I’m happy w the one light with an osram. Was considering between the C8+ XHP50.2 and the XT45 SBT90.2 and Vin just had the single mode XT45 which I think I’m going for!
But further down the road I will absolutely go for the XHP50.2 C8+
Is it possible to configure the Osram version for single mode, 100% only?
To my knowledge, the C8+ design is by Simon at Convoy
Is this an authorized version? Am I under the wrong impression here?
I don’t think out-of-box it can be configured that way.
Perhaps to more knowledgeable driver modders, it can be done.
Neal’s superb thrower for the money C8+ Osram Flat white with prices ranging from $19 to $24…depending on choice of Aluminum or Copper MCPCB is not bad at all.
It’s available using this link: C8+ Osram
For the XHP50.2: C8+ XHP50.2
I guess that even if it is his design, other stores are selling that model on AliExpress. 
I designed a new corvette when i said hey put a supercharger on that and make it orange 
Ordered the Wainlight NM1 a couple weeks ago and it says at customs, want to compare this to my FT03 sst40
Meh. I’ll give Simon my money 100x over before Neal
What is the difference between the Osram KW CSLNM1.1, Osram KW CSLPM1.TG?
Does the latter have a further throw?
Neal said the NM has more throw, while the PM has more lumens.
I hope they are comming from convoy but just rebranded. Can somebody confirm?
Neal’s C8+ hosts are sourced from Wainlight. Some other parts are sourced from his contacts in the industry.
Take a close look at the pics, from the host to the internal parts, the reflector, the tailcap/spring assembly…not you would expect from a complete small thrower Osram light at just about $20!
I got one of the white flat c8s ($15USD one) but ended up using it as a host for another white flat on copper MCPCB, and a 5A driver from Convoy, as the one that comes with it is 8*7135, so 2.8A. Thing is a monster; I’ll do throw measurements on it tonight. (Unrelated, I know, but good to see what’s possible)
Would you mind linking to the driver you’re using please
So with a 5A driver and wf1 on copper mcpcb, I got 8966 lux at 5m, which is 224150 cd, which is 946.89m of ANSI throw.
5m is too close for a thrower like this. I do 10 or 15m otherwise you can get a higher reading.
The reading also depends on how accurate your light meter is.
At 4.7A (same 5 amp driver) I got 975m. I thought that was accurate until I saw 1lumen’s review on the FT03 SST40 at 950m while I got 1040m. I think my meter is reading too high. The review was using quite an expensive meter so I reckon their’s would be more accurate than mine.
Make sure you do the test outside otherwise the light reflecting off the walls will add to the result. Inside vs outside gives 20-30m difference.
Neal’s is only driven at 2.8A so it’s certainly not the claimed 1000m or the 700 lumens. Mine at 4.7A gets 720 so 2.8A certainly isn’t 700
Yeah, will have to do a test outside; pretty rainy here tonight.
That said, I reviewed the E10 (will be up on 1lumen soon) and got similar results at 5m inside to 10m outside, with outside giving slightly more distance. Zeroair got similar results to me, so I’m inclined to believe my lux meter.
Food for thought! Will replicate outside when the weather is nicer.

The CSLPM1.1G w/copper MCPCB model I bought is using a BLF A6 driver and is reading >4A on a 30Q using a regular mulitmeter with regular thin probe wires.
