Review: Convoy C8 XM-L U2 1B 1x18650 8x7135 Flashlight

OK I believe my driver is a NANJG 105D
I see spec says
Input Voltage DC 3.0V~4.5V -volt
So I guess that’s a no :frowning:

Can anyone recommend a driver for 2x18650?

Currently there is no nice programmable 2x18650 driver, if you are in the states you could see what MTN has to offer, maybe zener modded nanjg 105c or if you are ok with soldering iron you could do that by yourself…

Hi Guys

I want your assistance
Got a flashlight
and is not believed to be authentic
you can help
Thanks.

Hello everyone! I was just wondering if it’s possible to make the entire head out of copper for a convoy c8 v2, this new version doesn’t have a pill.
Cost vs benefit? Thanks!

Can’t say for certain yet but it appears that the new Thorfire C8’s have the 2nd version pill that the Convoy C8’s had before going to a solid shelf. (I make a copper version of that pill) An entirely copper head would be pretty expensive for sure. It would require a 1.75” diameter x 2.25” long piece of copper bar and a significant amount of machining time, but sure, it’s definitely possible.

Hey Hoop thanks for responding, how much would the whole head cost? Im aware of the new thorfire with the removable pill but im not sure i want another c8 (got 4 right now). But let’s assume i get the new c8, how much would the copper pill cost?

It would be maybe a $10 piece of copper, and a typical machine shop would charge several hundred bucks to do one of them, probably. (I don’t want to make one lol)

Yup, i figured the actual labor would be the most expensive.
Thanks Hoop!

How much actual lumens does this light put out? i doubt its close to 1000 or?

If you’re talking about the Convoy C8, it’s rated at 960lm

I have one and can verify it’s definitely in the 1000lm ball park.

Why do you doubt it? Around 1000 is very typical output from the 8x7135 driver.

well its kinda cheap i thought it wasnt that bright guess i was wrong then.
