Zebralight S6330 and S6330b 2400 Lumen flashlights in the making. .

[carl]

Dear ZL: Here are my priorities for this light:
1) More throw than spill - even if this adds more length to the light.
2) Handle as small in diameter as possible - no big knobby handle pattern (like the Spark SP6) which increases total diameter - just fine knurling is good.
3) More than 3 LEDs to keep heat down but produce same amount of light.
4) Charger port like Spark SP6.

Quite frankly, a charging port is a PITA to waterproof...

Where are you guys living that you need flashlights to read house numbers (especially from such great distances)? :thinking:

Don't you have street lamps and porch lights?

I was an emergency responder before GPS was practical and most of my night-runs seemed to be to places without mailboxes at the curb. The overwhelming majority of the neighborhoods I see, then and now, don't leave their porch lights on. If a street lamp helps you see a porch address, it's a rare coincidence.

Thankfully, I've got GPS today, but "reading house numbers" is still a quantifiable benchmark that anybody can use in lieu of picturing generic spots on trees, buildings, etc.

A person with 20-20 vision (possibly using corrective lenses ;-) can read 4-inch (102mm) house numbers at 102 feet in broad daylight. If you need to "throw" farther; use proportionally larger text. Seeing spots, for the sake of seeing spots, doesn't mean very much to me; at any distance.

Where is the zebralight s6330 and the s6330b? Looked even zebras site and saw no such thing?

On the ZebraLight site, there is a Compare All Models link that includes future products.

The Spark SP6 charger port consists of a simple knurled cap with an o-ring on the mating threaded male post. It doesn't look like a PITA to waterproof but I could be wrong.

Wow! .

Like a SC600 3x chunkier with fins.

Dang it's small! I can't wait for it to come out......

It would be cool if an extender tube was an option. Would be the same or even shorter than a standard 2D, twice the run time of normal, and would probably balance really well.

Can you imagine how long the low power run time would be with six 18650's!?!?!

I agree, G.P! Since the S6330's diameter requires a holster, doubling the batteries would make it balance really well. As it stands, (pun intended) it's shorter than a can of pop!

Imho, the spill-cone should be a little tighter than 80 degrees though.. (but, we don't need to go around *that* tree again, we did it above)

ZebraLight; please consider balancing S6330 spot & spill cones with a TIR (total internal reflection) lens. It's the rage at SureFire.. (ref)

Re: Zebralight S6330 and S6330b 2400 Lumen

Now that would be the ultimate light. I would KILL for one with TIR lenses :devil:.

The new Klarus RS11 magnetic charging idea makes it less painful.

Ahem, well I just took a look at the picture of the SC6330 standing next to the maglite and.... well, uh, before I make any statement about my opinion on how it looks, what do y'all think of the form factor?

And were they purposely trying to take a pic WITHOUT the switch or something?

 

[tonkem]

I need more information, of course, as do the rest of us. I like it, so far, but I don't know which maglite that is, so have no true reference of it's size, compared to my Lupine Betty. One thing I am sure to like is the low low that the Zebra will have vs the Betty. Awaiting more information

 

[AnAppleSnail]

I don't know which maglite that is

2D incan maglite, if I'm any judge.

It's a teaser pic, getting you to focus on the comparison of forms.
