I pre-ordered one. The site now lists it as backordered. They have runtimes now. This is my first zebralight, so I have a few questions:
1)Any word on delivery? I can't wait to test it out, the sooner the better.
2)Also, what are the zebralight runtime curves usually like?
3)I have some white eneloops. Is it worth going with the pros?
I look forward to adding it to my small collection (Surefire e2d, prometheus beta qrv2 brass, x-light micro). Thanks to los aficionados!
1. Depends on where you live. on ZL's website, click the little "free shipping" icon and it will bring up a table showing typical delivery times to major countries.
2. All ZL lights are fully regulated iirc, which means all brightness levels except those with PID should be putting out the specified lumens for the specified amount of time without stepping down e.g. the H2b level of SC5c Mk II puts out 236 lumens for 1.5 hours as per specified on ZL product page.
Notice that ZL states "Remaining battery power, about 10-20%, after step-down are not counted towards the runtimes" which means in this case the SC5c can still work on lower modes until the battery is fully depleted.
3. Your non-pro Eneloops have 2,000 mAh capacity whereas the pro version has 2,550. ZL tests their runtimes with the pro version so if you are using the non-pros, runtimes are going to be a tad bit shorter for you. Personally I would stick with what I have but if you'd like to enjoy the glorious runtimes specified by ZL, go for it :thumbsup:
