    Zebralight SC63 Question: Is a Hard Yellow Center Spot Normal?

    I've purchased three xhp35 lights from zebralight and two (sc600w mk3 hi and a h600w mk3) have green/yellow donut holes like this. I'm done with this emitter. No excuse for 2 out of 3 lights. No wonder they decided to use a frosted lens for for the only xhp50. My first sc600w mk3 hi has a...

    Zebralight H600, H600w, H600F, H600Fw Mk III XHP35

    My H600w MK III has a nasty green donut hole. Once seen, cannot be unseen. The hole doesn't just show on a white wall, it appears on everything. The remainder of the spot and spill is perfect, but I've started a return. Not keeping a light I'll never use... FYI - It looks just like this sc63...

    Zebralight SC63 Question: Is a Hard Yellow Center Spot Normal?

    My H600w MK III has the same donut hole (looks green on mine). Once you see it, you can't unsee it. It doesn't just show against a white wall, the hole is obvious when looking directly at any object. The headlamp is going back and I'll try the H600Fw. If you aren't happy with yours, send it...

    Review: Lumintop IYP365

    Thanks for the review. Looks nice. Just ordered one. There's a Lumintop direct Amazon code out there for 20% off that made this basically a $20 light with Prime, but I haven't posted in long time and don't remember the rules on external links... I don't expect this to be the Nichia Preon, but...

    Maratac AAA Rev 3

    After receiving three different copper rev 3s, I have given up. Glad so many of you had better luck with this light. I have wasted too much time with this manufacturer to get into details. I guess the positives would be the light can be operated easily with one hand (aggressive knurling and...

    Zebralight plans MKIII's and SC63 release for this year

    I think 1 is probable and 4 (I agree with you) is possible. There's not much more to do with a single cell 18650 that's practical (in the short term) other than led tech. In the mean time it seems we'll get RGB emitters and rechargeable versions of every light in the chinese catalogs. I doubt...

    Zebralight SC32 & SC32w are on their way...

    Re: Zebralight SC32 & SC32w are on their way... Good to know and I'm sure they'll do me right. Good company. Was kind of disappointed. New models always carry a little extra anticipation. No doubt I will end up liking the replacement for this little booger. Too many things going for...

    Zebralight SC32 & SC32w are on their way...

    Re: Zebralight SC32 & SC32w are on their way... Less than thrilled... The one thing that I expected to be a potential problem wasn't. I was worried about how this little stubby light would feel in the hand. It's great. This is my sixth Zebralight. I've never run into the tint issues...

    *NEW* Thrunite TN15

    That exact stock image is in the bottom right of the main listing pic for each neutral Thrunite on Amazon. Makes the two selection "buttons" different when there's more than one tint option. I don't think it's intended as an actual representation, but simply to differentiate between cool and...

    holster for fenix uc40ue?

    If your main concern is not losing the light, then I'd go with a Maxpedition 5-inch flashlight sheath. For the price, it's as secure as it gets. At just under 6", it should fit fine (bezel up or down with clip and lanyard). It's built very solid with strong velcro. I bought one for a tk22 bezel...

    Zebralight H32 & H32w

    They're being sold at BrightGuy and E2 Field Gear. I'm sure there are others, but that's the only two places I've seen them...

    Proud owner of a Thrunite TN12 2014 ? & Nitecore P12 2015

    I don't know if it jumps to 1050, but it is brighter between high and turbo on fully charged 18650s. Selfbuilts review showed similar results. Does this difference matter in real world use? Not likely. The two levels are too close together to begin with...

    *NEW* Fenix HL23 - 1x AA, max 150 lumens

    Got it Friday. Mine DOES NOT have mode memory as stated on at least one online retailer's product page. "Intelligent memory circuit. Automatically enters the previously used brightness level when turned on." I researched the thing on one site, but bought it on another because the grey was...
