, throwy but with a smooth transition between hotspot and corona.

It has the usual Nanjig105C so one can choose the modes config. (mine 3 levels, no strobe)

Measured 2.83A on high, it's a good match with the well known Xin-TD C8.

As for the different style, I actually like it more than "usual" C8.

The head has that tapered shape that blends better with the body, and the square knobs knurling gives a good grip.

Approved and suggested!

Interesting light! Does it tailstand? From the 2nd photo, it looks like it does.

Also, at 155mm length, would that mean it’s about the same dimensions as the XinTD? Most Ultrafire C8s are about 10mm shorter.

I guess my main reservation would be the price. With shipping to be added, it may come up to very close to the price of the XinTD
