GB: Copper C8 head for 25mm Khatod Quad optic, 24mm Carclo's

My D80 ran much longer than 2 minutes. And it doesn’t have to be 2 18350’s. There’s always options.

Situational demands, sometimes the first few seconds are the one’s that really count the most.

True enough, but for some others shock and awe are the goal. Not every flashlight in one’s collection has to be practical.

Im in for Copper C8 head with Khatod Quad optic.

Does that mean you’re making a long tube for the C8? :stuck_out_tongue:

I make whatever a whim guides me to make. Y’all oughta know that by now! lol I already have a long tube C8, it’s a 304SS tube made for me by Bucket that is presently attached to the half pound copper pill melded to a C8 head. :wink:

As long as the tube has male threads on both ends I can make a longer two cell tube from it. Solarforce L2X is more difficult since it has less overlap in the head but a 2x18650 C8 is no problem. I’ve only done the 502b that way so far because I added so much copper to it to handle the extra heat. This head will be ideal for an extended tube since it will already be made to handle the extra wattage. I have a feeling that a few of us will be doing different versions of 2x18XXX tubes for this puppy. I’m a bit jealous of those with a lathe but in all honesty I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I had it and enjoy the challenge of getting by without one.

If your head was compatible with Solarforce bodies (like the Solarforce M3/K3 head), then we can pick either tail clicky (L2) or side clicky (L2D).

If your head was compatible with the Solarforce M7, that would give us a dual clicky setup using a really nice thick M7 body.

In general, IMHO I think Solarforce bodies look better-finished than Convoy bodies so just making a suggestion…

Solarforces are expensive hosts. I’m not huge on the idea of making heads for all sorts of lights, but like VOB said, Convoy is the SureFire of BLF.

I can do a complete host. Miniaturized Judco 10A switch in the tail, illuminated tailcap ready. For now I don’t have a problem keeping compatibility with Convoy C8 V2 V3, but if they change the style of the threads to a modified square profile like the C8S, I will drop compatibility and switch to ACME threads and call the platform by another name.

SOLD! :wink:

Im in for one. Will the standard c8 bezel be able to thread onto this? Thanks.

Negative. The head is much smaller than the standard C8 head.

Subscribed :blush:

1 Copper C8 head with Khatod Quad optic for me, thanks.

No P I’m still in for one. Thanks for doing this you are a hero!

I didn’t realize the price had gone up to $44 and the list restarted. Im still in for the head and possibly a full light. Im liking the sound of a 10amp judco and a Dr Jones h17f.

Put me down for one of the heads or complete light depending on how this project develops.

I’m in.

How’s this project coming along?

Well, I have the optics and a couple of reflowed quad boards, but I am more persuaded now to make a full host than just a C8 head.

One plan, for a particularly economical host, is to take the 2x26650 L2 extension tubes and chop them down to make a quad Khatod 26650 shorty knurly. Not sure what everyone thinks of that… I’ve ordered the tubes and should be getting them pretty soon.

Wondering why you didn’t order the short tubes for an L2 to begin with?
