Taking payment now!



Just send payment to the paypal address listed in the spreadsheet, and include your forum name in the payment. I'll then mark you as paid, and we'll try to ship it within a few days.

Update: We have met are minimum order requirements so I am giving anyone else until Sunday 04/27/13 to join in on the GB.

Hey guys, many of you have just purchased UltraFire C8 flashlights. In Hak's deals thread ryansoh3 informed us of a special going on :beer:


C8 flashlight with XM-L LED $8 with coupon code 09Boff799
UltraFire C8-T6 Cree XM-L T6 5 Mode 800LM White LED Flashlight Torch (1*18650) - Free Shipping

Pretty awesome deal I think. May be selling at a loss too.

The sale is now over but I have found a seller on ebay selling them for $6.80 shipped.

Tactical 300LM CREE Q5 LED C8 Portable Flashlight 18650 Torch Lamp 5 Mode | eBay

This one is only 300lm but if we are using it for lasers then who cares. If you look here these lights have a decent size head which is enough room for a decent size heatsink.

SixTee9 also gave us a link for a C8 w/ battery and charger deal for $15.99 :beer:

If we get together of 20-30 heatsinks mike said they can do a run for us! He also will give us deals on some knobs for a combo package.

Prices are below

$15+PP Fees+Shipping
1" knurled focus knobs +$6
Smooth Flow 1.5" Big C8 Version +$25



Here is a picture of mike's knurled knob on a C11 I got from him.

Here is an example of what a smooth flow is. The ones for the C8 will be larger to fit in the ID of the bezel. I also used GITD epoxy on the inside, this doesn't come with it.

This is a good deal IMHO, mike and his dad do some beautiful work and are always get it done in a decent amount of time. I am sending 3 of my lights to his dad tomorrow to measure for a variance.

Let me know what you want and if you are interested in getting the knobs to go along with it.

Re: C8 Heatsink GB from mrcrouse

I might be in for some depending on how this sale this week goes for some c6's. Also would be nice to gut these for the emitter. I'm assuming in on a 20mm star?

You can also add 1" knurled focus knobs for $6ea. Maybe Anodized Smooth Flow Focus Knobs for $25ea (Probably ~1.5" in diameter) have to figure out the dimensions.

Please note that the smooth flow knobs will be built for these hosts, not the ones used on the C6's.

Re: C8 Heatsink GB w/ Focus Knob Options! from mrcrouse

cool, good luck with the GB :beer:
I'm interested in one heatsink for the C8 host (PM'd ya too).
A knurled focus knob might be good (you should post a picture of those).

Is the heatsink going to be direct-press or 12mm bore? and if the latter, will there be a set-screw or not?

Added pictures of knobs!

The heatsink will come with a 12mm bore and will also have a set screw ;)

I have no idea how mike handles international shipping we gotta wait for him to answer that.

International shipping is not a problem. The heatsinks will be a 12mm reamed bore with a 6-32x1/8" socket set screw. A matching 1/16" allen wrench will be included with EVERY heatsink.

I got that host for Dealextreme. I'd say it is a fairly flat/matte finish.

yeah it's definitely a flat/matte finish and pictures don't do it justice. It's hard to get an image of what it looks like in person.

but the C8 is just a mini version of this! The C11 has been my go to host from mike because if its clean looks and large heatsink (low price also helps!), that is why I am excited about the C8 it will make an awesome smaller laser with a pretty decent runtime compared to the C6 due to the head size.
