    nice. i've seen it compared to 219b sw45k d200. have you had any lights with that emitter? stupid question because there's plenty of tint and cct variation out there, but how do you think it compares? i just got my hands on a sc64c LE, and i can't decide if i want to do another 519a 3500K DD or...

    Only 5 lights.

    sc64c LE (mod: 519a 3500K dedomed) – EDC (warmer, rosy) sc64w HI (mod: higher cri) – alt EDC (cooler, neutral, higher output) h600w mk4 – everyday headlamp for task lighting or outdoor activities (hiking, cycling, etc) sc700d – nightstand light BLF LT1 – lantern (used 2–3x/year) i only have 6...

    i think modding customer lights (especially ones not in like-new condition) increases the risk of customer dissatisfaction. not a huge risk, and ZLs "only" cost ~100USD, but still.

    Border Patrol misusing lights

    wait, so tonk is basically onomatopoeia for bonking someone on the head with a maglite? and then it was retconned into Temporarily Outside Native Country (TONC)? lol... sigh never heard tonk/tonc until today, but i don't really follow this kind of news.

    is it possible to dump the ZL fw from their µC? i know some have 'anti dumping' rom protection, and i'm guessing ZL uses that if offered, but sometimes that can be defeated. i wonder if A6 could be upgraded to the full fw or something lol

    at the end of the day, it's just easier for him. e.g. if something goes wrong with the mod, he can just grab another new light from his inventory and work it out later instead of having to have an unnecessary conversation with the customer.

    idk if it's actually a sim connector, but it sure looks like one. that's why i call it that. yes

    does their 'sim card' cathode contact actually crush batteries? i have not observed that yet, and i have been EDCing one for some time now. some of their other contact types definitely do, though. i have two collections of cells: crushed and non-crushed. i only use the non-molested cells on...

    here's my review of the new A6. spare o-ring was not included, so it gets an automatic 1/10 A6 it comes with an NCR18650GA included in the $52 price :) anode contact: spring cathode contact: "sim card" just like newer sc64 and sc65, i think. its anodization seems nice. i don't get the...

    i agree. if you don't have any driver issues, and you like the color temp, i think it's one of ZL's most compelling stock offerings ever. no need to mod it.
