I think Zebralights are well thought out and seem to be well made. I have the H51 and H51f.
Still I think the H2 setting may be an exaggeration. I realize that increases in output with a floody light aren't as noticeable as a more focused light since less of the output is right in front of you. I also realize how we humans interpret increases in output (and it's not linear).
When I go from 100 lumens to 200 lumens (H1 to H2) I can barely see the difference even with a fresh battery. It's most noticeable indoors in a small hallway with white walls.
Yet, I have an Ultrafire that is rather average with one AA and when you put in one 14500 the increase is very noticeable. I doubt that it's increasing more than 100% so I find it hard to believe that the 100-200 lumen setting on my H51's is real. The output is more focused however.
What do some of you other H51 owners think?
