C8 with XP-G2 beamshot vs a few others here.
Im not too impressed by the C8 for its head size. Its OK, Id take any other light instead though… Only good thing I can say about them are they are fairly cheap, and because of the large surface area they does not have much heat issues on high, even when driven fairly hard.
My XM-L C8 was my least loved XM-L light (I got rid of it, and that was nicely driven). Now that I have made a fairly hard driven XP-G2 on copper light, its still… meh… Not feeling it.
I only gave it a 2nd chance because so many people rave about them…
Is a proper XP-G C8 reflector considerably better than XM-L C8 reflector? Maybe I should buy one??
I need to try a de-domed XP-G2 in the C8 too. And maybe a bit more juice. If all that fails, Im giving up on the C8s… I don’t think they are my thing.
