Sometimes preset levels of low and medium aren't ideal, so it's great to have control over that.


The V2 does not have a temp limit so it needs changing to a lower level once it's getting too hot to hold. The V1 doesn't either, but have an upgraded part for it which does, so let me know. I haven't officially announced this upgrade since I'm wanting to use up the parts I have on hand first.

As Joe has mentioned it probably would be a good idea to get a headlamp instead of trying to get a torch to fit into everything.

The below image is at 50m

Osram C8+ V1 - Osram C8+ V2
Convoy XPL HI - Convoy C8+ SST40

Based on best runtime

C8+ V1
C8+ XPL HI
C8+ SST40
C8+ V2

Based on range

C8+ V2
C8+ V1
C8+ SST40
C8+ XPL HI

Based on those pictures I'm not sure I'd like the V1, the beam on that SST40 looks like what I'd want.
Realistically what's the difference in runtime when in high/turbo mode?
