    How’s your Zebralight SC53 treating you?

    Thanks a million for all the thoughtful responses, everyone. It's made me think perhaps I should go with the SC5ii. Tyranny of choice.

    How’s your Zebralight SC53 treating you?

    Hey everyone, I’ve got my eye on an SC53Fc, but there’s surprisingly little written about it and very few real-life reviews here or on YouTube. I favor the small size for pocket carry vs. the SC5. Those of you who’ve got one—especially the Fc version—what’s the good and bad? Do you like it...

    Zebralight SC63 Question: Is a Hard Yellow Center Spot Normal?

    Many thanks for the comments and good advice, everyone. I returned the SC63 and opted for a SC600 Mark III HI instead, largely because of so many positive reviews here. I'm glad I did. The beam is very clean and well-balanced between spot and flood, with a beautiful, even tint from center to...

    Zebralight SC63 Question: Is a Hard Yellow Center Spot Normal?

    Here's a photo, which I darkened a touch to show what the beam looks like in real life. tops2, thanks for pointing me to Illumn.

    Zebralight SC63 Question: Is a Hard Yellow Center Spot Normal?

    I just received my SC63 and it's near perfect in most ways. Even anodizing, a well-centered LED, and a pleasing tint overall. But there's one thing that seems odd: In the dead center of the hot spot there's a distinct yellow spot that's plainly visible at all lumen levels, and even when I'm a...

    Zebralight SC63 Owners: Still Loving It?

    Thanks a million for all the responses, guys. Really helpful. I think I'm going to have to give this one a try. The S2 is also a really attractive light feature for feature, but the amazing runtimes and firefly lows on the SC63 are calling to me.

    Zebralight SC63 Owners: Still Loving It?

    Hi everyone, this is my first post after many years of reading CPF. I've learned a ton because of the wisdom and generosity of the members of this community, so let me start by saying thanks! An Olight S1 or Fenix E05 is in my pocket all the time and lately--probably because of you all--I've...
