Zebralight has had a lot of activity lately, and now a welcoming addition to their line-up is the return of the CR123/16340 light. This looks to be the smallest Zebralight yet!

(Estimated shipping September 19.)

Awesome. Was thinking of buying an H52w soon but may just get the H32w instead! Hard to believe how small it is. Hoping they release a floody version though. I'm liking the beam on my H600fw for a headlamp.

Wow, they finally have pictures of it! I was beginning to give up on it even though I have been checking multiple times weekly on their page for well over a year now.

This is the one folks. I've been waiting on this light for what... 2 years? I own every AA powered H variant because I love the size, UI, and output but it means I have to carry AAs which are not part of my general setup. Now I can fully switch to primaries.

By the way, are those output numbers on primaries or lithium ion?

Interesting, but I think I'll stick with my Armytek Tiara C1w. Now if they ever come out with an H302d HCRI, then I may change my mind.

It really does seem like ZebraLight is on a roll updating their line. Maybe they got some better manufacturing on-line or just got their time booked with a good factory and got a good shipment of LEDs from their vendors. Will we see the re-introduction of the S6330 sometime soon?

Does anyone know if IMR cells are needed for the H32 or would regular RCR16340 cells work?

Any suggestions for what to buy?

Regular should work just fine.
In normal temperature, the PID will throttle back the power consumption.
In environment where the PID will allow full power on H1 mode, it should be cold enough that you won't have to worry about your rcr16340 cell becoming too hot.

but the H32 is really meant for primaries.

The F (Frosted) version has been added to the Google Spreadsheet.
Expect the ability to pre-order by the end of the month.

Great! that's the one I am looking to get.
Seconded.
Going from 175 lumens (H31Fw + DC Fix) to ~double [411 lumens minus PID] that is going to be nice.
And the best mode upgrade is H2, 225 lumens, for 1.5x as long as the H31Ffw.
And surprising that the H31 is 1.2 oz. Where is the beef? 33 vs 27 grams.

Tiny tiny tiny! I thought about this as a great backpacking light. But running on high, especially with PID, who knows when it will die. I guess you can tell with the indicator or when it kicks down to medium, but still a pretty short runtime. I guess it's easy to carry a spare battery though. But then why not just carry my H600 for ease and little extra weight and more output if necessary?

Talking myself in and out of it :)

I may pick one of these up when the frosted model comes out, I currently have an h51 and recently purchased an h52f . The flood version seems more usable when I compare the two back to back, I use them for backpacking, vehicle, and around the house.

I find I prefer using the frosted models of all my Zebralights compared to the regular cool white versions. I will be waiting for the H32F
