Any input that I can send Dealmetic on what version of c8 we might be interested in I
As there are already loads of good C8’s available, I’d personally opt for something different to mainstream.
-A heavily driven XP-E2 with SMO reflector.
-Nichia219B maybe with a similar driver to that used in the Zuesray zoomy.
-Or a balls to the wall 5amp XM-L2/XP-L

Maybe they’ve bought a bunch of surplus C8 bodies, can’t admit they bought obsolete host shells, so want ideas how to salvage them?
Heck, where are the zoomie hosts they were promising, eh? Used ’em all up?
Maybe C8 with XP-G2 well driven on DTP star.
To his design team let’s see what. Comes of it
How about a 26650 cousin to the ZeusRay? Bigger head, large tube, bigger lens but still compact like the standard zoomie. Nice bright XM-L with a 3.05A Nanjg driver. Under $18 complete or and $10 host option. Brass solid pill and glass lens. Serviceable tail switch rated for the 3A load. For me, add the 16-mode 3 group driver for bike light use.

If they can improve on this model... high amps, solid pill, sliver bezel and low cost. I will order 10!
It still needs a bigger lens… but yes, that’s the idea.
How about a cheaper version of the JAX Z1? Maybe non coated lens, alumnum pill and don’t include an extension tube.
That would be great. A budget version.
Dealmetic if you read my looonnggg post it shows how dealmetic management is Making the.c8 version. Come hell or high water I think Hank said it best when he said dealmetic probably already bought a ton. Of c 8 hosts .
