Between this and a Sofirn C8F, which would you choose?
Id probably still get the C8.2. More efficient, more power, boost driver.
I prefer single emitter lights though if I can find what I want
different size pills
The first i received was a a couple of months ago an XHP50 with a 23mm pill, the second i got today, a XPL with 25mm pill.
the first one had a textured finish i really liked and the new seems to have changed to a smoother finish. do we know if its changed across the line or just to suit the driver?
Not a very happy camper here, my C8.2 just arrived, and it doesnt work.
Im systematically taking it apart and testing things. the tailswitch and soldering seems fine, but other than that not sure what else to check.
Put the battery into it and used a Fluke DMM and its only passing .177A and doesnt seem to change modes.
Did you click the button on the tail(ON/OFF) button?
Is your battery charged?
In all seriousness, that sucks.
I ordered on a week or so ago, I hope it doesn’t turn out like yours. I’m sure it’s something simple.
A couple of lights that I have gotten in the past from various places did the same thing, I clicked the switch a couple times fast and I would bring them right to life with no problems since, and that was for the very first start up.
Good luck.
Keep us updated.
Tried with two fully charged INR18650-30Q, one button top, one flat.
Checked continuity and voltage with the light head off - Good
Checked amp draw with tailcap draw using DMM as switch, pulled .177A and no more, tapping to change modes does nothing.
Tightened all holding rings, nothing
I just finished taking the entire light apart and cleaned the sloppy mess of thermal compound off and am reassembling now, but I dont have alot of faith.
Really, REALLY angry and dissapointed.
do someone have xhp50 and xhp35-hi version ?
can we see a beamshot comparison ?
Hi
If you get any problem with the flashlight, you can send an video to show what is the problem with the light.
All the flashlights are being well tested before we had shipped out.
It has a lower chance to get both of the flashlights are having problem in the same package.
Thank you

One flashlight, video emailed to your support, and posted : https://youtu.be/nnsT4aObHzs
Okay
Our support will take a look on that and help to solve out the problem.
Thank you
Sounds like you got a dud. Very unusual in the KD light range.
I’ve had no issues at all, apart from 3-4 yrs ago when a drop-in for their C8 flickered like a *. They sent a replacement no questions asked. That was surprising, to be honest.
Well, I hope it comes to just shipping a replacement, or at this point a full refund like I initially requested before it shipped. Since posting the video they asked for a tail amp reading and then silence.
I knew there was potential for problems, but its just been one thing after another and it sucks.
Bought 2 C8.2 XHP35 and one of them has intermittent issues.
Just threw it one corner.
Kinda disappointed with their products as it’s my first flashlight purchase from them.
Gonna stick to Convoy or Jaxman,
So, they have me checking different things and we know the driver board is dead, but how do I check if the LED is dead?
I suppose continuity?
Im requesting a new LED either way, but would like to be sure.
Edit: They said theyre sending me a new drop in.
I had followed your case. And we had decided to send the replacement LED drop-in to you.
If you want to test your LED is working fine or not, you can use your digital meter to check with it.

George, (or anyone who has this) Do you happen to have any convoy C8 to check if the bezel will lego with this? I’d like to get this and add the convoy SS bezel.
Just checked the bezel , diameter and threads are the same , but Convoy bezel can’t screw all the way down, leaving a 2mm gap .
Thanks for the review. Finally I need to get one for myself. I just hope that they have some warmer tints for snow season use.

BanL or anyone, I’d like to know the distance spec. (meters) or Kcd (or both) for C8.2 XHP35 HI

Im thinking that none of these mods are truly tested, and if they are, its from BLF or CPF members.
