I've been looking for the cheapest C8, this is it so far. Compared to the Convoy C8 the finish is a bit shinier, but well made, not cheap looking. The threads are a bit on the loose side and not lubricated. There are O-rings in all needded places, they seal well. The reflector is made out of coated plastic, well made with some imperfections. The led sits on an aluminium star plate wich is press-fitted into a hollow pill, not the best thermal coupling. The light turns on in high mode, then it cycles through mid, low, strobe and sos. In high it draws 1.25 amps, in mid 0.6, in low 0.3. I swapped out the tailswitch to a 1288 LED Lighting Switch For (Product ID: 1222301) works fine but much dimmer then as a Convoy Overall I'm impressed, this is a perfect flashlight for the money.

I had a C8 brass pill sitting around so I decided to make a custom build from this. Good news is that it takes all C8 parts as a glove. LED inside is certainly a xml T6 (at least in one I got) on a 20mm aluminum star which sits a top of a hollow aluminum pill with no thermal paste. It's got a plastic smooth reflector. Anodization is impressive for this price and all parts sit perfectly with O-ring seals. Threads are very well made but not lubricated. It's got a 17mm no name driver. Highly recommended for a host!
