I asked ZebraLight if they planned on offering and updated SC60. In my opinion, the SC60 form factor is perfect. Perfect size, perfect clip...hopefully they'll offer it with XPG2w too.
My SC60 now has 15,800+ hours of runtime!

"Yes, we do have a plan for SC62. It will share the same lens, reflector, etc with the SC52/SC32. There will be SC62d and SC62c (these small rebels are bit too small for an SC600 size light)."

This is great new! I love my SC60w, considering it uses an 18650 it's quite small. SC62d here I come!

Help me understand: what will an SC62 be?

I assume it would be a straight flashlight (not angled headlight) run off an 18650 cell, with an XML in a reflector for spot and spill.

But isn't that just what the SC600 is already?

The old SC60 used an 18650 and an XPG, and a different reflector. Then it got upgraded to the SC600 with XML.

So is the thought that the SC62 would have a new circuit, or what?

The SC60 is quite a bit smaller than the SC600. Some people who find the SC600 too large for EDC might be happy with an SC60.

Thanks, Fireclaw18.

So it will have a smaller reflector and head than the SC600.

Okay, that also explains the quote from the ZL rep in the OP:

"...There will be SC62d and SC62c (these small rebels are bit too small for an SC600 size light)."

I was puzzled by that at first, but now I get it:
the rebel LEDs are too small for the reflector of an SC600, but they are not too small for the smaller reflector of the SC60/62 series.

This is good news. The SC600 is a great light, but it's chunky. I would like the SC600 more if it was the size of the SC60 (easier to edc.)

I hope it is the same style as the sc80 but uses an 18650. Oh, and yes - use the XPG2.

How do the high CRI rebels in the Zebralights compare to the Nichia 219? I just got my first Nichia 219 with 4500k 92 CRI led and I'm extremely impressed with the tint and color rendition.

I will buy SC62 only if it has memory of last used mode like Olight S20 I have.
I also have SC600/SC600W/SC52, but I don't like to press and hold to access Zebralight's M2 mode that I constantly and frequently use for indoor lighting, especially for the very stiff switch of SC600/SC600W/SC52.

Then you won't be getting an SC62. Zebralights have a very elegant and useful interface, but that interface doesn't have mode memory except within each mode group.

FYI, Zebralights' have 2 different ways to reach medium mode: One option is you can press and hold from off. The light will turn on in low, and then move to medium after a second or so. However, there is a faster shortcut: double-click from off to immediately get to the medium mode group (and within each group there is mode memory). The one disadvantage with this method is the light will briefly flash to max before going down to medium.

If you want a light with an interface like an Olight S20, you're better off just sticking with your S20, even though the SC62 will have probably twice the output without the puke green tint.

I don't have an S20, but I do have an S10. I much prefer my SC52's interface to the S10. But I could see how with a few improvements the S10's interface could be almost as good (with the S10 they should remove mode memory from moonlight mode, and they should change double-click mode to max power rather than strobe).

I think Olight S20 has better UI than that of Zebralight's SC62/SC52/SC600.
Just for reference, Olight S20 UI is shown below :
