The Official Zebralight Thread

[Charles L.]

Speaking of great Zebralights, and of Zebralight innovation and quality: I find myself looking at Policescannerman's de-domed, Vinhn-massaged SC6330 for sale in the custom lights forum way more than my wallet thinks I should (btw, someone please put me out of my misery and buy this light!). I even researched the Vinhn threads about the light. And came upon this thread -- everyone ZL aficionado should read post 9. Says a lot coming from one of the most respected modders on this forum:

Ordered my sc52w today!:twothumbs I am really looking forward to getting this light. It will be used daily in my job.

Since this is a ZebraLight thread I thought I would ask.
What good Li-Ion cell protected will work?
I just received KeepPower 14500 Sanyo 840mAh cells and one won't even allow me to close he tail cap all the way to work.
The other is so tight I wouldn't trust it once it starts heating up or in the summer when it could expand a little. The spring is %100 compressed and still has a little more gap on the tail cap so it's not completely screwed on.

So I guess I need to return them and look for other options.
What protected Li-Ion cells do you run in your SC52W L2 or SC52 L2?

I've had my SC52 L2 for a couple of days now, and I like it even more than my Olight S15 Baton. The only thing missing are accessories. Does anyone know of any pouches, diffusers, or any othe accessories that will work with the SC52s?

 

[ScottJD]

Good questin about the defuser. I'm thinking I may need to 3D print one to fit. One in red and one in white maybe.
The only things I've found so far was an optional replacement titanium coated belt clip.
If I find it again I'll post the link for you.

EDIT
i didn't find the belt clip but I remebered it was on banagaloo or some site like that.
I did find this thread, it has 3 different cases people use, good ideas and a defuser from a Felix light that fit and more. Check this thread out:

I hope this helped.

EDIT 2: lol
I found the URL. Someone mentioned this one worked on another post either in this site or another site I frequent that I can't mention without an admit editing me. But this is the belt clip alternative:

I have a SC52w L2, a H32w and a SC62w which arrived two days ago. SC52w is my favourite in terms of tint, but, overall, I like the SC62 more because of the runtime. Except for the H32w, the other two have a rosy tint which is very pleasant for my eyes.

 

[Desdinova]

OK. I just pulled the trigger on a Zebralight sc52w. It will be my second ZL. I guess I'm getting hooked on ZL's. Oh well. I guess it beats drugs.

 

[djburkes]

I just received my SC62 in cool white yesterday. So far, I love it. It is perfect for EDC.

 

[Outlander]

I've bought a H302w, a H52FW, and a SC62w all within the last week.

:D

 

[oneinthaair]

Did a little mod to my SC600 MKII L2

I hate the stock clip that comes with the 600's!

They're ugly and unpractical!

Welcome the...

Titanium Prometheus clip









Had to open up the center just a hair to clear the lip on the light. It fits flush now. With the O-ring.


The little nub keeps the clip in the perfect place!

I did recieve my 52w and 62w two weeks ago. Zebralight delivered two units with beautiful tints (or am I a lucky man?). My hunt is over. Zebralight is da poop! I am a real ***** when it comes to tint and the only complain is the purple spill, but otherwise pure perfection. My L10 219b tint is more even from spill to hot spot, but my new Zebra's has a little bit more warmth in their tints due to the extra gold and rosy touch, still very neutral IMO and all the colors really comes to life. This was exactly what I wanted - I couldn´t be happier! :).

By the way. The reflectors are not the same! The 52 has a more textured reflector making the hot spot and corona blends better. The 62 is more light textured, the reflector is more bling bling, which defines the hot spot more and make it throw a little bit better I guess. I can´t find my self reading about this discovery earlier... It is not easy to see on my picture though, but something else in real life.

I received an H600w MKII recently to replace my old one, also an H600w MKII, that I preordered and got right when it came out and there was a significant difference in tint. One was slightly yellow and the new one is perfect creamy white! I mean perfect! For me anyway. I was blown away! I also noticed that the rubber is a little bit softer than the old one and the anodizing is lighter. My old one had a slight bug in the UI where it would just stop functioning until I waited a second and so far after repeatedly trying to replicate the issue I am unable to with the new Zebralight! I think Zebralight is really stepping up there QC game!

Zebralight: I've never RMA'ed one. :)

 

[Fireclaw18]

I think Zebralight changed the tints on their neutrals a year or two ago. My SC52w (early model) looks like it has 4C tint, but my newer SC62w looks like it has the much better 4D tint.

I don't own one, but pictures of the SC52w L2 also looks like it has the 4D tint.

The 4C tint is very yellow. The 4D tint is slightly rosy, much more like a Nichia 219A. Colors tend to look much better with 4D tint even though both are around the same color temperature.

Personally I think they're getting random grab bags. Kind of like the plain brown bag at the grocery store for $5 filled with surprises. Mysterious and exciting until you open it :)

 

[davehutch]

Almost decided...but not quite :mecry:
I was originally thinking about a Thrunite TN12 but I was never "excited" aout it for some reason, then I found ZL :wave:
I have large hands so I can see a benefit to the SC600W MkII L2, but I can also see an advantage to having a smaller light that pretty much does the same thing...the SC62W.
Any last minute advice for me before I just toss a coin?

I would take the pocket clip into consideration. On the SC62 it is securely attached to the light with two screws. The clip-on style clip on the SC600 on the other hand, while not flimsy or of poor quality, could come off so if a dependable clip is important to you, the SC62 seems like the logical choice.

If you plan to use the light on the high output modes for extended periods of times, I would suggest the SC600 which with its larger mass should have better heat dissipation properties.

I guess I'm not making things easier for you :)

Check out a few post up^^^^ I added a Prometheus Ti clip to my SC600. That was the only complaint I had with the light.

I think my next ZL is going to be the new SC32w , was going to get the Olight S-10 L2 , but for basically 20 bucks more the ZL is a no brainer to me . Love ZL's UI & build quality / anodizing .

Both good points actually and I had thought about that. I'd probably pocket carry (jacket) and note that you can attach a lanyard to the 600, but not to the 62, so swings and roundabouts really.
Am I reading it right, or did the SC62 perform at max output for longer than the SC600 in selfbuilt's review? Is it simply because max is slightly lower on the 62?
