Control shot camera flash
Palight X4 LOW
Palight X4 HIGH
C8 mini with TIR lens pure flood no hotspot 400mA
C8 mini 1.6A
Sipik sk68 clone LOW
Sipik sk68 HIGH
Convoy c8 OP reflector 0,1A
C8 0,8A
c8 3,8A
The Palight has a similar beam pattern as the C8, but with a less intense hotspot due to the small reflector.

Thanks Koyote. Theres a lot of members here waiting for a review on this light. The comparison shot shows how small this light is. It would be interesting to see this light with a dedomed XPG-2 in it.

Nice job Koyotee,is there any detectable PWM on this light? and if you can estimate,how many lumens does it put out?I really like this little torch,and it might be really nice with a Dr. Jones driver in it.

I couldn’t notice any PWM but that is subjective, estimated lumes, i’d say about 400-500, but maybe that is due to the battery which is this one Xtar 14500 - 800 mAh 3,6 V - 3,7 V geschützter Li-Ion-Akku | akkuteile.de . More on those tomorrow, when i get the beamshots And yes, shes a beauty

Nice review, thanks. I too like small, easy to EDC lights, particularly when equipped with neutral or warm XM-Ls or better yet XM-L2s.
I’m fighting the temptation to pick one up…like I need another light.

I like side switch lights easy to operate with out changing position of grip, beam shots when you can.
Thank you

You may have set the standard for reviews many of us “noobies” really want to see, especially for budget lights.
For those of us from the BLF “parent thread,” here’s a link to the questions, issues and unknowns which koyotee was kind enough to respond to: A New 1xAA/1x14500 light with Side Switch (Stepless Version Added)
Great job, and Thanks!

Aliexpress, soon at other vendors too. I think a groupbuy is also very likely to happen.
Nice review, this is a handsome light. I think it looks better than the solarstorm .
Thanks for the review koyotee. Am I just being selfish hoping for a UI comparable to zebralight’s?
