i wouldnt think so, diameter is larger and keep in mind that the SC51 head was the widest part, the body was much slimmer. So over all it will look much fatter then the Sc51 and for SC31 customers it will look much longer. 23,9mm diameter compared to 22mm is pretty much in this light class
Well then it should take IMR/LiFePO4 14500, 16340, 17500 with no problems. Thats very impressive.
The only thing that worries me is that the sleeve/spacer appears to be positively charged. The only thing preventing it from shorting out would be the coating on the inside of the battery tube. :shrug:
That's a good point. I would think that it could be modified relatively easily to increase shorting prevention (electrical tape and sanding the adapter if needed).

The bushing/adapter/spacer is solid metal and if the anodizing or coating on the inside of the aluminum/flashlight tube wore through it would short the battery out. The entire adapter is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, making it much easier for the battery to short. In other designs only the small contact on the head is connected to the small positive terminal, so the battery is less likely to short.I'm confused as to how being in a battery tube is any different than being in a aluminum flashlight tube?
Could this thread please be locked since the Zebra SC80 thread started first & is longer?
and much heavier.
Perhaps one of the mods could just merge the two threads?
Not a problem to me. A few grams isn't a big deal in terms of the increased versatility these lights will provide.
Granted, I'll probably never run one on a CR123, but having that option is still a plus for the light.
Any estimates on when we can expect neutral or high CRI versions of the SC80?

Another vote for merging threads or closing one of them.2 weeks.

2 weeks.
Good idea. I'll do it now.Perhaps one of the mods could just merge the two threads?
Many thanks for the thread merge.
I don't know if I should be happy or sad that neutral SC80 may be coming so soon.
I mean I really don't need one but I still want one. I may be falling off the wagon.
