From checking around, this looks like a bargain.

Yes, they are going for that price for a few weeks in a row.

What would be the advantage of this C8 with a Q5 over an xml? Throw? Less heat?

Probably worth the cheap price but....

It has plastic lens and reflector.

It has Q5 instead of the XM-L.

Mine is much dimmer than my KD C8 and my XinTD C8.

I am using mine as a host for the C8 screw in pill from Intl-Outdoors that has XM-L with the 105C driver and also metal reflector and glass lens.

In my opinion the C8 size reflector benefits best from the XM-L led.

My Q5 C8 throws better than my XM-L C8.

Less heat, yes.

XM-L C8 has impressive flood for its size. Hell, get both!

All they are worth IMO.

it says " made with fortified glass lens". I don't know what is "fortified" but, are you sure lens and reflector is plastic?

I bought mine from the same dealer, same pic, same description.

The lens and reflector are light weight plastic on the one that arrived at my house.

So cheap C8 at BIC.

Anyone have it? Is pill full or hollow?

I have one that looks just like it, good throw. Mine had a plastic lens, plastic reflector, and sharp edges on the battery terminal of the tail cap. But for $10 it is worth it.

Wow :bigsmile:
C8 from BIC

Not XR-E LED, but XP-E. Plastic reflector(half OP, half SMO), glass lense, full pill. For just 8$(5% discount).


Question. Light has reflector for XP-E. Is these reflector ok for XP-G or XM-L?

I would think them perfect for XP-G and better for XM-L than the usual XR-E reflectors. This has the large opening and flat’ish base you’d want for XM-L.

Uf, these light has more tight hot spot than Jacob A60.

I read about full and hollow C8 pills before. I wonder if someone could post pictures of both so I could see the differences?

One has a hole in the middle, one doesn’t :bigsmile:
I got the same q5 c8 off eBay nice light, pulls 1.38a @ tailcap, works well in my headstrap and is my current work light mine always starts on strobe so a quick double tap has it on high so a driver swap maybe on the cards.

I quite fancy a 3a xml version as well now I have it.

Oh, mine is smo reflector rather than op

Oh, I see
And I've been wondering, if the pill was full, where would the driver go

Jacob A60 and these C8(more blue beam)
