Operations
This light has 3 main levels (High, Medium, and Low). Each main level can be configured to one of its two sub-levels. The second sub-level of the High can be further configured to different brightness levels or strobes.
- Basic Operation
- Short click turns on the light to High or turns off the light.
- Long click (press and hold for about 0.7 seconds) turns on the light to Low.
- Advanced Operation and Configuration
- Short click turns on the light to High. Short click again quickly to cycle from High to Medium, and Low.
- Press and hold to cycle from Low to High, release to set. When press and hold, the light always cycle from Low to High regardless which level you are currently in.
- Double click to toggle and select between the two sub-levels for that main level. Sub-level selections (except the strobe) for the 3 main levels are memorized after the light is turned off and through battery changes.
- The second sub-level of the High can be configured after 6 double clicks. Double click (startng with the 7th) to cycle and select different brightness levels or strobes. Short click to turn off the light when finishing configurations. The selections for the second sub-level of the High are memorized after the light is turned off and through battery changes.
- Clip
- Two o-rings
FAQ
- Is there a pocket clip on this light? Yes, a reversible and removable clip is included.
- What is the emitter bin? U2.
- When will the neutral tint version be available? We'll release the SC600w as soon as we can get the LEDs with the EXACT bin and tint we like (very picky here).
- Allowing for unknown bin/tint, what is approximate neutral Turbo Lm? Neutral White in Turbo is unknown at this moment. (answered 5/6/11)
- Estimated lux? (or more defined beam characteristics?) Don't have a lux figure. The beam angle is similar to the other SC series XP-G lights, the hotspot is slightly smaller.
- Is the switch the same design as the sc60? Different switch design, and it's more recessed.
- Can this light accidentally get turned on in your pocket as easily as the sc60 if not locked out? No, even if it's not locked out. The switch is more recessed and it requires about 40% more force to activate the switch.
- How does Turbo work - is it timer or temperature controlled? The turbo is time controlled (5 minutes).
- Regarding the 5 minute step down, can you turn it off/on for another 5 minutes of Turbo at 750 Lm - or would it go to 500 Lm? After turning it off, you can get another 5 minutes of Turbo. Not recommended though.
- Is the bezel removable? Yes, but it's glued during assembly.
- Stated acceptable battery length is 67mm; popular protected batteries (AW & Redilast) are 68+ mm. Do you anticipate issues? We haven't seen many battery length issues for the SC60. The SC600 and SC60 share the same internal dimensions. Edit:the SC600's internal battery section length has been increased by 0.9mm.
- Can you use two CR123 batteries in this light? The 6V from two CR123A's is above the operating voltage range of the SC600 and may damage the circuit.
- Is a selfbuilt review in the works? Yes, please see here.
- Is the 30 mm width at the widest point, or at the bezel? The 30mm is at the bezel, not at the widest point.
- Are there size comparison pictures of the SC600 vs SC60? Please see here. And here.
