Re: ZebraLight SC600 MkII *with PICS*
Low used to be accessible via 3 short clicks?? I'm glad they changed it then. Low being accessible via a press and hold is why I love Zebralight.
The only downside about strobe being 3 clicks is if you turned the light on in high, and want to change to high2 real quick-- if you do it too quickly you get strobe. That still gets me sometimes.
You could always do either. 3 short clicks or press and hold- then release for low.
I don't understand why people don't understand that you can just press the head of the light into your shirt at night and click three times really quick and no flash of light.
You can check to make sure it is in low if your eyes are night adjusted by looking at the edge of the bezel as it is against your shirt, or your coat, or your pants, or your dog, or your wife or g/f. Very easy to do and doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure it out.
Sometimes with the flakey switch operation, holding down and releasing gets you a big flat blast of turbo because when you thought you pressed down, it wasn't "all the way" pressed down because switch is inconsistent as per usual with ZL switches. 3 clicks to low with head of light against your shirt is SAFER, that's why I do it. I actually use the thing every day, I don't sit and look at it on a shelf or use it once every three weeks like some people seem to. If they used it ever day they would know why 3 clicks to low is a good thing to have.
Too bad ZL had to go and wreck the interface so strobe and flashy modes are always right there, ready to go off with one click to many which happens ALL THE TIME with their half-defective switches that they always use which seem to have a mind of their own anyways.
Also too bad they can't get a decent switch with some consistency either, you'd think for $100/ light they could afford it.
