Zebralight SC64w HI

[WalkIntoTheLight]

I can't stand it anymore. I pre-ordered it this morning. Christmas gift!

The SC64w HI is scheduled to start shipping November 23rd... that's an early xmas gift!

Should be as near as damn the perfect light, compact, powerful, decent reach.................win! Always wondered why they did not do a HI at the start with the sc64.

It'll take at least a week to get here from China. And, hopefully they won't push out the Nov 23 estimate. So, yeah, maybe an early Christmas!

Probably a good business decision, to push sales of the SC600w HI. Besides, ZL has generally stuck with floody lights for their small sizes. The 64w HI will be a different offering than they usually do.

I will be interested in seeing comparisons between the SC600 HI and the SC64 HI.

Ok, I ordered as well. This will be damn near perfection.

It is, decent reach, bright spill thanks to high output. Trick UI to program how you want out of 12 levels, 18650 fed in a smaller/lighter package than HDS for a 1/3 or even a 1/4 of cost. All the energy in the tank for pretty much most applications, more reach, clever PID. 2nd to none ano as well on top in my fav green flavour!!! For $80 , potted, programmable............

^^^^ This guy better order two!

I'll do a comparison video when I get the SC64w HI.

What would be interesting to see is how much faster the SC64w hi steps down compared to it's bigger brother sc600w hi in the higher PID settings.

No need to wait. You can test this now with an SC64w. The upcoming HI model should step down at the same rate.

Bottom line is the SC64w HI should step down much faster than the SC600w HI due to less thermal mass.

Haha, in time I will. The 700 looks cool also but sure a bit chunky. This would be the one that got more use. Still prefer the 62 body, I am enjoying the previous models still. Don't have any 64 or mkIV yet! But this could be the next, form/xhp35 HI /UI. Who knows what the future brings

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

I am having trouble pulling the trigger. Seems too similar to my SC63w. Now that SC700d tho.....

Remember Zebralight has a very generous return policy and their lights also tend to keep most of their value on the used market, so there isn't really a lot of cost involved if you really don't like it. Personally I think an XHP35 HI would work beautifully in the current rougher OP reflectors.

This is true...

The cost is the return shipping... but it's worth it if you need to test the light to see if it will fit your needs. Brand new models that are often out-of-stock at release can probably be sold relatively easy to someone who doesn't want to wait and the shipping can be paid by the buyer, or split with buyer/seller.

Just ordered one, couldn't take it anymore LOL

They ask that you send it USPS 1st class, not sure why. There's no protection there unless you insure it. I roll the dice and just trust it gets there for about $2.75 mailed in the US.

I just strap it to whatever animal I could catch and then think and pray it gets there!

I have decided to pre-order the SC64w HI as it should be a clear upgrade to my SC62w... but I am likely going to wait to for reports on the SC700 beam/tint/etc as it doesn't seem like it's definitely going to provide me with significant benefit over the SC600IV Plus.

Likewise I just pre ordered too as an upgrade to my SC62w. Just hope it throws a little bit better.
