First to introduce myself, I'm Mario from Zagreb, Croatia.
This is my first topic here and I'm new to this flashlight thing but really interested. I have been reading forum for some time and just apsorbing information until now, but now I would like do some small mods to my cheap flashlights.
Some time ago I bought Ultrafire C8 with XM-L T6 (not sure which, but CW color) and I would like to change some things.
First, I would like to have more light (actually more throw) and CW color.
Second, I would like change 3-mode driver to 1-mode. Now it has High, Low, Strobe. I only want High mode.
Looking through the forum I came to conclusion I can use this:
Dobrodošao!
I’m glad to know I’m not the only crazy person from ex-YU here (haven’t seen anyone else).
This looks like a nice start. you won’t go wrong with any of this, since I take it you are not planning high power mod. Those drivers are widely used and proven in Simon’s (Convoy owner) lights, and host probably doesn’t deserve anything better. I personaly wouldn’t want light with single 2.8A mode, you are limiting yourself to just outdoors use. But if you have others, nothing wrong with it. Good luck!
Thank you HorizontalHunter, I will read that topic.

No high power mod (for now).
I need this one only for outdoor use and have other cheap lights with flood for indoor/outdoor and grat little OTR M3 for EDC
Ate you sure about one mode?
With memory a light can be used as if one mode but in the situation a lower modes is more suitable it can be handy to be able to half press to that.

Thank you for info.
I just found Kaidomain website with many flashlight parts, is it safe to order?

Thank you
Sure about one mode for this one. I have another C8 to mode later and i may put some multimode driver (seen ones with many modes and programmable)
I need it to light the hill behind my house sometimes at night, and it is always sitting on the window.
And I can always change driver if I want to
I was looking for one more C8 host to make similar light for my dad but with OP and NW LED and found some cheap $5 C8 lights on ebay.
Is it any good to buy that and replace LED and driver?
Not concerned about finish/anodising that much…more interested in metal quality, is it any good?
