Convoy C8+ New look for an old favorite

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?

I build them myself with Oshpark PCB-s designed by Pilotdog68.
You can find more info about them here.
I needed to use bleeder resistor on driver. But I bought this flashlight as an empty host so the internals are not stock. you can not buy a C8+ with this driver and led in stock form.

Nice! Thanks for posting the photo with an SS bezel.

Is that the desert tan S2+ with 18350? If so is the color an exact match with the C8+? (it appears to be)

Love the colour, the C8+ needs GITD somewhere though!

if anyone got the c8+ and chose the 3000k tint pls post some beam shots :smiley:
