TBH I did order stainless bezel a while ago, just forgot about it, so the whole question was actually irrelevant :person_facepalming:
Thanks for the answer anyway 
I got new driver of 21700 C8F from Sofirn so I have 1 extra driver will order the host to built one with different LED but can’t decide which one to go XPL Hi for more throw or LH315D 5000K for 90 CRI ,what do you think ?
LH351D for the better color rendition and more flood.
It’ll be like a smaller Q8, so you will absolutely love it.
This is what is nice about this host. Either LED you pick will still have decent throw and flood but you can choose more of one or the other still.
More flood you say? Hmmm, what are the options for getting these leds? Can they be bought reflowed on a board or do you have to buy a host, use that mcpcb and reflow yourself?
You can reflow them yourself, but most of us, not including me of course, don’t have solder paste+temperature controlled hotplate. So it is out of the question unless you have it.
However, you can buy an MCPCB preflowed from Mtn Electronics, or even better, if you want a full light, buy this one, and select 219C version:

Leave a message saying you want 4000k 90CRI LH351Ds or 5000k 80CRI LH351Ds reflowed instead of the 219C, since they are about the same price He won’t mind at all.
You can then put in the driver of your choice in.
Dang, he only has the 18650 version host.
I guess I have to buy a 21700 host from Sofirn and reflow the leds myself. I’ve got a cheap hot air station so I can clamp the mcpcb and heat it slowly from the bottom. I’ve got solder paste, but I think you can apply some wire solder to the pads, add some extra flux and then hot air to do the reflow. I need to watch more youtube hot air reflow videos. 
There’s a first time for everything, right?
I need to do some reflo videos.
I think you can do it. You have done some mods Jason
Any codes available for this ?
Thanks,
Mike
Brite work….
Nope, $37 with battery and charger or $32 without.
Wait for 11/11 sale and install Aliexpress phone app for additional discounts. 11/11 is the Chinese Black Friday
Replaced the tail spring (large blue) and beefed up the bypass (20 gauge) on my C8F 21700 w/ LH351D 4000K 90CRI
3,177 at 0s w/ lightly used Vapcell 3750mAh 24A 21700
3,486 at 0s w/ topped off 30T Vapcell re-wrap
They use so much solder on their spring pad I was worried I would kill the switch trying to get it off since I do not have hot air gun. I clamped alligator clips on both switch legs and it seems to be fine.
Going to call this one done.
Have one more host but not sure what LEDs I wanna use with it just yet.
Love this C8F hope the new throw version with single LED and bigger head. :heart_eyes:
(sorry pict to big have to adjust)
!
!
Did you grind down the stainless bezel? What tools if so
No it is stock bezel and grind with grinding stone cost nothing but 45 Min time.
The C8F with 21700? There was a whole thread Tracy started, get it from Amazon via code, PM her to ask for it.
Just got mine today, charging the cell as I type. ~33bux for the kit, ie with light/cell/charger/cable. And from Amazon, so you get it in a week vs a month.
(Shouldda tried for 2, but had hinky things with coupons before. Ie, try for 2, can’t get it, retry for 1, “you have already used this coupon…”, balls…, so I decided to play it safe.)
And I can’t believe Utorsh has its own version out there. Flash sale at GB, 30bux without the kit.
Them pir8s must’ve been working fulltime on it…
Oh, Mikey seems to be located in the US. I thought he was from some little country I’ve never heard of where Aliexpress was the only choice.
…and even then, not even. 
Yeah, does kinda bug me when someone (not Mikey, even though I got nfi where Uppuwhatever might be ) asks “Where to get XYZ?”, people chime in, then 40 replies later, get “Oh, I’m in Lower M’Botho, and Amazon/GB/AX/anyone doesn’t deliver anything here.”.
Ummm, so put it in yer profile, or say so beforehand, maybe?
Anyhoo, yeah, ’twas a nice deal. Think I wanna get another one. :laughing:
I just heard back from Tracy that this is a legitimate product that they made for Gearbest.
