Review: Convoy C8 XM-L U2 1B 1x18650 8x7135 Flashlight

Convoy C8 vs KD C8?

I do not have the KD C8 either. I’ve been tempted to go for the XM-L2 version they have listed. I already have three C8s though…

I would say the Convoy C8… Great review. I know I really like mine.

If it is better than the KD, it is one of the best, after XD.
What do we know about Convoy, I cannot find something about them on net.

Great review relic, thank you.

For some reason I was under the impression that the C8 was quite a bit larger than it is. After reading your review, it seems that it’s actually quite small.

That’s a really nice light for the price too, value for money wise, this even beats the A60 ? looks like it.

Thanks Spasmod, I appreciate it.
The Jacob A60 will outthrow the C8, even an XR-E based C8. I prefer the C8 because of the size and a little more flood. Having the OP reflector balances it perfectly for me. Probably not for everybody though.

i have the convoy and kd, both are almost identical besides reflector.
i prefer the kd, it throws further and have a nicer warm tint. flood/spill equally the same.
if you dont mind paying about $5 more, id go kd, but if your on a tight budget, the convoy is super nice. one of the better lights out there for that price.

Finally! A review of Convoy C8! Thank you :slight_smile:

My Lightmalls C8 with U3 emitter has been arrived and I am very satisfied with it. Before I ordered Lightmalls C8 I was doubting whether I should went for Convoy, but at last I prefered the smooth reflector more.

Next, I am hoping someone will order the KD XM-L2 C8 and post a review about it :stuck_out_tongue:

In Hand shot added to the review:

BTW, there is one Convoy C8 SMO; with a T6 3C (5000K) emitter.

You’re welcome.
I’ll probably pass on another C8, so it will not be me. I have a host that’s waiting for an XM-L2 U2 on copper. :wink:

I found another error; I calculated the throw wrong by shortening the distance by one meter when calculating it. It went from 11.2kcd to 21.2kcd. Much more typical for a C8.

Thanks for the review! Absolute steal at the price.

Nice review, pictures can hardly wait for some beam shots, the Lightmalls C-8 was my first budget light thanks to reviews like yours it fit size fit my needs perfectly and the C-8 s exceeded my expectations of out put I agree the C-8 is a must for 1st time flashaholics looks like I missed out on a better price from fasttech. Get those beamshots up

relic38: THANK YOU!!! :bigsmile:

Thanks for the review relic. I’ve never had a C8, and I may pick up the host for this Convoy.

BTW, I have 6 of these coming in some time in the next month. Two Neutrals :smiley: and two cool.

Error. Does not compute… :~

LOLOLOL!!! hahahahah!! Oops! :Sp That was after working a night shift. 3 neutral white and 3 cool white.

Love my Convoy 3c T6 C8, best C8 by far I’ve got out of four of them. Definitely worth a punt.

Thanks very much for the review! Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.
