    Zebralight H600Fd MKIV XHP50.2 problem?

    I found this thread about flickering: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?443856-Defective-zebralight-H600FD-MK-IV My light exhibits the flickering as well. Flickering + low output leads me to believe that there is a problem with the electronics. I tried G6 mode and it did the...

    Zebralight H600Fd MKIV XHP50.2 problem?

    I have a Nitecore P12GT that works fine with the batteries. Orbtronic seems to be GTG in the battery forum and the seller is Orbtronic.

    Zebralight H600Fd MKIV XHP50.2 problem?

    I just picked up a H600Fd MKIV High CRI. I'm using Orbtronic 18650 flat tops. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YLUWE6I/?tag=cpf0b6-20 Stuck the battery in and H1 is not very bright. I tried programming H2 and when cycling through H2, I can not discern any visible difference in the first two...

    Fenix PD35 TAC VS Nitecore P12GT

    I picked a P12GT, although not for pocket carry. I don't have a PD35, but I do have another Fenix light. Tactical mode is most definitely not tactical. My P12GT does have a delay between pressing the switch and the light coming on. But, the only way I can perceive the delay is if I am...

    Help with ZL/headlamp

    Kind of related, but Surefire use to sell a headband that did what you are thinking of. It held a 6P on the side of your head.

    Recommendations for 2xAA (durable/minimal UI, conservative power)

    Why specifically two AA batteries? Zebralights show up here a lot for a reason, but they are usually 1 AA or 18650.

    Surefire X300 Ultra

    Umm... Ok? The X300 is a weaponlight. The Fury is the handheld equivalent.

    Surefire X300 Ultra

    The packaging doesn't say anything about being submersible. It just has the weatherproof icon.

    Surefire X300 Ultra

    Ok I seem to have misplaced my primary cell carrier for the R1... so I had to use the Li-Ion battery which is supposed to be 750 lumens. Ambient X300 Ultra R1 Lawmen (750 lumens) Ultra on left, R1 on right. Photo is slightly deceptive because the green shed is about 10 ft closer...

    Surefire X300 Ultra

    I have a Surefire R1 that is supposed to be 500 when using the primary cell carrier that I can do that with.

    Surefire X300 Ultra

    Yes, no idea on the rechargeables. 1.5 hrs until output drops below 50 lumens, but no runtime graph.

    Surefire X300 Ultra

    Spill is the same, just a little brighter. It is pretty much just a brighter X300.

    Surefire X300 Ultra

    The tint is ever so slightly warmer than my X300. I've shot out to 100 yards with my X300 and M600C. I haven't taken the Ultra out, but I would estimate that its would be good for at least 125 yards.

    Surefire X300 Ultra

    The beam pattern is almost identical to the X300. The hotspot looks bigger because it is brighter. It does throw noticeably further than the X300.

    Surefire X300 Ultra

    It is now available and I got mine in! The bezel is different, but the body is the same. The Ultra does get noticeably warm very quickly (within 15 seconds). X300 on left, Ultra on right Ambient light X300 X300 Ultra X300 on left, Ultra on right
