Zebralight SC52 Owner's Thread

I like my SC52W and SC52d. Only serious drawback is that they sometimes easy slip out of my fingers: the striped pattern should be along the body instead of across it. Or maybe even better the traditional knurling of SC5.

True that but I love its aesthetics as an architectural homage, to the flutes characteristic of the Doric Column.
 
Carried one in pocket every day since they were released and I can not turn up anything to replace it yet.
And not for lack of trying!
 
After reading all the positive comments on the zebralight i finally got hold of a sc52w L2. It has exceeded all my expectations brilliant ui and tint.
 
My SC52W L2 is always on the kitchen cupboard and the #1 goto light.
Even my wife loves this light to use. Something about the button placement position.
Its just a great size and operation and my sample has a good tint.
 
Nice to see mostly positive feedback about our light! :)

With regards to easily slipping out of the hand, you could tie a lanyard around the pocket clip so you can grab it in case it falls out.

This light is the only light that took over my favorite old EDC, which was the Four Sevens Quark AA Tactical with 14500 and AA body. :)
 
If anyone ever asks for flashlight suggestions and wants to get something nicer I always point them towards the SC52.
 
IMHO the best flashlight for the money or for more for that matter, hands down!
 
Sigh, my SC52's switch is failing. It is getting very hard to press to activate the light. Is there a quick fix for this or should I RMA this back to Zebralight?
 
According to my order history, I bought mine in June of 2013. It's still working fine, though I don't use it often.
 
Time to resurrect this thread with a quick update.....

I've had an SC51 for years and virtually every iteration of the SC52. I still have my original 51 as well as multiple 52's that live in my various bags as backup lights. The 51 was given to my son who still uses it as his EDC and I'm carrying my 52W every day in either pocket or bag. None of my Zebralights have ever missed a beat!

The SC 52... along with the SC 62, remain my two primary EDC lights. With the 52, I run 14500's and Eneloops as backups. Especially like the moonlight function as it's bright enough for minimal light I need in some uses. The high and medium modes are ideal for most of the applications I'm involved with. Only when I know I'm going to places where I think I would need the bright intensity of the 62, do I leave the 52 at home. Especially with wearing a suit at night, the 52 is ideal as it's so small. BOTH are great lights and are still running like new.
 
I have 2. A 52d and 52w. Both have been carried and used countless times. I still love them both. Both have different but equally great tints and beams. Both are tremendously useful and are still in the rotation for edc (trying out and liking a thrunite t1 recently). They still hold a very special place in my collection and still lights I can turn to after all these years and just know they'll do what I want. I use them with 14500s. Timeless lights.

I recently got a minty used 52cw and I’m carrying it solely, while taking care of Pops here in L.A..

It’s working quite well.
