Convoy C8 and M1 flashlights from Mountain Electronics with new firmware option

Mountain Electronics has the Convoy C8 and Convoy M1 back in stock and is now offering the guppydrv firmware as an option.

In my not so humble option the C8 and M1 are a couple of the best budget flashlights available. [They are my favorite flashlight hosts budget or otherwise, period]. The guppydrv firmware offers 22 different mode groups to choose from -- including from 1 to 5 modes, with and without disco modes, with and without memory -- starting from high or starting from low. There isn't every combination (that would be more than 22 :) but you'll likely find a few that you like. It also has very fast off time memory -- which is what you want whether you know it yet or not.

It's been frustrating not be able to point people towards favorite budget C8 and M1 flashlights without the favorite guppydrv to go along. So it's terrific that M.E. is offering it now.

BTW, people love a C8 with an HI emitter. So do I! But I have a regular emitter in a C8 too and I use it just as much as the HI version. A regular emitter in a C8 has pretty darned good throw and a good spill.

Anyone who wants something with more throw to complement their Convoy S series should leap on one of these M1 or C8 lights from M.E. The guppydrv firmware sets them apart from the stock Convoy lights found elsewhere.
