    HORRIBLE ZEBRALIGHT TX CUSTOMER SERVICE On Lost New Order

    Placed an order with Zebralight Texas and it has been an awful experience, with lost package (tracking showed delivered to local USPS with no further updates 10 days ago), terrible responsiveness and bad customer service. Packages can get lost, errors happen, but it's how businesses deal with...

    Best Responsible Resellers for Zebralight With Great Customer Service?

    Moderator, this is not a jeer, though ZL definitely deserves one for being unresponsive and totally unhelpful. It's a legitimate request for good reliable resellers for Zebralight. Would Brightguy.com qualify as a reliable reseller? Any others? Appreciate any suggestions.

    New Headlamp: Armytek Tiara A1 v2 XP-L vs Zebralight H53W or Other? 14500/AA or 18650

    Happy holidays and best wishes for 2018. I generally prefer the higher lumens of the W models over the C models. High CRI is nice for certain applications in daytime, but at night what's the benefit of slightly higher CRI? 1) Anyone try the H600W Mk IV? How is the UI? 2) Is it currently...

    Trail Runners, Fastpackers & Urban Runners, What Lamps Do You Use?

    Center Hotspot+Flood or Flood? Re: Trail Runners, Fastpackers & Urban Runners Up to now I've always used headlamps that have a center hotspot + peripheral flood, for a combination of punch in the center for distance and flood for peripheral vision, as I found earlier floody lamps didn't...

    Good Smart Battery Chargers which can charge at least 4 batteries at a time?

    Thank you. 1) I'm seeing the BTC 3400 v3.1 - is that the same as the BT 3400 v3.1? 2) The BTC 3400 v3.1 is listed at double the cost of the XTAR VC4, and because the XTAR VC4 is USB, it can be used with a USB car charger. Is there any reason to get a BTC 3400 v3.1 over the XTAR VC4? 3) Which...

    New Headlamp: Armytek Tiara A1 v2 XP-L vs Zebralight H53W or Other? 14500/AA or 18650

    Re: Recommended 18650 Zebralight & Armytek for backpacking? Which batts & charger? Tint, UI, beam pattern and run time matter to me. I don't care about max lumens and rarely use the highest settings and if I do it's very brief. I'm wondering in practice how much of a difference I'd notice...

    New Headlamp: Armytek Tiara A1 v2 XP-L vs Zebralight H53W or Other? 14500/AA or 18650

    How much of a % difference in run times would you expect for running a W at a comparable lumen level to a C? If we are talking single percentage points (say 1-5% more run time), that's negligible, if we are talking double digits (say 20-30% more run time), that's significant. Are there any...

    New Headlamp: Armytek Tiara A1 v2 XP-L vs Zebralight H53W or Other? 14500/AA or 18650

    Thank you Keitho. Could you please elaborate? Do you mean that the higher CRI and warmer tints extra heat will cause the unit to drain faster in still air? How would this bring about longer runtimes except in cold winter air?

    Good Smart Battery Chargers which can charge at least 4 batteries at a time?

    Chris, thank you very much. The number of choices is quite overwhelming. Friends also mentioned the Nitecore Intellicharger i4 and powerex MH-C9000 and Panasonic BQ-CC65. I should say that looking for 2 models: a) a home-use model that will charge at least 4 batteries at the same time (and it...

    Re: Recommended 18650 Zebralight & Armytek for backpacking? Which batts & charger? Thank you iamlucky13, didn't know that, very helpful. 1) I'll check the spreadsheet terjee posted below, but in general, is there a tradeoff in lumens or runtime for higher CRI? So for example, would the...

    Good Smart Battery Chargers which can charge at least 4 batteries at a time?

    What are your recommendations for good quality good value smart chargers that can handle a mix of at least 4 batteries, AA and AAA, with different starting charge levels? Are there any that can also handle a mix of AA, AAA and 18650 at the same time? I'm just as interested in value - if a $30...
