Does it show that I'm out on your end? My end shows that I still have plenty.

I see “Out of Stock”

OK Just checked and you have 33

Thanks

I'm looking for a forward clicky for the C8 (here). Does anyone know where I can find one?

edit: And in the future do you think you may stock them?

Richard you made a lot of site improvements from just a month ago. I like it. I prefer the "Grid" display view.

I wonder if your business will boom sometime soon.

I've been thinking about a MT-G2 build. Can a pair of 18350s fit in LP2 Solarforce? Can they fit in most C8 lights?

Edit: I like neutral tints, like a 3C... what do you guys think: A dedomed XM-L2 1A or 1D? Which gives a nicer color?

18350s will fit in a L2P even with a long spring on the driver - the C8 needs some work. The pill puts the driver too far rearward. MTG2 left, stock right.

Hi MRT, I will be stocking some nice forward clicky switches in the future. They will fit most C8 lights, but there is so much variance that it is hard to make any guarantees. Full measurements of the switch will be given so you will be able to see if for yourself if it will fit or not before purchasing.

On both my XinTD V4 and Ultrafire C12 I am able to fit two Efest 18350s with the qlite driver spring without modifying the pill by simply removing the brass plunger in the tailcap. The spring now contacts the cell directly but it gives you a lot more room. Again, with the variances in these lights it is hard to guarantee what will and won't fit, but you should have some idea by doubling up the measurements of the cells and seeing if that length looks like it will fit.

On a plain 'standard' (whatever that is these days) C8 they still poke out the back even with the shortened pill. The tailcap is different than a lot of other lights though, the switch retainer doesn't seat against the rear of the battery tube, so there's just barely enough room.

thx comfychair... that's way more info than I was expecting. excellent work

Ok more requests... you probably hate me

>dummy cells: D, C, AA size.

>14500/AA battery case/container: Fasttech example

>maybe the LUC V4 charger... once fixed...

I don't need one since I have a Thrunite MCC-4... but I think the LUC will sell well IF they fix it (cf. DBCstm post)

Calvin just verified the LUC is fixed, making the cells 4.2V plus or minus .05V. The new ones are sporting Bio v2.

And Jone pitched in from Efest stating that the Owners manual would reflect the 4.2V termination voltage.

AND…(so excited just gotta share…) I just built a Mini C8 running an Efest IMR10440 with an XP-G2 R5 2B on a Noctigon making 518 lumens OTF at start and 459 OTF @ 30 sec, pulling 2.49A…from this tiny cell! :slight_smile: It’s so much fun when a mod WORKS! :wink:

Sorry to butt in on another seller's thread but future LUC V4s will be fixed, existing inventory will definitely terminate around the 4.3V range. I'm not sure what sporting BIO V2 means, the BIO V2 is a different charger by Efest. The V2 stands for number of bays, not a version change of the charger. LUC, LUC V4, Bio V2 are three different chargers with 2, 4, and 2 bays respectively.

EDIT: I made a mistake, the Bio V2 actually happens to be a change in version, there existed a Bio V1, but the V4 in the LUC V4 refers to number of bays. Sorry!

That bit about Bio V2 is my misunderstanding, I didn’t realize it was a completely different charger. Sorry about that. Easy to slip stuff by me these days, lol.

( I leapt to a conclusion of a bios v2, like the software had been rewritten. Duh.)

Pics or it didn’t happen! Deserves a thread imho. :bigsmile: Love efest 10440s.

Sorry Richard, 2 pics, and it is relevant because the Efest IMR10440, the Noctigon 16mm pad with XP-G2 R5 2B and the Qlite all came from you. I already had the reflector, the mini C8 was a gift.

Dark room, no lights except my chopped AA mini mag triple in ultra low mode to show the Mini C8 in my hand.

The copper pill with Noctigon, XP-G2 and Qlite

This is one of those that almost fell together, like it wanted to LIVE! I used a Lenox bi-metal hole saw to cut a plug of copper from a 1/4” thick 1” wide bar I have. Just so happened that the core fit into the Mini C8 perfectly. 17.7mm in diameter, 6.4mm thick, with the 16mm Noc on top, re-flowed together. Had to do some relief on the battery tube with the rotary, but it was really one of the easiest mods I’ve done lately.

Thanks Richard, for making this so easy with readily available parts. I’m gonna need some more drivers……

Dale, awesome build! Any idea where we can get our hands on that Mini C8?

I'm out of qlite drivers until Monday. Had a couple of rather large orders that wiped out all of the stock. There will also be more AR lenses, emitter insulators, etc. on Monday.

I’m glad you posted this. That changes my plans for my build. Now I’m going to look for a different host. I’ll have to see at Christmas what my wife bought me from RMM and go from there.

I don’t know where this one came from, it was a gift to me.

It’s branded Guolin with GL-037-86 and 3W, even though all the literature says 1W. Need to change mine to 10W. :wink:

I got my mini C8’s from FT. They work, but they are pretty much junk stock. Not much more than a tiny host at the… $2.80 or w/e I paid per.

Btw batteries and assorted misc arrived today. I thought part of the order was missing “Why did he include this tiny box of foam” and then started pulling out foam from the cutouts and it was like a surprise miniature christmas present unwrapping.

A bunch of orders from other vendors arrived today as well… now I’ve got a pile up of parts and no idea where to start first. :bigsmile:

Unknown, start at the beginning, makes it much easier than starting in the middle and having to back up to go forward. :wink:

The parts you forgot why you ordered? Those are for me, just forward them on over here and I’ll sort em out for you…
