It would be nice to see 519a in AA format. Is that permitted to say on this thread?

I love it how they never tell anyone anything. Keeps it a mystery and they keep selling lights haha. Love my 700d!
If I'd known they were discontinuing 700d I would have grabbed one before Holidays. No worries, nothing I can't live without..
It is but make it quick..
Yes fivenineteenA would be great, especially in a Zebralight. I also wish they would bring back another sc64w HI model
Tough times, maybe they have to downsize, to NOT shutdown. Compared to other Chinese brands, Zebralight is a micro company, and economics/COVID/government in china has been terrible for some time. We’re lucky they haven’t shutdown during the worst of pandemic.
Let’s keep buying their lights and supporting them.
nice!!!
Supply strain on PRC mfgr is the issue.

Only difference, that I can see, between d & fd is frosted lens.
How easy is bezel rings removed?
For those wondering the tint of the Zebralight SC64c LE LH351D 4000k emitter vs Malkoff SST20 4000k. Pretty much identical

Double emitter??
The new AA-headlamp with a deep red hue seems to have a pair of emitters. Why, exactly?
The outputs are roughly in line with the old XPE red emitters.
(And lumen levels are always low for red lights, because the lumen measurements are optimized for a different part of the spectrum).
Anyhow -- I'm sure it will be fine, and if I did not already have two H503rs I would pick one up.
But I'm still curious....

A new cell appeared Vapcell INR14500 F12 1250mAh.
For example IKEA LADDA has 2450mAh.
1.2*2450 = 2940
3.7*1250 = 4625
Now I think it is a good idea to add Li-ion support.

In an earlier thread, I showed that some ZL AA models work fine on Li-ion, even if they do not officially support it. See details here:

Well, I don't know about the SC5's. Those used a different driver from the start, optimized for 1.2v sources. So, I'd be nervous about using a 14500 on those drivers, and I'm not going to be the first one to sacrifice my SC5 to find out.
But at least on the SC53 and H53 models and their variants, the 14500 works okay, provided the reset you mention.

There's no risk in running your SC53 or H53 on Li-ion. Lots of people have tried it, and it works without any damage to the lights. I don't know about the SC5, so there may be some risk there.
Why do it? I run my H53 on Li-ions not because it's cheap or expensive, but because it puts out ~500 lumens that way instead of ~300 lumens. The bump in output makes it worthwhile.
