When Zebralight will be bringing back cool white versions of their lights???

I emailed them a couple of weeks ago and got a vague answer. Anyone else hear what's going on with this and when a H600 / H52 / H32 / H302 will be offered in cool white? I can't stand neutral and that's all that is available now. Nothing is even listed in the zebralight comparison page for anything cool white.

Seriously, no comments? Am I the only one waiting for cool white here?

I was hoping they would bring back their red versions. I did notice the H51r is back on sale for US customers only. Under the discontinued products. Seriously thinking about picking one of those up before they are gone.

No youre not.
I too am checking their website.
I prefer using ZL cool white to neutral.

You are not alone.

When I see neutral and warm written to me it just says yellow and not as bright.

Cool white is all I need, hurry up Zebralight!

thank God, I thought I was the last person thinking this.

Have you used a Nichia 219 4500k? Do you think it is yellow when used outdoor? I have a lot of Eagletac NW lights, and these are not yellow to me when used outdoor, but I have other NWs with lower color temperature that appears yellow/orange. With the high color temperature Zebralight have chosen for their latest NW lights, I'm not so sure it will appear yellow when used outdoor.

How recent? I had a H31w just because of the hype and I hated that sickly yellow almost incandescant coloring which to me was the opposite of why people liked LEDs in the first place; a whiter white tint. Needless to say I returned it to GOingGear and had him send me a cool white version that I have been very happy with ever since.

I saw pics of comparisons of H600w, H602W and an older H600 cool white on this forum a few weeks ago and from all the pics it showed the same kind of dimly lit incandescant look that I cant stand. The cool white appeared more focused and clear, which is what I prefer and strangely I would think everyone should prefer that as well.

Just checked again right now on Zebralight's Spreadsheet from the link in my signature, and it now lists the H600, H600F, H602, H52F, H32F, H32, H302 available in 10/2013. There are only 11 days left in this month. Will they be up for pre-order at least by then? Take your bets... Strange there was no listing for a bog blasted H52, not that I care as I will get the flood version.

Between cool white, neutral and daylight, I like daylight best.
Best is zebra keeps all the combos available.

My first two Zebralights were cool whites. I sold both. I found the tint on both were the worst I've ever seen in a cool white. Even worse than my "blue" Rayovac Indestructible. Since their XM-L2 neutral whites are puke green/yellow, I'm very tempted to try another cool white after 2 years and see if they're any better.

Not the same experience as I have, the cool white H600 (bought in 2013) I have is very nice for being CW.

2013 is pretty close to my 2 years waiting, so maybe they've improved.

Cool white here. All of my lights are cool whites. I find the cool white tint more pleasing in my eyes.

I.agree.with.you.Don.Guapo.

But 6300K [of new H52 c-w] is beyond cool-white. One needs to get way under 3500K to match incandescent/halogen.
I suggest for anyone that they find out what vitamin/trace mineral/essential fatty acid that you are deficient in? Don't bother to ask an ordinary MD, because most have never taken more than a token class in medical nutrition. Hell 95% of this country is deficient in iodine. All the halogens in the water supply help to see that. The very small amount of iodine in salt is enough to prevent goiters, nothing more.

LOL! 6300K is pretty insane. I think if the "cool white" and "neutral white" battle didn't exist, a 5000K would be a nice compromise.

I was watching some YouTube videos of LED interior lighting. 5K was cool, 4K was neutral, 3K was warm, 2700 was 'extra warm white'.
TCP sells some BR30 bulbs, and they offer a 2400K, wow. (and not the special kind of dimming=lower CCT)

I understand that some people have experienced more yellowing of the eye from age/and or UV exposure, or just random human variation. So, for them a 5000K would appear the same as a 4000K.
There just needs to be clarity and honesty in the flashlight world.

Yes, that would be Zebra's daylight. I hope Zebra continues to make them
