Convoy C8+ New look for an old favorite

I thought when he said it was a sliced SST-40, he meant de-domed. Maybe not?

Nope, sliced, pretty close. Grabbed it from MTN. Finish on the remaining silicone is as smooth as glass.

He’s OOS at the moment though. Luminus SST-40 N5 6500K LED on Copper DTP MCPCB

After-work edit:
I was off on my number a little bit. Still working on my sphere multiplier, but I got 1844 lumens (+ or -) and 131,551 candela for 725 meters of throw, measured at 20’ with an HS1010a

Richard puts LEDSeal on it after he slices it, which is why it’s “smooth as glass” :wink:

I got my host today.
I’m going to put a shaved SST40 led in it with a fet driver and make a yellow lighted tailcap.

I don’t much like the styling of this; it’s basically just ‘fins everywhere’

It is too ringy but it is good for heat sinking. I hope the led shelf going to be thicker in later batches. This one is the same as old C8

Sorry if this was said before, i may have missed it, but does the C8 SS bezel fit on the C8+?
It would look great on the tan body imo - and i have a spare one in need of a host.

Yes. And also the tube threads are the same.

MaLL NINJA :slight_smile:

I caved in and bought one as groupbuy preorder c8+ with warmest tint U4-7A 3000-3300k must be nice looking :smiley:

Can this Astrolux SC / SS / S2/S3 BLF X5/X6 Taschenlampe 2 LED Beleuchtung Schalter für DIY Sale - Banggood Deutschland-arrival notice-arrival notice fit in C8 I want to use BLF X6 driver in this C8 host.

Yes, I bought 2 Convoy C8’s: one with a 3A tint, and one with a 7A tint. The 7A tint is by far my favourite. If you like warm tints, you’ll love it. I use it mostly indoors for a nice incandescent look. Probably a little too warm for outdoors, but still works well outside.

My c8+ is marked shipped now from banggood :smiley:

Mine, too (U4-7A) even though it was OOS yesterday when I ordered it. Sometimes miracles happen. :slight_smile:

My C8+ host finished.
shaved and polished SST40 led, TA OTSM driver, yellow lighted tailcap switch.
It draws 9.3A
Output: 2037 lumens
Intensity: 125525 cd
Throw:702m
I got nice hot spot without tint shift and smooth beam.




The grey gate is about 40m and the trees behind about 100m distance from me.

Nice ! :+1:

I found a SS Bezel in my Toybox.
It looks very nice on the C8+

Nice work Zozz! Looks really good, that beam profile is what I like to see. Guess I know what I’ll be doing if/when I get one of these… :smiley:

@ZozzV6

Runs the lighted tailcap switch with the stock driver to?

Where i can get a red or yellow TS?
On Ali i only found the blue one.

Very nice indeed Zozz, everything done well and very complete too with the yellow tailcap.
