C8+ vs EDC2-DFT: how they differ
Size and weight
The Convoy C8+ is the shorter light: 142 mm (5.59 in) against 150 mm (5.91 in), a difference of 8 mm (5%). At its widest point the SureFire EDC2-DFT is 12.5 mm slimmer (32 vs 44.5 mm). Weights are published on different bases (Convoy C8+: 145 g listed; SureFire EDC2-DFT: 159 g listed), so they are not directly comparable.
Brightness and throw
The SureFire EDC2-DFT is rated at 700 lm; we have no published maximum for the Convoy C8+. Output for the Convoy C8+ depends on the LED option chosen.
Battery
Both run on a removable 18650 battery, so spare cells work in either light.
Price
When we checked on Nov 4, 2026, the Convoy C8+ was from $24.99 at flashlightgo.com and the SureFire EDC2-DFT from $287.00 at batteryjunction.com, so the Convoy C8+ cost $262.01 less. Prices change often, so check the current price before you buy.
Type
Both are EDC lights in our catalog with a tube body.
Which should you buy?
Choose the Convoy C8+ if you want a shorter light (8 mm shorter). Choose the SureFire EDC2-DFT if you want a slimmer profile (12.5 mm narrower). We compare published size, weight, output, throw and battery only, not runtime, interface or build quality.
