⚙️ Config Mode Structure:
Once you're in config mode, the flashlight uses flashes to guide your selection (since it has no screen). Here's how it works:
✅ Option 1: Select Mode Group
- The light flashes once normally, then buzzes once (flash + buzz = Option 1)
- Tap the switch during this sequence to enter mode group selection
Then it will begin flashing up to 12 times, each count representing a different group. Tap during the flash count to select your group:
| Flash Count | Mode Group Contents |
|---|---|
| 1 Flash | 0.1%, 1%, 10%, 35%, 100%, Strobe, Biking, Battery-check |
| 2 Flashes | 0.1%, 1%, 10%, 35%, 100% |
| 3 Flashes | 100%, 35%, 10%, 1%, 0.1% |
| 4 Flashes | 1%, 20%, 100%, Strobe, Biking, Battery-check, SOS |
| 5 Flashes | 1%, 20%, 100% |
| 6 Flashes | 100%, 20%, 1% |

🔁 Option 2: Toggle Mode Memory

Customer Reviews
Haven’t had any experience with the convoy c8+. This is a great little 18650 light, l love it. Dom took care of installing the lighted switch in all 3 of them with no problems. I strongly recommend the c8+ to anyone looking at one. Thanks Dom,
This flashlight has such a far throw. Wow. Didn't expect such a far throw from this flashlight. It is a very fun light but can also be useful in certain situations like camping, hiking, outdoors type of stuff. I compared it with my acebeam L35 version 2 and it beat the Acebeam by double the amount in throw but I really like the Acebeam L35 because it has good throw and it has a big flood area as well. Either way I actually am glad I decided to buy this flashlight to try it out, it definitely has a wow factor and is fun to play with. Also got an illuminated switch to go with it and like it very much. This is the throw flashlight everybody should have at least one because it is budget friendly compared to other thrower flashlights on the market. Also this is the place to get it because very fast shipping and awesome customer service. Very satisfied. Going to attach a photo of the C8+ colored Red with the illuminated blue switch next to the engraved S2+ from this same shop. Both very awesome flashlights.
