I had an sc52w, loved it, but gave it away when I realized the PWM-like schema was giving me headaches when I used it as a room lamp for long periods as the only light source.
I have had an sc62c for a long time. The tint is fantastic, wonderful for night photography, outdoor colors look better than they really are, saturated browns and reds. I showed it to my neighbor, and he loved it, while dissing my incans. But I could not give it up, especially because I can tell he is not mature or responsible enough for 18650s, even with a light like this that will never kill a Li-ion.
I have been eyeing the SC5c MkII since it appeared. I loved the old clip, though it is crazy tight and destroys pants... hate the new clip, even before seeing it first hand. I read about the greenish cast tint complaints. I was hoping it would come down in price a little. I just pulled the plug on it from gpknives for $58. I will brave the PWM-like effects, and be wary.
I bought 2, one for the neighbor. He is a total **** narcissist, but I nearly ruined his birthday, and he is my neighbor, and he has been decent for the last few months. My lawn guy just sprayed his side with clippings yesterday, call it karma, and the neighbor freaked out, made me laugh* all day. But the neighbor cleaned it up without more grief. Gifts are without strings attached, but I do hope he appreciates it and lightens up, no pun intended. We live in a really dark place in the sticks. I'll be pleased to not see him messing around in the dark with his dumb android phone. Non-flashaholics are so quaint.
*I am not a cruel person, schadenfreude is not my thing and I believe it is wrong, anti-Golden Rule. I like to think I am honest to a fault, but I could not be that good... every single person lies every day. Long story I won't tell, but the neighbor has been abusing me for a long time with smoke from his fires, definitely intentional, but also spraying my car with his grass clippings every time he mows, and shooting pinecones to my side and hitting my car with them... while I am in the car (I don't have lawn furniture, tailgate in the car instead). What can you do when someone does that? Nothing. As soon as you open your mouth, you sound like an idiot... so I never said anything, gotta give me that. Took me 2 years to realize he has a personality disorder, and I know exactly what it is, covert narcissism... the passive aggressiveness gives it away. He needs therapy, could be completely cured in less than 2 years just sitting down with a guy twice a month for 30 minutes, but it is the type of disorder that is rarely treated because one of the symptoms is an inability or unwillingness to recognize something is wrong, thus whole lives are spent repeating the same destructive patterns. I am really expecting no changes here.
Epilogue: neighbor refused the gift! "I am not a willing participant in this exchange." No exchange, just a gift. I have subsequently gifted it to a college buddy, who was very excited about it, and grateful.
