What other lights do you guys own that you think this SC700d will replace or render inferior?
I don't really see the SC700d replacing any of my current lights, but rather having joined the ranks as more of an all purpose around the house the light.
Here's how I see it fitting in with my other ZL lights:
SC52w: Honestly, I don't use this one that much, because it's not that much smaller than my SC62w, but I do like having at least one AA light in the house.
SC62w: I really appreciate the small form factor of this light, giving me all the power and run time of an 18650 cell, along with the versatility of the ZL UI, all in a small pocket friendly size, meaning there's never a reason to leave home without it. I use this as my during-the-day EDC, just to have it in my pocket for those time I need a light to see inside somewhere where it's dark (under a seat in the bus or in an engine compartment), or to have if my day job ends up going over into a night job (which happens frequently).
SC600w MkIV+: My main work light for night work (which is my main job). Bigger than the SC62w, but still pocketable, and it is brighter for those times I need that kind of reach, and I really enjoy it's broader hotspot which makes reading a book in the car more enjoyable while I'm waiting for guests to eat dinner, etc. (I'm a chauffeur).
SC700d: My around the house all purpose light, with great runtime at higher outputs and extreme brightness when needed, with the added bonus of still being small enough to fit in a jacket pocket and able to go as low as I'll ever need, all in one small light. I'll probably use this when going for walks at night (easy to hold and operate with gloves on), or going down to the beach at sunset.
So, all-in-all, I think the SC700d makes a nice addition to my little little herd : )
