Which type of DC Fix do you use to smooth out your Zebra? I ordered an H53C LE and want to play around with some diffusion. Like the idea of non permanent since I used these little headlamps as around the house lights as well and at times want the hotspot/ throw.

i don’t use DC fix. I just ordered the permanent models which uses it best. My wife does have some dc fix she uses for crafts that I’ve used but IMO dc fix isn’t worth the lumen drop unless it’s from factory

Been going back and forth on changing to the F version for my headlamp. Hmmmmmm.
 
haha. depends how you use it.

imo frosted is if you're mostly using it close up and/or you don't care about battery life.
non-frosted spot/spill is for everything else.

i never go frosted. with non-frosted, you get a usable close-up beam even at very low output, and you also get much better throw.
 
unfortunately, the real way to know is to try both and see what works better for you. :(

my personal suggestion (which is worth almost nothing) is to get H600c and a couple of NCR18650GA batteries. why do you want AA? AA sucks, and the h600 series is already so small. :)

Don’t go flood or floody.

Create your own reversible flood with a removable film.

You'll thank me later.
 
I've had a regular and a floody. The floody beam was probably better for headlamp usage, but the only downside is that you can't gaze into the barely lit led on the super low low modes. This is why I was thinking dc fix.

Has been a loooong time that I ordered a Zebra. But just pulled the trigger on the SC5c Mk II and SC64c LE.
Am also looking at the SC700d.
 
Hey….I’ll talk to myself on this forum all night. Doesn’t bother me at all. Here’s a question….is it worth it to seek out some of the older Zebra models? My problem is that I really like the older body styles like the H600 and Sc62 better than the current bodies, but these are lights they have been disco’d a WHILE ago. Older tech…..yes…..lower cri……yes…..less efficient….I’m sure. But they just look so stinking nifty!

How rare are these bad boys at this point? H600 and Sc62 models. You can shoot me straight kids. Tell me….TELL ME!!! You’re silly Gurdy! Just look at the current models. Don’t be an *** Gurdygurds! Why would spend time and effort tracking down old tech? Grow up Gurdy! Everyone knows the older ones are more robust and make you happier and more witty.
