The Ultrafire UF980L is a C8 alternative, with a similar beam with less spill, more throw, and the light is about 2cm shorter than a Convoy C8.
It’s my go to light for wow factor when going for a walk in the evening.
The bezel is a bit sharp for pockets until foybezelled.
Retail prices are all over the place, from $25 to $80.
Here’s an old review: Review: Ultra Fire UF-980L
“A Hot Rod Flashlight for Experienced Users Only”
“The Ultra Fire UF-980L is a flashaholic’s dream come true and that very fact makes it a very bad choice for a casual user. Right out of the box, the 980L is an over-the-top performer.”
