Hello
This is my first post.
I have just received my Zebralight headlamp, the H53FW.
I have a couple of issues with it, one of which on reflection I could perhaps have worked out would have been a problem before ordering but nonetheless I'm surprised at.
The second is, I think a quality control issue but I stand to be corrected.
Okay.... the quality control issue is concerned with the 'groove' for want of a better word, that is cut into the main body to accommodate the clip.
I'm hoping someone else has this flashlight/headlamp and can tell me what theirs is like but on mine one of the edges of this groove is very severe and sharp whereas the other is far less aggressive and fairly nicely de-burred/rounded off. The sharp edge can actually shave your skin if you rub it with a finger!
Has anybody else got this problem?
I would have expected better from a 70 quid headlamp!
The other niggle is the fact that the clip itself on this variant can not be oriented in such a way as to clip it to a rucksack strap (apart from upside down of course).
It looks like with previous Zebralight headlamps you have been able to clip it in a couple of places and hence clip it the right way up on your rucksack for example. This seems to be a design oversight but I'd appreciate thoughts on this.
I am still to get to grips with the UI but I expected a learning curve there and the included instructions aren't much help to be honest.
I like the form factor apart from the bad machining if that's what it is and am happy with the beam on this torch.
Thanks in advance guys
