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.

The H53Fc uses the same LED so it would be a suitable point of reference.

Cobraman502 · Oct 14, 2017

Thanks for the beam shots guys not sure if I will go with the sc64C as it's 4000k seems a little low on the temp. I have the SC52w right now and I really like that. I think it's 4500k. Might go for the sc64w instead. Is the extra cri worth it. You guys happy with the sc53c?

If some infidel which is aware of my flashlight hobby ask me to lend out a flashlight I have a few budget lights in my collection who could be used for that purpose.

I own three ZLs. If the new UI allows me to get rid of the very annoying 0.6 sec timing requirement to get into LOW from OFF, then I can see a SC64 or SC64w in my future, as long as the tint is decent.

It absolutely will. That's how I have mine set up, single click to low. Something I dislike about the old ui is the high flash while double clicking to medium. This can be removed by setting the double click as your high settings. Really, the old ui is very good, and many like it as is. The new ui solves a lot of issues many people had by making it fully customizable. I think it was an excellent and intelligent compromise on ZL's part.

I'm kicking myself for selling mine. They need a new UI model and a bump in lumens wouldn't hurt. Maybe some day.

Thanks for the information.

I was hoping the new UI would fix someone the issues I was facing, looks like it will.

Setting single click to Low is what eliminates the double-click High flash.

I was reading the 40 page thread about the SC63 and Sc63w, and came across this post from markr6 which I think is a good description of the XHP35 tint lottery

It's not just blue vs. yellow. If you get a "yellow" tint, you got screwed. I had two SC63w lights and one was literally yellow, one was neutral. It's just the variance in LEDs from Cree. Unfortunately a lottery; are you lucky or not?

Whether you like cool or neutral is a personal preference, but there's really 4 scenarios:

Cool with bad tint: blue/purple crap
Cool with good tint: pure white with a cooler feel to it
Neutral with bad tint: yellow or green
Neutral with good tint: pure white with a warmer feel, maybe a slight pinkish or tan hue (in a good way)

I always hear of bad green tint on neutral white lights, but I've only seen green (as well as blue and purple) on my cool white lights. Then again I've only had about 50-60 lights, a far lower sample than others here.. When my neutral lights are bad they are very yellow. A little yellow is fine, a little magenta is great, pure white is Also great. Any blue, purple, or green at all is terrible, IMO.

I've yet to see a Cree domed LED in a reflector not give a greenish corona and purplish spill, no matter its color temperature (or CRI or closeness to the bbl). The HI emitters interact with the reflectors differently, so the tint difference from hotspot to spill is greatly mitigated. As a result you'll get an average color throughout the entire beam, but you're still subject to the lottery.

I forgot about this. The best example of a green neutral was my SC52w...so green it was delegated to car duty. Within a week or so it was stolen out of my car!! I honestly didn't care about that as much as my GPS, some cash and knife that was taken.

I still have my other SC52w, which is a nice neutral. It's a keeper!

Speaking of the UI, seriously I'd like to capability to set 100 Lu in medium.

TCY · Oct 23, 2017

ZL plans to release H600Fd/c MKIV and H604d/c with XHP50.2 in "a few months". It's a darn long wait period but I'll skip the flashlight version and wait.

You should be able to roger, you can select any of the levels to a medium setting with the new UI, might not be bang on 100lm but it will be close.

Excellent. Looks like I won't be able to resist the XHP 50.2 offering, which the new UI complements nicely.

FYI from Zebralight sales

We'll start to take pre-orders of Mk 4 generation 18650 lights right before the end of this month.
