    Modestly priced ONE cell EDC Flashlight, your favorite.

    +1 on that ZL SC51W. Another point: it comes with a nifty headband to double as a headlamp. Not quite as good as a 'dedicated' headlamp, but very very serviceable.

    Best flashlight application EVER!

    The wife just had our bathroom remodeled and during the floor tile installation, I used my Zebralight SC51 to 'light up' the tiles across their collective surface. What an incredible inspection aid. I had to point out to the tile contractor a couple of unacceptable tiles where their 'lippage'...

    Impressive single AA flashlight... the best one?

    I have both the SC50W and the SC51W. I have had the 51 now for about 2-1/2 mos, and I bought it because I was so impressed with the 50. I am very happy with my decision, and I carry the 51 every day. I made a lanyard attachment to replace the excellent pocket clip because I prefer the...

    How reliable are Zebralight's?

    My EDC has been the SC50W+ now for 2 months +. No problems, no babying, no regrets. Love the WW - I can actually tell which color of socks I grab out of the drawer while my wife is asleep. Before, I sometimes found what I had on was a "fashion surprise" in daylight. I love the side-clicky...

    Suggestions for a Smallish EDC pocket carry?

    The Zebralight SC50 comes with a really good pocket clip as well as a nice headband. The side-clicky UI is more ergonomic than either a twisty or tailcap switch.

    What is your current EDC Flashlight... and how do you like to carry? Pics :)

    My EDC is ZL SC50W+ along with a Benchmade 556 knife. I like the practicality of one-handed operation with both of these. I particularly like the side-clicky UI. The ZL is deep-pocket carry (ZL in one pocket, knife in the other) but I keep a lanyard on it to hang it around my neck when I...

    Another LED light application

    True flashlight story: Although I am a newbie here, I am a gadgeteer from way back. I have really enjoyed the pride of ownership for my first 'real' flashlight: A Fenix LD20R4. What a fantastic combo of technology, craftsmanship, and performance! Last week (actually 8/16/10) my wife went...

    What light feels perfect in your hand?

    I really like the Zebralight SC50 -- with the clip laying in the crook of my fingers, the thumb is perfectly on the UI. Feels great and super handy. :thumbsup:

    My perfect EDC (and yours)

    My new Zebralight SC50W is a great EDC as far as I can tell with my limited knowledge, stoked by perusing post upon post from this forum. With a reasonable $ investment, I figure it's a perfect learning platform, and I especially wanted to standardize on the AA cells, due to my many other AA...

    The Flashaholic's "Must-Have" List -- Cast your vote!

    Zebralight SC50, with or without 'W' -> the side clicky is great for point / shoot, and the UI can be sliced any way you want. This is great ergonomics for such a small short handy light.:twothumbs

    Zebralight SC50 Lanyard

    I received my SC50W yesterday, and I put a Fenix wrist lanyard onto the existing chome-plated clip. I used a 'cat's paw' style of loop in the skinny part of the lanyard cord, and it pulls up nicely tight into the slot thru the clip. The completed loop is compact, neat, and symmetrical. It...

    Help me find my first light!!

    I just received my first good light, the LD20R4 and it came with a smooth reflector. I didn't know you could specify the OP reflector. However, I have no complaints: great beam geometry, no artifacts - with my limited experience I am very happy.

    Which Fenix flashlight do you have ?

    I am new here and after scoping out the posts for a couple of weeks, and surfing most of the Web dealers, I just bought my FIRST 'real' light: the Fenix LD20R4. As a matter of fact, it just came yesterday. I love it, but I don't have anything to really compare it to except a 4D Maglite and...
