    The Official Zebralight Thread .

    Right, two separate observations here: 1) the ZL doesn't appear to be able to shed heat fast enough even in the 500 lumen range to maintain that output without stepping down. 2) even when enough cooling is provided, at around 500 lumens, the ZL manages just over 1 hour of constant output...

    The Official Zebralight Thread .

    Thanks for the runtime plot. According to this review: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?434921-Olight-H2R-review-(Headlamp-right-angle-18650-XHP50) the H2R with a NW XHP 50 emitter, manages 600 lumens for 2 hours and 40 minutes, albeit with a 3500 mAh GA instead of the 2507 mAh...

    Why you no longer own an HDS

    Christ! Nobody is asking him to overdrive them, but just for more output they can comfortably deliver while remaining well within the manufacturer's specs. So sick of hearing that defense and excuse. As for point 2, that's what multiple or variable outputs are for, so users have a choice in the...

    This leakage of light through the switch is unacceptable. Why did it not occur before and why is it happening now? Don't let standards drop, please.

    Why no P60 talk anymore?

    Lower quality components with more resistance. Poorer circuit design. Also limitations of linear drivers with 7135.

    Why no P60 talk anymore?

    True, but I can buy several different lights with different beam profiles at that price.

    Why no P60 talk anymore?

    I've lost interest in the P60 format because P60 driver development has stagnated; P60 drivers typically cannot match the output/efficiency of the typical buck, boost, or buck/boost drivers of production lights.

    Why is ArmyTek maligned or ignored in this Forum?

    When an Armytek light goes bad, it's unclear whether the cause is poor circuit design, low quality components, poor manufacturing, careless assembly, bad QC, or a combination of those factors. V2.5 Predator and Viking appear to be the peak for those models. The current gen Predator and Viking...

    Zebralight H600Fc Mk IV - First Impressions

    Regarding the spring...the Emisar D4 has a spring in its tailcap, and it draws many amps, more than ZLs do if I'm not mistaken, without problems. Why does ZL make it sound like no single spring is a viable alternative to the POGO pins?

    Why is ArmyTek maligned or ignored in this Forum?

    Definitely not useless when it warns of a nearly depleted cell, but until then, a flash of bright green every 5 seconds letting the user know the cell is good? Now that's useless.

    Zebralight H600Fc Mk IV - First Impressions

    Though I agree magnets on the clips are useful, I still wish in the future ZL would offer magnetic tailcaps interchangeable with the current ones.
