Zebralight SC700d 21700 XHP70.2 90+CRI

[henry1960]

Got mine last week..It is definatley worth the wait..I own almost all of Zebra lights and have to say this is one of my favorites!

ZL CS was good to their word, at the end of 4 weeks of "3-4 weeks," a shipping notice! Should have it to play with by the weekend. Nice.

XHP70.2 can't be good in any torch.

You might as well forget it. It's like a cult.

So... what say the jury? Seems it's showing up in a few torches, and working well.

Same here.

Nkon had this in stock for a while now. Has anyone received from them? Since it was possibly from a separate batch, I'm wondering about the anodizing color. Yes, I'm still on that topic

 

[likethevegetable]

Shoot them an email markr6! They're very friendly and responsive. I asked them to hand pick the tint on my last two ZLs and was happy.

Also, for the Canadians here,. It's overall less expensive to order from NKON than it is direct from ZL.

NKON had it in stock last week and next day was out. Now it's back in stock again. Have no idea if they received more or had any returns that went to stock again. Maybe somebody crazy returned because of anodizing color?

I'm tempted, but if I buy something bigger than my SC600w Mk IV HI, I want more throw :candle:

This is mine bought from Nkon as soon as they arrived. The color I do not mind, it is almost back to that of the first SC600. I wanted advice on holster to buy and where.

 

[markr6]

Thanks for the pic. Good looking light! I'll get over the exterior color; now I just hope I didn't screw myself by selling a good LED tint for a bad one! I'm not sure how the tint lottery is going with these, but the SC700d I had was very nice.

Stop tempting us

That's good information to know. I might start buying from there, rather than directly from ZL. Looks like the savings is about 10-15%, factoring in postage. The only issue is the cost of currency conversion. I have a US dollar credit card, so buying in USD doesn't cost me anything in conversion. But buying in euros would.

 

[P220C]

The US-Euro conversion was surcharge was insignificant when I ordered my H503C from NKON.

 

[radellaf]

Same here. (shipping notice)

So, how long does it sit at "shipping label" status? Kind of a tease to log the label more than a day or two before getting it in the mail, at least for something that'll probably get here 2-3 days after it's posted. Oh well, waited this long...

Well if you get one and like the old ones tint better, we can trade... Unless it's like horrible green or something

How are you liking the one I sold you? In the brief time I used it I really liked the tint and output.

 

[koziy]

Coming from someone who is totally new to Zebralights and now owns flashlights in both colors of anodizing (the H503c LH351D is the lighter gray color as well), I don't feel too strongly about this, but I kind of prefer the lighter gray. It's more visible against a dark background without being some gaudy color like silver. For example, if I am fishing for the light out of a dark backpack, I'll be able to see the lighter gray just a little easier than a dark gray flashlight.

Here a comparison with the SC600w IV Plus and the old SC600w mk1. Then more photos of the SC700d.

I like it well enough... Not a white wall guy, not too picky on tint.. or ano color
Great output and run time.... Considering another 700 series light if they announce one... Like a 700f...700fd maybe, like I said, not chasing pure daylight tint...if the 700 is a wall of power, then I'd like the wall of flood cousin..so to speak
If that makes any sense

 

[markr6]

I didn't test mine flush against the wall like that, but from about 8' away at a slight angle it didn't show much yellow.

Have you considered placing some diffusion material over the front glass. The Lee Filters sample book which I use to find the filters for fine tuning my tint, also contains a fairly broad selection of diffusing material. I just converted my SC600w MkIV+ to a flooder using a bit of that. Works like a charm, and it's easily reversible if needed.

 

[justanotherguy]

Maybe... But I have no problem having one of each 😊
