Well i couldn't resist my little finger had a mind of it's own and before i knew what was going on i had bought and paid for it 
lets hope its as good as budgeteer's light !! if not i have a could always swap the driver for one of the KD ones :-)
I don't have a C8 to compare but looks (beamwise) better to me. Beamshots to follow during the week!
had it in my cart as soon as i saw it and purchased last night. I did'nt care if i had no idea what driver was in it as i wanted this body anyway and was going to mod it. Theres always that KD driver and maybe a U2.
All of you who did purchase this please consider also the SMO reflector of the C8 that should fit in it (dimension wise) along. I really like the SMO in that one. I have too many P60 rather floody XM-L's. Thank me later.
I have a SMO c8 reflector on the way and will confirm this in a week if someone is willing to wait and play it safe with the reflector.
Is that reflector available on its own ?
Besides the C8 SMO reflector question, I would very much like to know the current drawn on Hi and Lo with stock driver.
(Itching all over.)
I can't wait to see what you guys say when you get yours in the mail. That torch is the hotness in my eyes! Been spending way too much money the last month but I will be ordering this baby in a month or two.
I THINK, if I converted it correctly, that it works out to around 882 lumen which is well within the potential output and isn’t too shabby. I’ve already put in my order with my gal to have this wrapped and waiting for me come Father’s day! 
I've had rather an expensive month, so I'll hold off on this until the reviews are in as well.
Bah! That sounds far to sensible :P
Does anyone that has/is getting this light have a KD C8 that you can compare it to?
Still thinking about the Trustfire F15/KD C8/Ultrafire 980L lights.
Wish someone here had more than one of the above lights so we could compare tham.
Nevermind, I just ordered the F15 with a spare SMO reflector. Manafont must love my weakness for their lights.
Is it this the reflector that you ordered

or have you found one F-15 specific?
That is the one I ordered with my F15. I don’t believe there is one specific to that model available for it yet. Word is that that reflector is compatible though. i will know for sure in a couple of weeks when I get mine.
Ive had mine for two weeks now and ive been happy with it. i guess one of the first things to do is to maybe get the LED epoxied to the pill because it just floats on it right now with thermal grease. i really dont think its hurting anything but the led can move off center. seems to dissipate heat well with that chunk of aluminum for cooling.
Ah, I thought that part was stainless steel?
Hopefully it's aluminium as that would make it's conduct heat rather better that SS would.
Is the shiny bit that's visible when the light is assembled just polished or is it chromed?
I thought it was SS, but I just ordered mine, so won't know for sure for a couple weeks.
My thoughts exactly. KD C8 has been on my minds for months now but I was hoping for more choices but still the C8 seems to be the hardest to beat.
