    Oh Professionals might need high CRI lights say doctors, but people buy things because they want it, not need it:naughty: And tint on the SC600 III HI is already better than that of vast majority of lights (6500K 70CRI) on the market.

    Been two years since my last post - happy to report that my H600FC IV is still going strong. Tint is actually still pleasant even when compared directly against my Wizard Pro Nichia. Have no complaint whatsoever. Looking forward to a ZL version of 144A headlamp though.

    Zebralight still the way to go for a AA headlamp?

    H53Fc still going strong after some 16 months, dropped from waist height to all sorts of materials with minimal ano chip. Not much difference on paper but "hand feel" is a lot smaller when compared to the already compact H600Fc MKIV, this thing is tiny. Tint lottery is the only complaint I have...

    Zebralight SC700d 21700 XHP70.2 90+CRI

    ZL has responded to this years ago saying that 1. Crees tint deviations are generally closer to the BBL than Nichias on paper(although we all know Nichias look better in real life since they go below the BBL line instead of above like the Crees do), 2. They found it to be hard to source good...

    Buying a light you'll hardly use

    Got myself a C8 ~6 months ago, clear ano with 5000K XPL-HI. Used it..once. :shrug: I intend to put a H32 in glovebox for emergency but then I realise I carry so many lights (D4vn, H600Fc MKIV, H53Fc) wherever I go it makes an emergency light obsolete. Maybe get the SC600Fd on glove box duty...

    If you are into throw, steer clear from the h604d as it is a mule light, clear lens + no reflector = 100% flood light. Out of the two the h600Fd has a great combination of throw and flood for a headlamp but it's still on the floody side, with the benefit of high CRI. If you prefer a traditional...

    Unfortunately none of ZL's 18650 MKIV lights have the 0.01lm moonlight mode that many people praise. As a SC62w owner I can say that the lowest low on my H600Fc MK IV (0.08lm) is visually a lot brighter than the 0.01 from my SC62w.

    Just got my H600Fc. 219C level tint albeit a tad creamy yellowish, not even joking here. Insanely pleasant tint without the Nichia pinkness. I wouldn't know it's a Cree if no one tells me. This stuff is good. Will post some signature TCY comparison shots later!

    Zebralight SC64c (XP-L2) measurements or "why 2-step means squat"

    Re: Zebralight SC64c (XP-L2) measurements or "why 2-step means squat&amp Thanks a lot maukka, awesome as always.Looks like Cree is sending out lemons to buyers who pay a hefty premium and hopes to get away with it. Fortunately while the XP-L2 on my H53Fc still produces a...

    Will do when I get it. Don't have a III on hand but I do have a D4vn with 4000K 219C so I can do a Cree vs Nichia comparison maybe. Tint & CRI wise we know the Nichia would win but Based on my experience with the H53Fc I bet the H600Fc MKIV would do well to.

    Hats off to DHL though. Picked up my new light at 3:12pm, 24th AU time, processed through AU DHL facility & custom cleared at 3:29am, 26th. If Friday is not Australia day the light would be delivered in less than 40 hours, almost 8,000 km across the globe.

    H600Fc IV pre-ordered on 31/10, shipped 24/01.. damn that's a long wait. What's worst is that It has arrived on Aus on the 26th but it's Australia day so gotta wait till the 29th. Good thing I got a shiny Convoy C8 clear HI to play with.
