Re: *NEW* Zebralight SC52
Its because it uses an XM-L2 Easywhite which is a quad die emitter which could produce beam artifacts without a frosted lens. I will say that the Easywhite emitter they use has a much nicer tint then the Luxeon T imo. It lacks the cw spill and is a very nice ever so yellowy pure NW with near zero tint shift(I have one of these in my H600Fd MKIII). The medium diffusion frosted lens is also pretty nice and still has a hotspot albeit diffused. Honestly, in a small single AA light I personally find a diffused beam more useful. If I want a tighter hotspot and more throw I will use a larger light. The "floody" beam is great for around the house and close range work where a small light like this shines(pun intended)lol.
I've seen the SC5Fd and thought it very odd that an SC5d OP wasn't produced.
