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
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.
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
Fasttech has some options in their Flashlight Diy category. I use the plastic ‘butterfly’ shaped ones mostly, although I bought some of each type to have in stock.
I have not found any of this exact type yet.
Thanks Relic! I got also that butterfly on order but I like the one similar to the Convoy as it aligns the reflector to the emitter nicely. WIll keep looking.
