This might be a repost, but here goes anyway. I was just buying another light for $16.09 on Ebay, I already have one of them, I like pairs, and I ran across this. Not looking to buy another light, but how could I refused this? I got two of them, three lights in one swoop!

BTW, I think the sale ends today…

Can you pls post a few words about light from hthe first link when you get it?

There are many C8 XML versions now and as production numbers rise quality is worse and worse.

Many of them have bad drivers and emmiter is strangely seated in the reflector - or the spacer between emmiter and reflector is to big - so it looses much of the spill…

From the pictures I cant conclude is this good or bad vestion…

SO info from you whhen you get it would be valuable :slight_smile:

PS: Also, they come mnow with different kinds of reflectors (at least two iinds), one is beter tha other not so good.

And they started to make them so bad that I even received one with totally hollow pill, emmiter board (star) sitting just on 0,5mm edge.

Will post up they arrive and I test them.

I asked seller of one of these to send me a close up photo from the reflector side.
These are underdriven, low quality internals, too big (to tall) plastic spacer between reflector and emmiter - thus diminishing spill - but light has really wide and nice hotspot (wich is not so hot because its underdriven….)
Its maybe 30 or more percents weaker than some other, better C8 XMLs.
