    New Zebralight SC5

    I just tried some generic looking alkalines 'GP Ultra' They fit and the light works but the battery rattles about a lot

    New Zebralight SC5

    Thanks!, that is some help. I'm not looking for a pocket thrower :shakehead sorry if I've given the wrong impression. I was sent the wrong SC5 version, I wasn't sure if it's worth sending back or not, if I'm going to loose 20% throw over the smooth version then I probably would, 10% or less...

    New Zebralight SC5

    Sure I get that, but nothing wrong with trying to maximise throw is there? since this is my preference. I prefer a more defined hot spot, this reflector doesn't really produce one and it made me wonder how much throw I'm loosing.

    New Zebralight SC5

    Thanks for the above replies^^^^. I'm pretty pleased with the light overall, the tint has some green but it's 100% better than my SC52, which makes everything look like it's under the sea. I did want to get max possible throw out of this so that's why I'm thinking of sending it back, but from...

    New Zebralight SC5

    Just brought an SC5, I thought it would have a smooth reflector but it has OP. I'm thinking of sending it back but not sure if it's worth it ?? Do you think there is a significant difference between the two? Does anyone have both or is knowledgeable about such things ? thanks

    Zebralight Reliability

    I've seen a few torture tests done on various lights where they've been frozen in ice/left in the freezer etc and the lenses didn't crack. Were were you that was cold enough to crack a freaking lens? Do you think they were defective to begin with? or did you drop them or something :thinking:

    I never said it was the SC52. It was in fact a H51.

    Zebralight Reliability

    Flashaholic maxim no.37 H51: would randomly not switch on, not good when you're in pitch blackness - wasn't the battery, did tests, was just the light (tried cleaning contacts etc). SC52: I had to send it back because it had a serious battery drain issue, it would deplete a cell within 48h...

    Zebralight Reliability

    I wonder if the other poll starters made them with a similar motive. I was contemplating earlier why there is a disproportionate amount of polls and threads for Zebralight, yet most people seem to have had no problems. Out of the three I've owned all have had issues, one of them had to be...

    Searched for sicaflex and got nothing, did you mean sikaflex? It appears to be some sort of Primerless hybrid assembly adhesive

    Does anyone else here dislike cool AND warm tints?

    I like that you felt the need to add an educational link, I would like to think that the average CPF user knows what the Jurassic period is :p This is what I get when I think of the "Incandescent Age"

    *NEW* FourSevens Brass Lights

    Re: *NEW* Foursevens Brass Lights I don't think it's just about numbers. I've tried both CW & NW and I personally prefer CW. For me it gives better sharpness and clarity, and of course more perceived brightness (this is assuming it is actually cool white and not green white/blue...
