After a brief hiatus , I got my first light in several years. An XinTD C8 XP-G2 from MTNElectronics. For those of you in the states, there has to be something said about MTN. They shipped out my order the next day and I got it in about 3 business days. I wish they had more flashlights in stock as I would have probably bought a few more.
I already put the C8 to good use last night. It was a windy night with gust up to 50 MPH. My wife put the trash out but didn’t secure it. The C8 lit everything up as I chased it down at 10:00 pm. >:# >:#
yeah little rope, it is designed for elderly so when they read a book it can hang above it and does not need holding.

not to hang the user
Received my first BLF A6 yesterday - black anodizing.
Damn! this light rocks! With an old VTC3 it ranks around 1200 lumens according to my ceiling bounce meter.
It’s like a Convoy S2 on steroids! Very happy with it… will buy more!
I got my BLF A6, a mini C8 keychain light which is of course rubbish and was purchased out of curiosity, and 4 30Q button tops.
The quality of the BLF A6 isn’t the best, if I’m honest. The packaging is really messy and bitty, there looks to be lots of anodisation gunk on the exposed part of the driver, and the reflector looks like it’s aluminium coating is coming off to show brass underneath or something. Does anyone know what’s up with the reflector?
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve just been playing around with the A6 and there is no real noticeable effect on the beam profile but it doesn’t exactly look presentable. I’ll message banggood with a picture (or video, which I’m sure they’ll request).
Hahahaha so cool!
And with that price could even use some points
Ordered and paid: (copy paste PayPal payment screen)
2,78 EUR
1,00 EUR = 1,097725384 US
Hahahaha still the remembrance of seeing 1,00 EUR = 1,37xxxxxxUS a couple of years back is not making this feel like a bad deal
Thanks!
Wow. €2.78, that’s even cheaper than I got it in GBP!
That mod looks awesome. I’m still yet to get my head around this modification thing. This mini c8 could be a good little intro project, though I can’t seem to figure out how to open the thing up!
The mini c8 can be disassembled from memory by knocking the whole guts out from the driver side. Its all just pressed in. Have fun with the mod. I still have a couple of different versions here patiently waiting to get modded.
Yea, I followed the link mini c8 and it said one can do that by knocking it out from the driver side, but I was having no luck so I tried the other method of putting a screw through the plastic flat lens and then using pliers to pull it out. It took a LOT of force to pull it out. I also think I ruined the circuitry by doing so as it now has intermittent continuity.
I’m going to order some parts and try my hand at modding this.
Also, check out that reflector. It looks like it has leprosy :S
I also got a mini C8 of some chinese brand last year from FT… It’s so cute!
However it’s really faint and very bluish… almost purple light. I’ll look at that modding thread mentioned above!
