Is this a C-8 clone for less than $4.00?

Is it a C8? Looks like one but no real details. Can’t tell if it takes an 18650 battery or what.

I think so but if it is 1 watt then it has a drive current of around 300 ma. Of course it would be worth it as a host... :D

9cm long.

Probably the AA copy.

I just looked up what’s written on it “Pailide GL-K79”

If it is that light its a full size C8.

Well the limited details say 9cm long and 2.5 cm wide, were as a C8 is roughly 14.5 long x 4.2cm at the head so I would have tho think this a miniature caricature of the real deal.
Also says 1W which is deal breaker.

The other one they list;

at $10.97 is listed at 14cm so maybe that one is true C8.

But ya never know, might be worth the $3.58 to find out.

I have a similar one and about same size as advertised. Mine's AAA. The output is not too bad though, uses joule-thief boost circuit, emitter is cheap LED.

BIC had them for $2.60 or something.

Maybe that one is indeed the c8, ’cause with the sepcification of the items

A C8 will not fit inside a case that is 40 x 40 mm outside. So not a C8.


This shape would be a C8.
Or like this:

How about a surefire . for 3$

I wonder if they have $11 sunwayman lights

Seems legit, as Surefires are worth exactly $3.... hmm, is there an easier way to get a perma-ban on CPF? ;-)

That Surefire looks good. I bet I could sell it on CPF for $200. LOL!

Runs pretty long on a charge.
Super long throw.
It has a nice feature that if battery level gets low,

However the c8 is actually showing more than the 500ma

I can almost smell paisley coming up

I think it’s a mini style ,not a real C8


I never thought they were different!
