    Manker Quinlan T01 (XP-L HI, 1xAA/14500) Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIMES, and MORE!

    Does anyone else hope that Zebralight takes the hint and makes a Turbohead SC5 and SC600?

    Zebralight plans MKIII's and SC63 release for this year

    would someone clarify for me... With all the speculation going around I've gotten a bit off track with what is going to happen. I know that an SC600 with an XHP35 is released and will be shipping later but are there other versions coming with different LED's? (XHP35 HI)

    Zebralight plans MKIII's and SC63 release for this year

    It's more about having a lot of 18650's that won't fit. So you'll have to be careful about packing so not to mix the two types of batteries. Hate to get where I'm going and realize that I've got the wrong batteries and will be in the dark. Kind of negates having a light in thefirst place...

    Zebralight plans MKIII's and SC63 release for this year

    Is anyone turned off (no pun) by not being able to use protected cells? I only ask because I only have protected cells and can't use any of them in this new light.

    Zebralight plans MKIII's and SC63 release for this year

    Well I've officially misplaced my SC600 MkI. And as most the internal debate goes on. Buy a 600 or 62? Wait and buy the next gen. 600 or 63? sigh...

    Starting out LED project

    There is not a sticky in this forum about fundamentals of DIY LED solutions, so I'll ask. I've been searching for a solution for eave lighting for a couple of years now. I thought there might be a commercial solution available but can't find anything that I like either in cost or features or...

    Sunwayman V11R (XM-L, 1xR/CR123A, 1xAA/14500) Review: RUNTIMES, VIDEO, BEAMSHOT+

    I bought this light based on selfbuilt's recommendation and I'd like to add a question and a few comments. Q: With the "ring" this light doesn't step down when the battery gets low like non-ringed lights. What does it do? Comments: While I'm not bubbly over this light I'll keep and use it...

    Zebralight H600 Mark II coming August 2013!!!

    I assume that we have different needs from our lights. I stated in another thread that I was happy with the levels of the H51. It was the runtime I would like to see improved. I use (a lot) typically two levels that I toggle between 100 and 200 lumens for most of my work and occasionally...

    Zebralight H600 Mark II coming August 2013!!!

    I'll throw my two cents in, not that anyone asked. The 11 and 30 lumens could be dropped altogether from the medium levels. 50, 100, 150 would be more usable for me. And I'm happy with the 115/164 on my H51Fw.

    ZebraLight H600(w) XM-L 750 Lm

    I have been waiting anxiously for the H600w mkII. Giddy almost. 18650 runtimes, 4400K color, Zebralight UI. Drooling I tell ya. My Spark ST6-460NW is okay. The switch is quirky. Not in love like the ZL's Today it's on ZL's webpage and buzzkill. :scowl: Med1=65 lumens. High2=330 lumens...

    Dedicated throwers

    Considering a dedicated thrower. So please consider my experience is limited to currently owning a Zebralight SC600, Surefire 6P with Lighthound XP-G upgrade, Dereelight Javelin 3SM 3xAA, as throwers, so this is the baseline for comparison. While they are not what I consider dedicated throwers...

    Current Brightest Single 18650 Lights

    Re: Current Brightest 18650 Lights according to Spark's webpage the SL6 steps down from Super (800 lumens) to Max (500 lumens) after 5 minutes for protection. *********** I went to goinggear.com and used their search feature under the Flashlight section. I found: six lights as 1x18650...

    18650 n00b in need of guidance

    Recently went down the Li-ion road, first with RCR123's, then 14500, then 18650. Another Pila and AW satisfied customer. No experience with other brands, just one noob to another.
