    SC52W - "Green tint" poll

    I don't own any cool XM-L leds, but almost all of the cool leds I own tend more towards cyan than magenta. I have some early XP-G leds that are very green. It may have been said already, but I think most of the problem with Zebralight's neutral XM-L emitter tints comes from how picky they used...

    surefire rechargeable 123s

    Interesting. I might get a set for my Saint Minimus. 1.92Wh makes them 600mAh by my calculations.

    Looking for UV light

    Re: A good UV flashlight I bought an Inova X1MT-UVT for a trip to Death Valley a few years ago. It worked great. Great build quality, simple UI and less than $30.

    ZL SC600 TURBO MODE TEMPERATURE

    My SC600W gets hot, but not burning hot. I left it running on a table it until step down tonight. Room temp was 71. The light got up to 107.6.

    Can a SC31W replace my HDS?

    I found the SC31 too small also and sold mine. I've got the timing for low down pretty good but every so often I blind myself in the middle of the night. A good work around is to cover the bezel and triple click. Its a more reliable method of turning the light on in low mode when you're half asleep.

    Can a SC31W replace my HDS?

    I agree. The ZL torture test is very impressive, but if my life depended on a light I'd want an HDS. Fortunately that is seldom the case for me.

    Can a SC31W replace my HDS?

    I had to sell all three of my Clickies last year and I turned to my SC51w for consolation. In a lot of ways I like it better than my HDS lights. It's smaller, runs on Eneloops, is brighter than two of my HDS lights were, has a MUCH better tint and I can easily afford afford to replace it if...

    Zebralight SC80

    I don't have either of the SC80, but I've got both the SC51w and SC51c and the one I use most is the SC51w. Both the tint and the color rendering of the 51c are very slightly better (to me), but I carry the 51w for the extra brightness, better battery life at comparable levels and the slightly...

    Zebralight SC600 & SC600W discussion part 2

    Good luck Connor! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Zebralight SC600 & SC600W discussion part 2

    The place I bought mine says they'll have more in stock around March 8th. I assume Zebralight will have them on their site a little before that.

    Foursevens Preon P0

    I agree with shadeone and Mr. Walken, I'd like more knurling. I'm not crazy about the looks of the light, but I like the levels, the "floody" beam and the UI. Not a bad price point either. I was hoping for an E05 killer as opposed to an E01 killer, so I will definitely be in for one. I love my...

    gopajti's flashlight picture thread (incl. beamshots)

    Thanks for the links gopajti. I read through your review with the help of Google Translate. Nice review and great photography. Seeing the side by side comparison with the cool white Olight, there is no way I would buy the cool white. I think this light compares well with the SC600. I wish it had...

    gopajti's flashlight picture thread (incl. beamshots)

    Great beamshots! Thank you for posting them. I'm loving the tint on the Spark SL6S-740NW. How do you like the light and the UI?
