It's a pleasure to know you, sailor123!
If you want a cheap thrower, the Convoy C8 is not a bad choice.
The XM-L2 emitter is kinda old, though.
You might want to get one with a better emitter.
Hi there and welcome! Don’t be fooled by the price of the Convoy C8 with XM-L2… It is an exceptionally performing flashlight!
Welcome to BLF !
My first ‘serious’ flashlight was a Convoy C8 (the previous model) with a XM-L2 in it.
Mine had a not so nice 3C (greenish) tint LED in it and i never got used to the tint shift either…
Later bought the newer version, a matte black one with an XP-L HI in it with the so much nicer 3A tint in it.
Less tint shift too, and much more throw (narrow beam).
Is the Convoy C8+ with the SST40 newer than a Convoy C8 with a XP-L HI?
Yes, definitely newer.
The Luminus SST-40 is a new kid on the block, compared to Cree XP-L (HI).
The SST-40 can handle much more power too.
In fact, the SST-20 performs similar to an XP-L HI.
Oh good now I feel much better! /walks away with head held high\
