Well guys I am now a believer! Carried my new SC64w today at work. Carried just fine. The new stiff black clip works well and seem to ease up a little on the tightness after taking it on and off the pocket lip a few times but it's still very strong. My earlier concerns with the heat is no longer an issue. I just have it start in H2 (875) and if I "need" more I can simply double click. I am finding the default setup otherwise just perfect for me. I use the medium and H2 more than anything. I LOVE the UI!!!!!!!!!!!!! I find the "hold and ramp through modes" very natural and FUN to use. I am a convert and now I think I'm gonna order it's big brother the new SC600 plus!

Yep, the ZL UI is quite amazing in it's well thought out versatility, and the form factor of the SC64w is just perfect for an EDC work light.

I go back and forth between my SC62w and my SC600 series lights all the time. Of course the SC6x series is thinner, and practically disappears in the pocket, but the SC600 series light's extra mass let's me run at a higher level without getting hot as quickly as the smaller SC6x series, so as usual, it's a trade-off as to which one I decide to carry. Usually, I'll carry the SC62w if I have a day job that might go into the evening, and I'll carry the SC600 if I have a night job where I know I'll need the extra output.

I'll be interested to hear if, like many ZL users, you find the extreme LOW level outputs to be just as useful as the higher outputs. The ability to quickly and easily match the light level to whatever task is at hand is one of ZL's great strengths.

In any case, enjoy your new light.

Yes cells can get a little warm(sometimes quite warm with a higher charge rate ).

Slightly off topic but this is the first time I've messed with unprotected 18650s...the red cells from ZL -on my Xtar VP1 -they get a little warmer than my protected cells do around the middle of the charging cycle...not hot but a little warm. This is normal -yes?

That's a good question. This is also my first time using those red unprotected highdrain cells supplied by ZL. I imagine warm is ok, but you might get a quicker answer over on the "Flashlight Electronics-Batteries Included" forum.

Edit: Oh, I see ven answered our question. Thanks mate : )

Just got shipping notification for SC64c (China to Norway).

Awesome, what was your order number if you don't mind me asking? Hopefully mine will ship soon too.

Thank you sir. I was about 15 orders before you so hopefully my shipping notice is coming soon as well. I paid for the fastest DHL shipping option. Did you just order the SC64c with this order? I have to say, I am not real happy about ZL shipping orders that were placed after mine first. Most companies ship in the order orders are received from my experience.

Most companies don't update their whole model lineup at the same time so it should be understandable that not every model is ready at the same time in quantities that will enable all orders to ship.

My guess is you either ordered more than one model and they don't have them all ready to ship or you ordered a model that (whilst you ordered before others) is not ready to ship, unlike the models requested by those who placed their order after yours. Hope that makes sense..

The models I ordered are both shipping and ready now. Hopefully I will get a shipping notice soon as I was one of the first to place a pre-order.

I ordered this, and separately ordered an SC600Fc a few days later. Also want two headlamps, but given the price, that it's my first time ordering from Zebralights directly, and that the ship dates for the headlamps is later, I figured those can wait.

Did you order anything else at the same time? My guess is that'd be the reason, if another item is delaying it. Or custom requests in order comments etc.

I probably should have placed my pre-orders separately too as I would already have a light to tide me over then. It would have been nice if ZL would have emailed me to say one is ready and asked if I wanted it to ship now.

I ordered the SC64c and SC600w MKIV Plus(XHP50.2). So, now that they are both shipping(the Plus has been shipping for a while) I hope to get a shipping notice soon, especially because I paid for the most expensive shipping method. Hopefully ZL is just picking me ones with amazing tints.

I did the expensive shipping twice. Both times it was a fail. Never again.

What do you mean fail? And, what models did you order?

Yeah that sucks. I cancelled an order recently. Was quoted 2 weeks and a month later my light still hadn't shipped. I guess they are just flat out and missed orders happen. Have you contacted them?

Email them with you order #. There were instances where they set the expensive shipping orders aside for shipping priority but ended up forgetting about it. Happened to me once, they refunded my DHL money.

Not yet, I am trying to be patient. Hopefully I will get a shipping notice soon. I will post when I do.

Hopefully that didn't happen this time. I will give them some time but, if I don't get a shipping notice in a while I will contact them and ask what's going on. I try to be patient with these things because I know pre-orders are an uncertain thing but, it gets frustrating when you see people that ordered after you getting shipping notices. Not to mention, they didn't contact me when the SC600w MKIV Plus was done to ask if I wanted mine shipped even though my order was placed less then 15 min after the pre-order opened. Well, hopefully I will just get an email soon and can tell you guys they are on their way.

 

[Tixx]

I no longer know what they were. People with regular shipping where getting theirs when mine had not shipped. I ordered 1 light, not multiple models, each time.

That's the sign of contacting them... they ship orders based on order#.
