Got my shipping notice today. Can't wait to compare with 62D and L11C Nichia version in a couple days.

We should not compare H600F mark 2 vs. mark 3. We should compare mark 3 vs. SC62 because of... They 1x18650 & CRI = 85? Any other similarities? They are both at least headlamps? -No.
High CRI - is a relative concept, no need to separate such flashlights to an independent kind.
The LG cells have flatter discharge curves than the standard Panasonics which potentially means maximum levels could be maintained for longer.
- Operating Voltage Range: 2.7V - 6.0V
- Battery: One 18650 size (up to 69mm long) 3.6V-4.35V li-ion rechargeable.
It wasn't written there 12 hours ago! Good news! I like it!
Damn copy paste...
LOL! We have a sleeper...someone here works for ZL. We'll never know who
I'm still waiting for them to send me a package containing an SC62 with Nichia 219 and a note that says "Here you go...now shut the hell up about good tints"
That's not ZL's problem. CR123A has much lower discharge rates usually 1 or 1.5 amperes. Of course it's going to have less punch.2x CR123A is great to have. and i don't think 4.35v is what they meant by "wider". 0.15v isn't even noteworthy but knowing zebralight they'd probably throttle down the power when in 2x CR123A mode...
Philips does have a comparable LED, the Luxeon M, which is a quad just like the XM-L2 EasyWhite.I have to disagree. It should be compared to the high CRI versions of their lights since this is what it is designed for. Their previous series of lights that were high CRI used the Philips Luxeon LED which offered around 320 lumens max output in the lights it was used in. This was as hard as this LED could be pushed and not as efficient. Now with them switching their lineup away from the Luxeon and towards the new Easywhite LED's it is a valid comparison to contrast them since the Easywhite IS the replacement. Had they decided to make a high CRI version of the MK2 it would have used the Luxeon LED and had similar output to the SC62d which is the main point.
Yes but they've never implemented that in any of the Zebralight product line. The best high CRI they used before the Easywhite was the Luxeon T. It gave 320 lumens when pushed to the max. The new Easywhite is the replacement for the Luxeon and gives 800+ lumens with the same type of battery. It's clear between these two which one is better. Also they probably introduced a slightly more efficient circuit as well.
People like selling their used flashlights for very minimal loss, so you could always do that!
HAHA I do too much of that already! But if the H600Fd is irresistible after seeing some reviews, it could come to that.
Hey guys, pretty well decided that I need one of these H600F Mk III's as my first 18650 light to compliment my ZL SC52w and H52Fw. Just have a couple questions and interested in your thoughts.
c version (800 lumens, 4000K) or the d (870 lumen, 5000K)....which do you prefer and why?
Also, which 18650 do you like best for this light and where's the best place to purchase it?
Thanks in advance,
Greg
