Nice! The C8 is such a good general purpose light, glad there are no more blinky modes…

Nice beam shots

@264 - are you happy with the Convoy C8 XPL-HI 3A ?

I wonder what a 1A emitter would do to that factory building or the spill from the same distance?

@X3 I’ve got the stock Thorfire C8S and gee, I love what you’ve done to yours, hope TF make an XPL-HI version soon

I’ve read some good things about the XinTD but getting the thing shipped to OZ is likely going to mean its not an option for me

6

I know I’m tight but $2 shipping should be doable
I don’t know what I’ve done but think I’ve mixed sellers in amongst all my research today

Time to look again

Thanks

The C8 has one of the best if not the best throw for the size. Even with just a 3A driver it can smoke most other stock lights… Mod it with a FET driver and you get 100kcd+ easy, the reflector almost seem tuned specially for the HI and dedomed emitters.

Lots of people underestimate the C8 because it is so common and has a old design, I used to as well but was blown away when I built my first.
