My OCD won't let me be at peace sooooo i've modded all my ZL's to 90CRI standard.

SC5c II - shaved 351D 5000K to match ~4500K and rosy like 219B
SC64w HI - 90CRI XHP35 4500K
SC600w HI - 90CRI XHP35 5000K
SC64 - 90CRI XHP35 5700K
SC64c LE - 90CRI 219C 5700K

I doubt they'll do it but you never know.
XHP35 gen1 is now discontinued and maybe that's the reason they don't have any new model recently. XHP35.2 is still hard to reach.
These emitters i have were taken from other flashlights, mostly Olights :)

Were you able to remove the bezels easily, w/ damaging the lens or bezel? What kind of tools did you use?

Taking an emitter from an Olight to put into any other light is the funniest thing I've read all week.

I find it interesting because the #1 complaint about Olight has always been concerning their chosen emitters.

Glad you found success in using them.

So sorry for missunderstanding folks...
These 90CRI emitters were taken from previously modded Olights (M2R and M2RP).
Olight stock emitters were flushed down the toilet.
After having side by side O's and ZL, wow and edc factor goes straight to ZL. That's why Olight was stripped from these emitters and they are running ZL's stock LED's. [emoji23]

I cracked one lens but a friend of mine has a watch shop so he got me one saphire replacement lens.
On SC64w HI and SC64 there are some tiny marks on the bezel ring cause i was opening them twice (!!!!i couldn't decide which emitter goes where!!!).
Other than that no issues or other damages.

Follow-up question: which ones are you keeping and are your favorite? SC64w HI for EDC I assume.

Is Zebralight's site encrypted and secure or not?
On 4/22/21, Zebralight's site showed that two flashlights I had been waiting for were back in stock -- the SC64w HI and the SC600w IV Plus.
But when I went to check out, my softwear showed that the site was not secure and that a third-party could capture my information.
The site read "http" instead of the customary "https" to indicate that it was encrypted.
I wrote ZL customer service and asked why the site wasn't secure and when would it be safe to check out.
I received no immediate response, not that I expected one that quickly.
Later that evening, I checked again and this time the site showed "https," indicating that it was now encrypted and secure.
I placed my order, paying with PP so I wouldn't risk using a credit card.
Still later that evening, I checked a third time and now the site was back to showing "http," indicating that it was once again not secure.
I'm not sure what's going on and I pass this on for your information.

For me, when I go to my account page or the checkout page it shows a secure connection. However, when I look at the product listings it shows an insecure page.

For me, it showed not secure the first half-dozen or so times I tried to check out and pay. So I backed up and refused to finish until later that day when the "https" returned.

I checked again today (4/23/21) in checkout mode and the "https" is gone and I'm once again getting a warning that the site is not secure.

Zebralight has now responded in a message that says, "We'll take a look at this."

Seems like the "Proceed to Checkout" link doesn't always go correctly to the secure checkout page.
I ordered a SC64w HI today without issue. Better grab one before they go out of stock again. :)
Let us know when you get it please. Because it is possible that xhp35.2 will be installed. I saw on reddit one post about h600 with xhp35.2.

Oh, interesting, I guess I'll find out. As long as it's a HI and not a HD it should be ok?

ZL lists the SC600w IV HI as discontinued and unavailable.
Is it available anywhere?
What do you recommend as an alternative?
How different is the SC600w III HI?
