it was the xm-l2 version from jax store on ally, the beams are focused but my camera cannot capture it properly ill try again with them on a lower brightness
Do you have pictures of the hotspot size of the c8+
Unfortunately not, i have transplanted the white flat in a convoy L21A, which now does over 500 kCd @5A
At 1m the hotspot on a white wall is 8,5 ~ 9 cm
500kcd? you sure?
I have an L2 & C8+ with the higher power CULNM1.TG and 6a led4power drivers… Sure they are Bright but both of my aspheric setups eat them for breakfast using the same emitter/driver combo
Im pretty sure neither are 500kcd , as i recall Djozz & others only got beyond 500kcd using wavien collar’s
I haven’t measured the throw yet but the hotspot on the c8+ is 40mm or 4cm at 1m At what distance do you measure the lux
Lux readings done @5m, measured 20500 Lx
That’s for the L21A ?
Yes, with the C8 i got just over 200 kCd on 2,8A
200k+ on 2.8a damn I have mine at 4.7a in the process of adjusting focused but unfoused I got like 145kcd at 4.7a I must be doing something wrong lol
Proper focusing and centering is key !
(A.k.a. sanding down several gaskets to different heights, trial and error, see what works best)

Isn’t 5m a bit short for measuring lux in throwers? I don’t have throwers, but I always see people on BLF saying throwers in particular need a lot more distance to collimate the beam.
The problem are used light meters which may vary a lot in performance and react differently on different tints. Djozz wrote a lot about that.
Larger diameter zoomies and reflectors should be measured on greater distances as you told but for regular lights (50 - 70 mm head) readings should be quite accurate if meter is accurate even at 5 meters.
Ok, just for fun measured at 10m
5540 Lx
about 5500 at 30 seconds
That’s even more
If you have one of maukka’s calibrated lights (he sells them), he also includes the lux measurement. I asked him and he says he places it on a mount 1m away from his lux meter. So you could compare your lux meter to a calibrated light at 1m too!
My lux meter reads 3% lower than maukka’s readings.
I have comparable lights which are similar to maukka’s lights, we have conversated about it before, my readings are very close.
But still, let’s say it has a deviation of 10%, @5540 Lux on 10m would still make it 5000 Lx or 500kCd
Sorry it took so long….
Mod’s
66mm Lens (takes shimming to focus) but has a shorter 25mm FL
Driver (requires 20mm to 22mm adapter)
You do have to drill & tap the body, as stock emitter is just pasted with a plastic retainer
Thanks FC! Very nice build, impressive and beautiful beamshots!
TFC that is 500 plus KCD light for sure 
Thanks guys , I’ve done my best with it, maybe someday i will get my paws on a collar for it 
it’s certainly worth keeping an eye out for these older crelant models there are still some floating about new.
That said I’d really like to see Convoy produce some aspheric hosts
