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?

Re: C8 Heatsink GB from mrcrouse

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.

Re: C8 Heatsink GB from mrcrouse

Update op with focus knob prices and links, also updated list!

 

[Mrcrouse]

Re: C8 Heatsink GB from mrcrouse

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?

 

[mhemling33]

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

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.

 

[Mrcrouse]

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

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.

Excellent. I'll also be home this weekend, so I can check it out.

BTW that red on the C11 is sexy! is it as flat/matte in person as it looks in the photo? if so where can i get one of them as a flashlight?

 

[Mrcrouse]

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

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

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

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.
