Convoy C8

[KITROBASKIN]

Even if someone just wanted to try out a compact thrower, this would be a prime choice with the XP-L Hi in a daylight tint or another color temperature of your choice.

Or, if you want full programmability with more modes than an Oveready, full potting, temperature regulation, and some other options (including a forward clicky switch), you could choose a custom maker like PFlexPRO to make a very useful tool. This gets the price close to Eagtac and others but you are getting a serious torch in a very appealing package.

The PFlex Pro lights have really got my interest for sure, trying to keep my wallet in my pocket but it's getting tough. Liking the Convoy S2+ host.

I ordered a stock Convoy S2+ from Fastech just to see if I like the host...the choices of emitters is almost overwhelming. I had to do a lot of learning about emitter "codes" before I chose one but all for the good! Know more than I did before! I think it was about $16.00 shipped. Seems too low for any quality but I'll find out.

You will be pleasantly surprised by the S2+. I have one that I built as a triple nichia. It's wonderful.

Got a C8 a couple of weeks ago. My verdict: you get an awesome amount of flashlight for under 20 bucks.
Very nicely machined. No obvious flaws.

I could use another compact thrower so I'm going to order one of these from Simon in NW today. Can I expect to be able to light up a German Shepherd sized dog out to 100 meters or so?

Should be no probs. Go for the XP-L HI version.

I'm new to the forum, and I recently purchased one of these at a local gunshow. I have no idea which one I got and not sure about the UI either. It seems to be decent quality for under $20. I can't seem to get it to strobe and seems to be no last memory function. Any help would be apreciated already looking to buy my next one.

The Convoy Family with all three C-8's, (have added the L-2 & Tiny XP-E-2), with Tan & Silver S2+'s on the way. Have 18350 body's to make them smaller if desired. Can't beat $1.45 for electric switches to add after purchase.
Odinwolf, can you post a picture of the led, and how many modes does your light have?
