I would agree with Aod on that emitter in the C8, khan.
Here is the one you should have bought! The XM-L version

This C8 drives the XM-L hard. Many buyers of the above light are pulling over 3amps from their 18650 cell. Combine that with the reflector of the C8 means it will throw further any P60 XM-L drop-in equivalent.
It isn't all bad though khan, the small surface size of the emitter in your C8 means it will throw a smaller concentration of light further!
I say if you are going to buy the XM-L C8, then buy it now. KD and DX have had a nasty habit of changing drivers sooner or later. There have been times in the past where they end up sourcing the light with a different (crap!) driver which doesn't drive the emitter anywhere near what it is capable of.
You will love the L2P khan, while being a quality budget host it also opens up doors to upgrades.
On a different subject my cheapie DX AA Trustfire R5-A3 XP-G has arrived. Quite impressed really.. will try and get some sort of a review up in the next couple of days.
There is something very appealing about lights which are only powered by a single AA battery
