The Sofirn C8L takes the proven C8 thrower platform and brings it into the modern era with updated internals, improved driver electronics, and USB-C charging. It pushes more output than the C8G while maintaining the focused throw that made the C8 series popular.
The 21700 battery provides ample energy for the improved emitter and driver, and five modes cover basic brightness control. The aluminum body keeps the familiar C8 form factor that's been a flashlight community favorite.
At $28, the C8L is the version to get if you want the C8 experience with modern upgrades. It improves on the C8G in output and efficiency while keeping the same affordable price class. A worthy evolution of a classic design.
