What’s a Good Upgrade for My XinTD SC-82 Version 5 ???

Hey all.

I’ve had this light for several years now and it still works great, BUT I think it’s time for me to get an Upgrade.

I’d like to get something that has the same beam type or shape with more power. Does that make sense? I’d like to keep the price at $75 and under.

When I went searching for info on the XinTD, I came across several articles written back when it came out or shortly thereafter and one of the main points that the writers would praise it for was how inexpensive this fantastic light was. I think I got mine for around $33 or so.

I’d love to find another gem out there to take over for my XinTD.
Do you know of one….or a few?

Thanks for your time.

Looks like you want something that is the classic C8 size.
If you want to get something that takes a 21700 cell, I recommend the Convoy M21A.

The one I linked to has an SFT40 emitter, which is really good for throw.
If you’re okay with just a decent amount of throw (with plenty of flood), I suggest getting a flashlight with an XHP70.3 HI emitter, like this one.

(Of course, that flashlight has a larger head that might be too big for you.)

If you don’t like Convoy’s UI, Sofirn has at least one C8-sized flashlight that I have heard is nice.
I suggest checking out Convoy’s and Sofirn’s official stores on AliExpress and seeing what they have.

Here’s an image that shows the diameter of a bunch of Convoy flashlights.


A C8-sized flashlight has a diameter of 44.5mm, so that would be the Convoy C8, C8+, M21A, and M21E.

Hey Raccoon,

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll check them out this weekend and see what ones I like most.
Have a good weekend.

No problem.
I’m just surprised that no one else responded to your inquiry to give you another point of view. :thinking:
