I builded today yet another C8 for a fella hunter today and decided to compare it with an Olight M2X Javelot ( the newest XPL HI revision)
The C8- Used emitter is Fasttech one XPG2 S2 2B( hot dedomed ofc) on Noctigon, the driver is DD FET +1 x 7138 - i used IOS 18 AWG wires, the spring is the default one that came with the host bridged with a 22awg wire, same as the tail spring.
The glass was swapped with the Fasttech AR 41.5mm one
The gasket used is the one that came with the host- i sanded it like 0.5mm and perfectly centered it( the hardest part of all the work)- the gasket is fixed on the PCB with a glue , i used some sillicone grease on its top to prevent the reflector to twist/disorient it
Its the new COnvoy C8 btw, not the old pill one
Convoy:
Olight M2x Javelot
Lux/candelas measured at 3.35 meters( thats the max i can affort in my home), max current and the hotspot plus the emitter tint:
Convoy results : lux, max amp, hotspot and the tint:
Olight results: lux, hotspot and the tint:
max amps are 3.4 for the M2x, i forgot to take a pic:/
Both times a Samsung 25r battery was used
So….what do we have:
15770 lux/176978 cds for the Convoy C8 vs 15500lux/173948 for the M2X
That particulat C8 came out with a perfect hotspot too- better that the M2x one
The S2 2B tint is also better, most ppl here will like it, and the max amps i wont comment, its the best XPG2 at this moment on the market
This is yet another proof how good Convoy C8, the BLF DD driver and that particluar emitters are: for 1/3( 1/6) of the M2x price( after its HUGE discount atm) you can have smaller, lighter, ways more pocketable and ofc ways ways more BLF style thrower/hunting flashlight and thas a better tintand a better hotspot( if you are patient ofc )
