Sofirn C8L (XHP50D.3 HI) vs. Sofirn C8G (SST-40): Comparison Shots

Thanks for the the video, I have one on the slow boat from China. Looks like a good allround beam profile.

Took 13 days to get mine. Well worth it.

I got mine the other day, 20 days in transit. Great flashlight with a nice UI. The XHP50.3HI is a good upgrade from the old XHP50 series. The MCPCB is an odd 23.7mm size (messured with my cheap calipers). The 6500K is a bit too cold for me, so i changed it to a CREE XHP70.3HI 4000K CRI90 from Kaidomain

Floodier beam?

Thanks for the nice beamshots!

Pardon the newb newb question, I’ve been out of the loop for a little while. I’m seeing quite a few new emitters out and trying to learn abkut them…
Is the xhp50.3 domeless?

Yes, all .3s are domeless and intended to be more range-worthy as opposed to bloody.

Cree’s website indicates there are domed (“HD”) and domeless (“HI”) versions of all XHP.3 sizes.

Very nice beamshots, and greetings from a fellow Texan! C8L is turning out to be a really cool light. It would be a great host for BlueSwordM’s GT-FC30 group buy as well. Exciting!

Wait wait, the C8L uses a boost driver? Color me interested now.

Yes not as tight as the XHP50.3HI, but much better color IMO. I have ordered a 4000K XHP50.3HI from KD to use in this light. I don’t have any beam shots, this time of the year it’s not really dark in Denmark.

Mmm, that’d be nice if they came in photo-red…
