In Hand shot added to the review:

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

21

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:

22

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.

23

Thanks for the review! Absolute steal at the price.

24

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:

26

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

27

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

28

Error. Does not compute… :~

29

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.

31

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

32

33

34

I ordered the newest KDC8 last week i am waiting for it to com e to due. Y own informal comparisons to my Lightmalls LU3s

35

Anybody know where I can buy this guide ? Or a similar one? :beer:

36

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.

37

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. :beer:

38

Will it work with the Ultrafire C2/C8 Pressure switch ?

39

I have a few of the Lightmalls CLU3 anx I have the latest KDC8 XML2-U2 on order should be here any day I cant wait to compare them to each other!
