    Zebralight SC5 mk2 - great useless flashlight

    Hi guys! Rant mode, sorry. Just received my zebralight sc5 mk2. Everything is great about that light - UI, tint, size, weight, anodizing, etc. But i'm not going to use it - because of the knurling. It has a rockwell-60 hard file on the outside that is going to mess up everything that has...

    Hope R2i

    Hi everyone! Has anyone experience with the Hope R2i? I recently stumbled about this - knowing this company more for their quality bicycle parts. They are really good with cnc machining, made in UK, so i would expect this light to be high quality. http://www.hopetech.com/product/r2i-led/

    More reliable: electronic switch or clicky?

    I bought my previous computer mouse in 2004, I retired it in 2014. The click switches were still working flawless, the left mouse button accumulated an estimated 10-15 million clicks (average 4000 per day). I think electronic switches have the potential to last extremely long. But switching...

    Zebralight SC52 & SC52w

    I just received my SC52. I like it, but i am not overly impressed. The pocket clip is annoying and leaves a nasty exposed edge when removed. The ribs on the body make the light more slippery than any other light. Where is the clean, functional design of the SC600 gone?

    What high quality aspheric lights are out there?

    Hi folks! I still miss an aspheric light in my collection, but my requirements are decent/high quality construction and good regulation - and water resistance would be nice. There seem to be a few aspheric lights on the market, but i'm not sure about the quality. Are there any lights that you...

    Sad day

    Never borrow an expensive light to anyone - you either know that ahead or learn it the hard way. Pay for your lesson and move on.

    Surefire 6p conversion

    A 9P (or 6P with extender) has the required length for 2xAA. You would need a dropin that runs on 2-3V.

    New Zebralight S5310

    I dont like thermal regulation too. If i switch the light to 700lm, it should stay there - or shut down if thats not possible, but not degrade over time.

    ZebraLight SC600

    nope. The hightest mode (750lm) is one of the two 'high' modes, fixed. The other one is the one that can be changed between 200, 300 and 500 lm. I hope that helps.
