Zebralight SC32d // SC62d

[siginu]

Zebraspeak for high CRI light, usually 4000K @ 85 CRI. I'd like one as well, and while we're at it I'd like it in the new 600 MKII as well.

Initial release has been postponed to 11/2013 in ZL's spreadsheet.

 

[siginu]

Time to renew the countdown?

Really looking forward to this one.

New entry into dictionary;
anticlimactic - Zebralight release dates.

 

[tonkem]

Would be nice if they were like apple and did not give any hint of new products, then just announce and release immediately after announcing. with shipping.... would make life easier...

 

[KITROBASKIN]

I emailed ZL Monday(?) and have not received a response. Usually they do within a few days.

This could mean they are close to releasing specs or... They are busy. I did direct the question to sales. Just got an H600w L2. It is incandescent in tint, but colors render pretty good. Still curious about an SC62d.

OK, Got this Saturday night:

Would love to get the sc62d. I've been on the fence about the H502d as I do love the higher CRI emitters. If more experienced folks were to guess at a realistic release date given the current info, when might that be?

 

[tonkem]

Probably February release would be my guess. But could be later with zebralight history.

 

[juplin]

Zebralight should hurry up. Otherwise, will go for Spark.

OK, so one is a 123 battery and the other a 14500 or AA. No 18650 torch and how do you get one of them. Models you cited do not appear on Spark website, or going gear, or sbflashlights, best I can tell.

 

[juplin]

This is where you can buy Spark SF3 or SF5 CW/NW/HC :

Another option may end up being Armytek Smart C2i XM-L2 if it gets released first, it may not have firefly mode though, and I'd rather have a Philips LED. On the plus side it will likely be actually waterproof, and I prefer the 4000K to the 5000K that Zebralight is specifying.

In the end I'd just like an 18650 pocket carry light that has good CRI, decent throw/flood mix beam, and can handle a little water every now and again.

Hear hear!

 

[KITROBASKIN]

Oh, and a good user interface and a switch that is resistant to being turned on unintentionally yet is quick to access, lightweight and durable.

Edit: yes absolutely, needs low,low mode like you said in the next post, siginu

 

[siginu]

Agreed, and I forgot - needs firefly as well!

 

[siginu]

Well, Armytek has a CAD drawing up for the Smart C2i XM-L2 ... looks like I'll be waiting on the SC62d. (yep, it looks that bad)

We will release the SC62d next week. We have looked at the Nichia 219 for years, but decided not to use it for the time being.

[neutralwhite]

do you think that the sc62d can be a good back up to my sc600mkII L2 considering it's also an 18650?.
good enough to put on a neck Lanyard, or too BIG / heavy?.

:thumbsup:
thank you...

Too bad, I wonder if that's because ZL concentrates more on XML formats than XPG? A 219 would be a simple replacement for an XPG.
