I’m looking at the Convoy C8 on gearbest and the way it is described is a bit confusing to me. At one point it says “2 seconds electricity memory way: A gear open for more than 2 seconds, then this gear is memoried”
which I think tells me that it remembers the last set brightness level. However in the specs it says: “Mode Memory: No”,
so my question is, does this flaslight have memory for the last used brightness lever or not, not really interested if it doesn’t.
Yes those two statements seem contradictory. With a link as Sledgestone asked, we might figure out what driver / UI the light uses. (there are tons of C8 options).
Why not just buy the light here in the USA for a 1 dollar cheaper price from Richard at Mountain Electronics and have it much sooner than ordering from overseas?
Actually he has 4 different models for pretty much the same money , the clear ANO version , the version you are looking at , the T6 version and the XP-L HI version…………$17.99 to $19.99
Haven’t decided yet what to do but for the record, ordering from mountain electronics is not cheaper, by the time I add in the software upgrade (which is included in the gearbest price) shipping, that $17 flashlight is not $30+ dollars.
Hmmmm I didn’t know Gearbest had the Guppydrv firmware upgrade.
I have been wrong before though and could be mistaken this time also.
The standard driver has the 2 group mode (from Mountain) ……… with the “enable or disable” strobe feature
•8x 7135 driver (~2.8A to the LED) ◦2-group driver…
Group 1: 5% - 40% - 100%
Group 2: 5% - 40% - 100% - Strobe - SOS
and then if you choose to get the Guppydrv it is indeed $4.75 more , but as I say I don’t see that feature on Gearbest unless I am just missing it.
Which the Guppydrv includes these user configurable mode groups……….
I also checked out those links, and I am surprised that the firmware upgrade costs that much. Seems a little steep, imho. I usually buy parts from Mountain, so I am used to seeing the guppydrv options there for around $1.
I am not 100% certain, but I think GB has some “biscotti” versions, not “guppydrv”. However, biscotti seems similar to guppy.
