I received zl h603w, I love a wide beam 120 degree, it's amazing, except this light dont have pocket clip

 

[tompen41]

The SC32W is available again on their site. Just got one shipped..........

"d" means higher CRI, tint within a smaller variance (3 vs 5 Macadam Ellipse ) and neutral white (5000K) tint.

I'd grab the Fd over regular F all day every day.

Thanks

I'm waiting for the SC600W HI to have G6 and G7 programming. I'll buy it when they release it

Yea that gap between M and H modes is too much. Luckily I primarily use the H modes on this light as a mini thrower, but the G6 and G7 will be very welcomed.

Yep, although they got that gap right on the SC5c MK II.

That has been my biggest critical point when it comes to 600 series: while the H modes compared to AA powered series are very much increased due to higher battery capacity the L and M are practically the same. This results in a too big difference between the M and H modes. M1 should be at least 100-150lm.

Anyway SC600 MK III is an awesome light and I will not get rid of it without a serious improvement is offered.

Looks like they added a new SC600w IV Plus, Cree XHP50.2, listed with 2440 max lumens, yet not released: 2017/10.

I can't wait till I have in my hands that SC600w IV HI with the new UI!

Headlamps are up now

Looks like they're just driving the XHP35 a little harder. Probably not worth it at all, unless they have a new driver that's way more efficient, or a new body that makes a better beam (for the non floody models). Multiple UI groups is cool, but I already really like the old Zebralight UI.


My SC600 MK3 HI has a tint that I cherry-picked among 3 different units, I wouldn't want to do that again with the MK4 considering the small increase in output.

 

[markr6]

Yeah I love my SC600 HI, but always bothered by that jump from M1 to H2 or whatever I set. This IV is the answer! Rolling dice on the tint though.

 

[emarkd]

May not even be that. Could be they were just able to source a higher flux bin emitter from Cree this time around. It's been a year since the last one, after all. So it could be the exact same light but with a different emitter bin and flashed with the new firmware. Maybe.

Personally I'm this close to considering the extra UI groups a killer feature. The reason is that whenever I give my SC600 to somebody, they inevitably turn it on on High and dazzle themselves and everyone around when in the vast majority of cases they would've wanted a Mid or a Low. If I tell them they need to hold the button for Low, they either release it too quick and dazzle themselves again, or skip to Mid and, in their confusion, to High, again. So whenever I am at some kind of hiking trip or some other outside get-together with other people, I'd rather prefer a simpler, more beginner-friendly UI that would start at M1 (which is the most frequently used mode in my light anyway).

Nobody gets my Zebralights to borrow...for several reasons!

+1. This is blasphemy! An infidel shall never touch the sacred...

I've wanted a ZL for a while and the new ui is what finally sold me on an H53c. I have G6 and 7 set up for short click to moonlight, long press medium, double click high. G7 is set up as a low group. It's nice not having to worry about my son blinding himself on accident.

Can someone post a beam shot of the sc53c vs another light? I'm interested in the sc64C and I never had a high cri light.

It is not exactly what you asked for, but perhaps the Zebralight SC5c II vs Zebralight SC51 and Nitecore MT1A is close enough?

Camera settings: ISO 200, White Balance = "Fluorescent".

More beamshots here, here and SC5c II vs SC53w here
