Got some C8F Hosts in the mail today.
Look good so far. Nothing missing. Happy to see the SW board with wires attached. Kinda worried if they came with the SW board.
Awesome.
So the Convoy SS bezel will work too. :+1:
Would be sweet to have the Convoy C8 (with the classic battery tube and tail cap design, which i strongly prefer) with a side switch triple head plus SS bezel.
You would have to buy 2 hosts though… The Convoy C8 and the Sofirn C8F, and have a host without switch left over… :person_facepalming:
You could build a twisty …
My frend told me that too that horaay now I got a twisty C8 
He knows I hate twistys! :person_facepalming:
I suppose you could drill a hole for a switch in the C8F tail cap.
This is how it looks:
The tailcap bottom is 6mm thick so if you drill carefully you can fit a switch in there just need to keep a little ledge to fit the rubber button.
I think I will grind down the lanyard attachment thing and cut 3-4 mm ogg the bottom to make the whole light shorter about 9mm this way. Tha tailcap will be completely flat like an Emisar. maybe I will remove anodizing from tailcap and polish it and add stainless bezel in front
I made some more photos of the host. Uploaded it in a photo gallery. I will put it in the OP too.
My host doesn’t came with sofirn or C8F engraving. I don’t know if the others came with engraving or not.
The gallery has more. these are some teasing pics.
Reflector looks really nice and clean. Convoy/Simon should definitely make its own version of C8 triple.
I’m happy with the sofirn quality so far. I don’t need to Convoy make the same thing.
I got both of the Sofirn C8F’s and with the Led4Power LD-2 at 12amps, I am able to use both the push button and e-switch to (cycle) change modes, just added a lighted tail cap.
Maybe Simon could make it like this, It is really nice to be able to use both buttons, really more user friendly when you have both switches operable!
I am expecting several of these hosts after liking my version 2 C8F from Sofirn. Have some XP-L2 5000k emitters and am looking, hopefully, for ramping drivers for this and, of course, a lighted switch would be very nice. :innocent:
Any ideas or sources please? I am sure others would appreciate this as well. Have not seen driver options discussed here, though I may have missed it…
Thanks!
I have no idea what i’m looking at here:
I tried to show the rubber side button cover transparency. I putted on a flashlight lens and turned on. 
Thanks. We appreciate the pictures, guys. My order is yet to arrive, so those close up shots are helpful. At least, they help us plan ahead and let us figure out the components we want.
Aha, now i understand what i’m looking at. 
And I’m ordered 2 of those cheap SS bezels. Thanks for the link!
Found these too:

(especially in a Convoy C8 tailcap)
A C8 is too heavy for this magnet to hold. Sofirn head even heavier because more mass in the shelf and reflector. I will measure weights later.
I like the stainless switch but I don’t have the equipment to make a nice hole in tailcap and good thread. If someone make it. It will be unique.
Use some translucent rings and super glue.
(should take a better picture…)
PS: Magnet is strong enough for this C8 with SS bezel.
Maybe not for the Sofirn triple.
