I'm thinking of a Convoy C8 host, with a XP-G2 R5 on Noctigon copper, Qlite driver (using very low, low, medium, and high modes) and a KD XP-G reflector. Would I need to remove one or more 7135's or would 3 amps be OK?
Trying for a budget Armytek Predator.
EDIT: Finished Flashlight as above - very ringy beam with an XP-G plastic centering piece, removed that and used a sticky insulator instead and the rings vanished.
And it has good throw. There are no streetlights in my area, and I can make out a white painted fence at approx 350 meters with it (distance measured with GPS).
Just did the same thing to my Convoy C8. I haven’t used it for long periods of time on high yet but everything seems fine so far. I’m pretty happy with the results.
Doesn't the Convoy C8 use a one-off pill with different threads, and fit for only a 16mm star? Might be better off starting with a more universal host, nice (other than that pill) as the Convoy is...
