wheres the h501? or whatever
Ditto, I want to get a Zebralight but I'd rather get a new model than something released almost 2 years ago. So for now, I'm patiently waiting for the release of the H501/H51 or whatever so I can evaluate all the options.
I carried an E01 in my wallet for a few days before returning it. A Zebra single AAA in similar size is my dream light now.

I'd like to see a 2 AAA version. It could be the the size and shape of a pen, and could be used while still clipped in a shirt pocket.

If aaa make it compatible to Li-Ion accumlators, too.
Just FYI, I emailed Zebralight a few days ago and got this response:
Hi Kevin,
The H501 will use the same lens as one in the H30 and the H60.
It will be released in two to three weeks.
Thanks and regards,

I was literally going to order an H50 tonight until I read hyaku88's post. Dangit! Forgive my ignorance, but is the only difference between the H50 and H501 in the lens - 120 vs. 80 degree flood? Or is there a twisty/pushbutton switch difference as well? I'll wait three weeks for a pushbutton AA version.

i'm excited :twothumbs, there's been a hole in my headlamp collection. i need something nonplastic and to stick with my AA theme.
Well, it looks like my hope for a single AAA Zebra light has been dashed. I might take a look if the new AA is not bigger than the current AA. As far as availability goes, I think it will a while before we can buy one. First, they will put up a teaser picture on their website with no information or availability date. Then after a few weeks, it will be available for pre-order.
As of right now, there is no teaser picture on their website.

Well, it's about time. I've been waiting for this model for 6 months+?
I'll believe it when I see it, but I think it will be nice. I hope the UI is smipler (ie H50/H30) and not the many modes of the H60.
I hope they try for a more throwy model at some point too in 1 AA, but I will be very happy with the H501.

Personally I'm still hanging out for the reflectored versions H31/H51. They were due in a month about six months ago. Hopefully sometime inthe next few months please Zebralight?
Still really love my H50, great as an area light inside a large camping tent.

Here is what zebralight should improve on all of their models:
Get rid of the silcone!
Use plastik snaps to hold the lights instead. These are much more convienient because its easier to change between Headband/Pocketclip/nothing at all.
These polyamide tube clips are cheap and reliable. They are paintable too, so GITD should be possible.
"Fischer Rohrclip RC IEC 20" fits the H60/H30, "IEC 15" should fit the H50.
Make a pocket clip which is directly screwn to the body just as i did here:
Add a magnet with adhesive to stick to the endcap to the package. That way, everyone can decide wether or not to use a magnetic mount.
All these changes together should not be that expensive. In fact, plastic snap and integrated pocketclip would save some production cost while the magnet would cost a few cents.
All in all this should make their lights much more interesting whithout getting more expensive.
Here are the things i would want from an H501:
-Same design as the H60 in the small H50 size.
-Better suited for use with 14500 rechargebles:
-working modes (1/20/80lm)
-Better heat dissipation given by H60-like design
-GITD clicky
The H30 should basically just be a shorter version of the h60, the h60 may stay as it is.
I dont think we need to get rid of the many modes of the h60. In practice, the h60 has only three modes, but if you want to, you may adjust them to your needs.

This makes me a happy boy. They are going to sell a lot of these.
All of my flashlights, lanterns, travel shaver, travel alarm, and a few other items all run on AA batteries. Oh, and tv remotes, the Wii remotes, r/c car transmitters, etc. I have lots of Eneloops!

Yes you are.
H501 = no reflector and is the model you are after.H51 from what info been released on CPF has a reflector. Whether the UI is a twisty like the H50 or clicky ala H30/H501/H60 is unknown yet.
