He put the SST 40 in a Supfire M6 as well as the blf Q8. I don’t think he tried the xpl high but he did mention that the reflectors need to be designed for that particular emitter.

I ask, because I’m wondering it I CAN put 3 SST 40s in one of my C8Fs? :smiling_imp:

— might not be the best compliment, but if I shave (or DD) the SSTs- wondering what might happen anyway

You would need to swap to a mcpcb with 5050 pads. Mtn Elec had a few pads left the last time I checked. You could also go with 3 x xhp50 and 2 x 18350 Aspire cells and get 10k lumen! According to DB Custom.

Here is what DB said about installing the SST 40.

@DB Custom

And if you’re going to all that trouble, you may as well put three XHP-50.2’s in it and Zener modify an FET driver, use 2 Aspire 18350’s.

(my Ti X6 with 3 50.2’s is making 10,200 lumens off two of the Aspire cells, just sayin…)

Here is the mcpcb you need with the 5050 pad and fits the reflector spacing on the C8F.

@DB Custom

Richard shows to have 5 of the TPad’s in XM footprint at $5.45 each, better pounce!

@DB Custom

The SST-40 might require the holes in the reflector to be opened up, the XP-L2 is close in output and would fit without alteration.

Richard did have a 32mm MCPCB from Cutter that was triple XM footprint, that would work.

There is actually quite a bit of talk about the sst40 over in this thread.

The NEW Sofirn C8F Triple XP-L W2 w/side e-switch

Hey everybody, Dale here with another (yes I know) look at the new Sofirn C8F Triple. Tracy at Sofirn contacted me about this new revision and I bought the light at a discount on Amazon HERE They are offering a 25% Discount to BLF users with the coupon code N6LKSTK9. With the battery charger and a really good cell, this comes out to around $34. A pretty nice deal I think. They have upgraded the C8F to use a side e-switch and have several groups in the driver firmware that are easily selected b…
