hi
where did you buy this C8? My C8 it's threads are gone :< so i cant close the tailcap anymore... so I need a replacement host... so im looking for the cheapest c8 host :P
i need to be able to screw this pill into it :
thanks :>
There are tons of the old Q5 version on ebay. The price for mine was $8.59 and I bought it from the seller "hittime_hk".
too bad he's only selling the xml version atm :(
do you think i can fit my pill into this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/c8-cree-q5-5-mode-160lm-white-led-flashlight-w-strap-1-x-18650-114143?item=8 ??
edit: sorry i think i found it .. its this one right? --> http://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-Q5-Cree-Flashlight-Torch-Light-Lamp-5-Mode-Super-Bright-18650-Camping-New-1-/350546823242?pt=US_Flashlights&hash=item519e38084a
if so do you have the same pill as the picture i posted :) ?
Nice job on the driver transplant. I know Match descrbed that process for getting solder to stick to aluminum on here once. You probably centered led better than it was before.
Thanks Langcjl, I must have read it in obe of Matchs posts.
The good thing about the XR-E emitters is, they are practically self-centering once the reflector is in place.
@Maddoxx: The second link you posted is the one I bought. Your pill definitely looks similar, but I can't tell for sure. It could as well be one mm off in the wrong spot.
From what I've read, not all of the C8 flashlights are equally constructed...
I can confirm that this is a genuine C8 host for only 8.41. The only downside is that it has a plastic reflector.. other then that it is just fine! (It's the same host that gets sold on Kaidomain etc.)
But I fixed my broken c8 host with this :D I was able to screw the old pill into it just fine :)
Great 
I already have a better reflector from MF in mine, and a glass lens as well.
Hi everybody!
I have bought 2 ultrafire c8 xml t6 flashlights about one year ago and i am very pleased with them (i think they are genuine)
A month ago i bought another two from another ebay seller, they are a bit different (i think are fake) and didnt last long, the clicky switch broke on both and the led also it is gone.
I have found the clicky switch replacement ( 大龙网_跨境电商B2B商机平台_移动端跨境贸易新体验 ) but i can not find the xml-t6 led, can you help me our please?
Sorry for my bad english
I hope you enjoy your stay and keep coming back, theOS_the_one!
