It will be the SC64w HI with better tint and CRI, hopefully a little more efficient. That’s it. It’s good enough for me to justify the upgrade, as long as the throw is the same or more.

Ok, I'm curious. I thought I was a flashlight nerd, but I may not be deep in enough. Maybe I'm just more interested in ultralight headlamps for running.
I have a Fenix E35 v3 and I can't really imagine what would be that much better about the sc65c or other zebralights. I can guess the CRI could be much higher, given that the E35 pumps out 3000 lumens. But, the size is amazing for everyday use and the 21700 5000 mAh battery runs forever. The E35 is smaller and lighter than my previous cheapo 18650 lights.

It IS named SC65c HI.

for some reason, the item title is "SC65c 18650 4000K High CRI Flashlight", so i missed that.

They updated the site within the last few hours. I have a notifier to tell me, looked like the name change is what they changed.
If anyone wants the best pocket clip for the SC65c, now is the time to order. Etsy seller "blade4sell" makes hands down, the best. However, it will take a long time to get. His lead times are insane. My last order was placed on March 9, and delivered on June 3...

is this the one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/352894737418
"Estimated between Thu, Aug 3 and Mon, Aug 7"
lol, wtf
i wonder if that's the clip @chillinn was talking about earlier this year. can't find the link.
I’ve always used this one from MXG Gear. Any Spyderco Para 2 or para 3 clip will fit. Same with most benchmades

For those of you pre-ordering, is your credit card getting charged right away?
Mine got charged for the SC53c N preorder right after I placed the order
Yep
On the last light in March (SC53c N) they started shipping 10 days after they took payment and 10 days before they said they would start shipping.
I bet he has the same time cushion built-in on this shipment. If nothing goes wrong!

These are from blade4sell on Etsy. Again, ridiculous lead times. But, quality is outstanding. The two on the right I’ve had for over a year and there are no scratches on them. They have been carried, a lot. The left two, I didn’t realize I ordered the ones with that goofy symbol until they arrived.

On the listing:
What's new:
New driver circuitry with improved efficiency
Larger and better spec'd key components
0.5mm shorter
This definitely warrants the design increment from 4 to 5. I suspect the Nichia 53s use the same circuit.
@Bob_McBob count me in as a maybe--I like my SC64w Hi but my interest is piqued. Just upgraded my H53c, so might as well do whole fleet... Out of curiosity, do you resell stock ZLs?
