Convoy C8 SST40 18650 Torch

The Convoy C8 SST40 is a high-performance, compact flashlight designed for outdoor enthusiasts, emergency preparedness, and everyday carry. Built with precision and durability in mind, this torch delivers powerful illumination with intelligent thermal management and flexible user interface options. Whether you're hiking through dense woods, navigating urban environments at night, or preparing for unexpected power outages, the C8 SST40 offers reliable, consistent performance.

At the heart of the C8 SST40 is the premium SST40 LED, renowned for its exceptional brightness, efficient light output, and high lumen density. Paired with a smooth reflector, the beam is focused and even, providing a balanced combination of throw and flood. The reflector design ensures minimal light spill while maintaining a clear, sharp beam pattern—ideal for long-distance visibility without sacrificing close-range clarity.

One of the standout features is the intelligent driver system with built-in temperature management. The driver automatically regulates current output to ensure the flashlight never exceeds 55°C, preventing overheating during extended use. When the internal temperature is below 55°C, the torch delivers full power. If it rises above this threshold, the driver dynamically reduces current to maintain safe operating temperatures—ensuring long-term reliability and extended lifespan.

The C8 SST40 is available in two distinct user interface (UI) configurations, allowing users to choose between simplicity and advanced control:

4-Mode Simple UI: Ideal for beginners or users who prefer straightforward operation. This mode offers four fixed brightness levels—0.1%, 3%, 30%, and 100%—with no flicker or strobing. The driver ensures stable output across all modes and includes automatic current adjustment to prevent overheating. No complex settings or flashing sequences required—just turn it on and use it.

12-Group Customisable UI: Designed for advanced users who want full control over their lighting experience. This mode allows access to 12 different mode groups, each with unique combinations of brightness levels, strobe, biking mode, SOS, and battery check. Mode selection is done via quick taps: tap the switch 20 times rapidly to enter configuration mode. Each option is selected by tapping during the corresponding flash pattern, making it intuitive once learned. This level of customisation lets you tailor the flashlight to your specific needs—whether you're searching in low light, signaling in emergencies, or needing precise control in tactical situations.

Additionally, the C8 SST40 is available with two color temperature options:

• 5000K – a neutral white light ideal for general use and reading.
• 6500K – a cooler, daylight-like white for enhanced visibility in bright or low-light conditions.

Powered by a single 18650 lithium battery, the C8 SST40 delivers consistent performance with efficient power usage. The battery compartment uses a standard spring and contact design, ensuring secure fit and reliable electrical connection. Battery status is indicated via a simple flash system: 1 flash = <2.95V, 2 flashes = 2.95–3.25V, and so on, up to 5 flashes = >3.85V, helping users monitor battery health at a glance.

Whether you're a casual user who values ease of use or a seasoned outdoor professional who demands precision and customisation, the Convoy C8 SST40 delivers exceptional performance, durability, and smart design—all in a compact, lightweight package.
