I agree. LgHG2 is my best choice.Just get some Samsung 30Q or LG HG2. Both are excellent cells.

My co-worker broke his. Took over 2 months to get it back repaired. Just a heads up.
There's a heavy OP reflector under the frosted lens, these two work together to smooth out beam artifacts coming from the XHP50 inside. There would be a dark hole in the middle of the beam if the frosted lens is replaced with a clear version.
I don't think any of the manufacturers are designing flashlights with removable lens as this will basically render a flashlight's water proof feature non-existent, and dust would cover the surface of the reflector and LED inside whenever the lens is removed.
There are lights that settle that issue perfectly because of their modularity: Elzetta, Malkoff, etc
Good point, but I think Beckler is talking about swapping out the lens only, not the entire head.
This idea is not up with Zebralight marketing policy. They want you to possess separate lights
Anyone tested Sanyo NCR18650GA and Sony Konion US18650VTC6 battery with this light? I keep using H1 mode mostly and heard that VTC6 voltage drops slower with high discharge, so any benefits in this case? VTC6 costs ~ 25% more than Sanyo.
VTC6 can tolerate higher usage temperatures than Sanyo (80C vs 60C)? Now if I only could tweak SC600Fd max temp so that it goes up to 75C instead factory 55C max limit. Light itself is rated to 85C, if I remember correctly. Zebralight email support said that they can't control which batteries people use when I told about VTC6's higher temp tolerance and therefore asked higher max temp setting.
Are these still green?
Please let us know about the tintGood! I just ordered one today. Planning on replacing my SC63w as my EDC.
:welcome:
Merkurio, the SC600Fd III Plus is an excellent choice for short range (up to ~25 meters) illumination because it is indeed very floody. The high CRI LED makes it a much better choice than the XHP35 models in my opinion.
A frosted lens reduces light output by ~10% and they are by design a little more susceptible to impacts but in return you get a wonderfully even "wall of light".
