    The Official Zebralight Thread

    I can't remember the last time I purchased a Zebralight... been using my H53Fw, SC600w IV, and SC64w HI forever. I still love them, but it was always exciting to see what ZL was bringing out... very concerned about them and their lack of offerings.

    The Official Zebralight Thread

    This is the time of year where I start thinking about another/new Zebralight... I looked at their website and WOW, the offerings are abysmal. The only SC65 is the High CRI version with 660 lumens... no SC600w other than the HI version... I wonder what is going on over there? Also... the lanyard...

    Always leave your ZL on in Moonlight Mode when carrying it... if you drop it, you can find it in the dark.

    Glove box light

    My older Zebralights become my glove box lights... right now it is 2 x SC62w's.

    I would buy a "head cover" for my SC600w for sure.

    What Happened to Zebralight R&D?

    I've been following ZL since 2010 when I bought my first H501w... I've never really seen anything quite like this. Glad to see the SC65c show up since that means that they are creating new products.

    Very interested to see if the SC65 HI has any output advantage over the SC64 HI... or if it's just a tint upgrade?

    I really hope they are selling out a bunch of inventory before the release a whole new lineup... but I don't know.

    The Official Zebralight Thread made it to Page 2... sad times.

    The Official Zebralight Thread

    As stated many times by myself and other users... 14500 is not officially "supported" by ZL, but several of us use 14500 cells in H53 lights (and SC 53 I think) without any issues reported so far. It is not known why official support was dropped... maybe they don't guarantee voltage protection...

    The Official Zebralight Thread

    The SC64w HI has got to be the best overall light if you must choose one... the SC600 is great around the house/yard, but it is too big for EDC... the AA sized lights are fantastic for EDC, but don't have the power for some outdoor tasks. The SC64 will fit in a pocket fine and has the power for...

    The Official Zebralight Thread

    Several ZL's have a much higher "burst mode" when using 14500... this was supported in the H52 and SC52. The 53 series dropped official support, but it has been verified that the "burst mode" still exists with the 53's. I use 14500 in my H52Fw and H53Fc and I really enjoy the burst mode.

    The Official Zebralight Thread

    Everyone should have a Zebralight headlamp... My H52Fw is my most used/carried light and I rarely use it as a headlamp. It makes a great EDC with just the clip and is quite useful handheld or as a right-angle work light. Now I carry an H53Fc with 14500... but the H52Fw still gets plenty of...

    What Happened to Zebralight R&D?

    ZL's offerings on their web site seem to be getting thinner and thinner... Either they are exhausting inventory to launch new product lines, or I have some fears. Or maybe it is just continued material shortages? If it were a shortage issue, I would expect things to be "out of stock" and not...

    Anyone see this light on Kickstarter called DARKFADE

    I EDC my Zebralight headlamps, so I appreciate the angled head for both walking around and using as a work-light. The ZL and its interface provide me with similar utility to this light, albeit not as fancy (but a lot cheaper). Glad to see the innovation, which may trickle into other designs...

    Do you remember your first?

    My first "real light" after getting burned by junk was a Fenix 2xAA... then I got into Four Sevens AA/14500 lights when they were doing neutral emitters... then (and still) Zebralights.

    ZL H53 on 14500?

    Great news! Very happy to continue using 14500s in my ZL headlamps... so the only reason that the H53 "doesn't support" 14500 is that the protected cells don't fit?

    The Official Zebralight Thread

    I don't follow things too closely these days either, but I was under the impression the HI models were discontinued... maybe ZL found a source and plans to bring back the SC600 HI. Like I said, I was much more impressed with the overall output and beam of the Plus and did not see significant...

    The Official Zebralight Thread

    I didn't think the HI models were coming back? The SC600w Plus is probably my most used light at this point and I like it way more than HI model. I compared the SC600w Plus and HI directly and the Plus beam was far more useful in my opinion... my eyes could not tell any significant different in...

    ZL H53 on 14500?

    So I ordered some Epoch Unprotected 14500 cells... they arrived today... charged them... inserted into my H53Fc LE... nothing. I was so disappointed since they clearly fit and allowed the tailcap to tighten down (the protected cells I normally use do not). I tried a different cell and it...
