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

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.

I ordered the newest KDC8 waiting to compare to Lightmalls C8LU3

I ordered the latest KDC8 I cant wait to compare with my Lightmalls C8 LU3 and so my own in formal review

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

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

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. :beer:

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

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!

My order arrived today and the ‘butterfly’ shaped one works.

That’s a good question for Fasttech, maybe they will test it. :wink:
It depends on the threads. I do not have my Convoy C8 with me at the moment so I cannot swap tailcaps to see if they are compatible. When I get it back I will try this, if the question hasn’t been answered already.
Edit: Answered here :frowning:

Very tempting. The T4 7C Convoys are interesting too.

The max output - 2,800 mA vs 2,100 mA. No sense in getting the 2,100 mA (6 x 7135) version, go with the second one listed.

To select the other mode group, switch to low mode. In about 4 seconds or so the light will blink. Right after the blink, quick press the clicky. Now the light is in the other mode group.

Hi, does anyone have the patience to explain to the noob here whats the difference between the emitters XM-L U2-1B and XM-L T6-3C Tint? Output? Durability?
I really like this little flashlight, it will be my most powerful option (only have Sipik SK68’s and another generic 18650), the large OP reflector is exactly what I need.

Thanks for your time!

U2 1B will be [very] slightly more efficient, but much “cooler” in tint.

T6 3C is NW, probably the most common neutral white XM-L. 3C is actually to the coolish end of neutral white technically.

this might help….

Your explanation was very useful. Chart is a great bonus! Thank you!
