Convoy C8+ New look for an old favorite

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.

Speaking of that lighted tail cap, I just built an FET for an X6 that is straightforward, old style, no 7135 chip… this particular X6 already had a single LED in the tail cap and it works… how does it work if I didn’t put a bleeder resistor on the driver?
