Convoy C8 + XPL HI LED 1100LM Latarka Przenośna

Хороший фонарик далеко светит, 250-300 добивает.Есть скрытые режимы о которых почему-то нет в описании :У драйвера есть 2 режима работы: базовый режим и режим программирования. Рассмотрим каждый подробнее.

Базовый режим
Обычный режим, при котором осуществляется эксплуатация фонаря. Коротким (менее 0.5с) кликом осуществляется смена режима. Долгим (более 0.5с) кликом осуществляется возврат к первому режиму, если запоминание последнего режима не активировано.

Режим программирования
Позволяет менять группу режимов или включать-выключать память последнего режима. Вход в программирование осуществляется следующим образом:
1) Включаем фонарь
2) 10 с лишним раз кликаем кнопкой, пока фонарь не погаснет на несколько секунд
Все, мы в режиме программирования. Здесь у нас есть 2 своеобразных «пункта меню», фонарь по очереди предложит их выбрать:
2.1) 1 вспышка + строб — переход к выбору группы режимов
2.2) 2 вспышки + строб — включение/отключение памяти последнего режима.

Чтобы выбрать соответствующий «пункт меню» нужно быстро кликнуть во время соответствующего строба один раз. Включение/отключение памяти последнего режима происходит сразу, а вот переключение режимов — отдельный квест, требующий умения быстро считать в уме) Итак, после входа в режим выбора группы, фонарь начнет делать серии вспышек, количество вспышек в каждой серии — по номеру группы:
1. 0.1%, 1%, 10%, 35%, 100%, строб, байк, проверка батареи
2. 0.1%, 1%, 10%, 35%, 100%
3. 100%, 35%, 10%, 1%, 0.1%
4. 1%, 20%, 100%, строб, байк, проверка батареи, SOS
5. 1%, 20%, 100%
6. 100%, 20%, 1%
7. 0.1%, 1%, 10%, 50%, сроб, байк, проверка батареи, SOS
8. 0.1%, 1%, 10%, 50%
9. 50%, 10%, 1%, 0.1%
10. 1%, 10%, 35%, 100%
11. 100%, 20%, строб
12. 100%

I have been a “Convoy” fan for many years. I love my Surefire, PK Design Labs and other lights too, but application and price point are considerations. Anyone looking for an inexpensive but good quality light, Convoy is it. Sure, if my life depends on a light being dependable, such as Firearm lights or when I am in a dangerous environment, I will always chose a potted light by a Company known for dependability with decades of experience-but with those lights comes a price tag at a high premium. If I am walking the dog, looking in the attic, etc, the Convoys are great. This C8 is their latest model(I have all their lights). It has an easy to use interface, good throw, bright and a pleasing beam. Although I appreciate 1,100 Lumens, I typically use the lower settings 90% of the time. If you want a quality, low cost light, this is it. I compare it to my 1983 Toyota Corolla, that I bought brand new-Toyota’s were known for great gas mileage and dependability, but in the 1980’s they added a few amenities that took it from “basic” to moderately “nice”. Not Luxury, but not “bottom of the barrel” either. I put 300,000 miles on that car and it rarely needed anything but gas & oil changes. Convoy will give you a lot of mileage without “breaking the bank”.

A good solid choice when it comes to buying a good torch, it's multi choice light setting i find is a must if not only to choose a lower light setting to save on battery consumption.

Solidly built with rubber O rings at every juncture to give more water proofing, if not to make it waterproof but of the latter which I'm unsure of. The strongest beam setting is more of a strong focused beam rather than the 'speard out' strong beam that I'm used to when purchasing cheaper brands.

I personally have found that this strong focused beam a lot more beneficial for location of items obviously in the dark, than the other that i just mentioned so it is a non question for future purchases to upgrade, something which i really should have known already being honest.

Gearbest items though not tracked usually arrive earlier that registered ones from others China sellers. Congrats on that!
This flashlight is not an exception. It also arrived for less than two weeks.
Sofar this is the best one I've ever had. Much better than my other Convoy 8 in terms of better cooling, stromger beam of light and better controller. It worht the upgrades haiving in mind that I bought it promotionally at the price of the old one. The best price on the net for this model. With Gearbest my best shopping esxperience is always on gear!

-takes common 18650 cells
-powers the XM-L HI at ~2A at 100%
-very capable throw considering the size
-surprisingly good cooling (better than the old C8)
-good UI with many modes (10 in total) ranging from 0.1% to 100% and SOS, strobe, battery check etc.
-optional memory (for those who like to be surprised)
-low battery warning and cut off so unprotected cells should be fine

Suggestion

-the brown color is not the same for body, bezel and tail, this is just cosmetic but some might be concerned about it (black and silver should be fine)
-very slip proof anodization almost like 600 grid sandpaper which is kinda nice, but also a bit uncomfortable
