Please help me, or give me an idea!
I have several C8 Flashlights with a tactical switch where I have infused IR 980nm (invisible).
Can you tell me where to insert a small LED to light when the C8 is turned on?
I'll make a little hole or on the switch itself ...?
Please study or give me an idea.
waiting for your reply!
Thank you!

I've built a Convoy C8+, so I know there's plenty of room in the head.

How about the idea of using a CWF Customs Dragon Driver, which allows for three LEDs and two or three secondary XQE LEDs.
We purchase the LED MPCB's from Mtn Electronics, or from Charles/ CWF directly.

Basically, you can run the leads from the MPCB, and put the XQE anywhere you'd like. I'd suggest making a port on the side of the head, there is a big chamber there you can use.

Just drill a hole in the side and put a 3mm or 5mm led there. Put a small resistor on it and solder it parallel to ththe current LED so it is on at the same time. Really easy
