Ya, if I wasn’t all custom building with the direct drive C8Fs now, I’d be hanging the XPH35 HI on my gun fer shur.

@beam0

You mean the C8S? C8F is a triple, more floody than a single XHP35HI thrower setup like the C8.2.

@Zappaman

No, I DO mean the triple C8F, with shaved XP-L2s OR XPL HI LEDs… it will throw enough for this gun and give a nice WIDE field of view.

Okay thanks for explaining… that totally clears up my confusion, and gave me ideas…

Got me thinking about putting 3x XPL-HI into my C8F V1 (tail switch only version) for a WML.
IIRC it also has a standard size mcpcb that I might be able to find with the emitters already mounted, then add a FET/DD driver.

To get the most out of the C8F, Lexel and I worked out the direct drive idea with his FET tail switch— zero losses on the pressure switch line and the LEDs (three of them) pull right about what a better 18650 can give them. NOT ideal for most applications, but perfect for a hunting rig where I’m using a few minutes of light- just for the kill shots. Use night vision to get on them, then LIGHTS ON… FIRE!

Yeah I was reading about his tail switch mod, seemed a bit over my head to build one myself from his parts. Great solution though for a long standing drawback of those remote switches.
