@L4M4

Is the battery tube long enough for protected cells - or is this still the “too short” version? Looks fantastic. Edit: OK, it’s written there… protected and unprotected fit. Great!

+1.
Thank you Simon for listening to us. The grey looks awesome.

One question about the custom options:
Modes customization with the 4 different groups - you select one with soldering a connection between a star and the outer ring. Does it cost extra, if I want this driver instead of the 2 modes stock driver?

no extra money

Very nice Simon…for those vendors that LISTEN to the customers…they will make ALOT of sales

i have xpg2 R5-1A and R5-4C ,i can assemble it in my C8

If you can make one gray C8 Torch with XP-G2 R5 (or brighter!) on noctigon fastened with arctic silver to host for extra throw, tint around 5A2 and QLite 4-Mode (moon, low, mid, high) 3.04 Ampere driver with memory, i will order instantly - promised!

I think, i will not stay alone ordering such a beauty!

Could you offer spare aluminum pills for new C8?

[bibihang]

I am one of those who prefer a grey colour C8 and I find this sexy!

As for the black colour version I prefer it to be matte finish (instead of shiny black).

Yes, maybe we can make a group buy for a special version.

C8 BLF Edition?
15$, XM-L2 DTP copper star, 3-4 Mode with moon and turbo (4 Amps), AR lens

You would sell hundrets of these I guess

I’m not a friend of the XP-G

Just. Do. It.

$15?
The current gray convoy C8 is $16.92. A DTP copper star, AR lens, custom 4amp driver adds costs. Expect a higher price. If there is enough interest for a GB of a few hundred flashlights then the price could come down but a $15 feels unlikely.

If you guys really want to try for a BLF convoy light you need a more realistic initial price.

Is this the new C8?
Does it support long cells?

[L4M4]

@Werner:
Klick mal auf den Link, es steht in der Produktbeschreibung, dass lange Akkus passen

@Halo…
Yeah… maybe you are right.
Was just written in haste

I wonder why there was never a Convoy GroupBuy yet?
Those lights are so famous here (for a reason)…

Why such a great light like Convoy L2 disappeared from market?

Do you have plans for any updates?If yes,side switch would be nice.

Good news ! I hope its going to be similar to the Convoy L4 but much bigger.

Better yet, improve the pill design and make it to accept 26mm or 32mm MCPCB to clear the solder joints with the reflector base. Also make sure the pill can accept 21mm driver with minimum 12mm in height.

I have been waiting for this. Ordered one.

@led4power

Could you offer spare aluminum pills for new C8?

Simon,
I think there really is interest in buying spare pills in general (not only C8). I alone would take

- 2x S2+ pill

- 4x S2 pill

- 4x old S3 pill

• 2x new M1 pill
  Perhaps you might consider to offer them seperately.
  I could start a new thread to gauge the interest if that would help you.
  Just a thought.
