Hi all,
I hope you can help. I'm looking for a significant upgrade to my Zebralight SC600 MKI but I'm really struggling to find something that fits the bill. I love the beam of the SC600 (decent spot with wide spill) but need more throw with a brighter output to light up the rural environment where I live. I also have a Olight X7R which is fun but the pop can format isn't working for me and I need more useable throw.
The following characteristics are important to me:
I hope that's enough info and I'd be really grateful for any suggestions.
Many thanks, Adam.

The following characteristics are important to me:
- Online purchase - I'm UK based
- Budget - around $300 but flexible
- Size wise - I can certainly go bigger/longer than the SC600 but I find 4x 18650 too big
- Multi-level with a turbo/burst to 5000-7000 lumens would be nice
- Usable throw to 150-200m with decent spill (I know it's not a thrower but the X7R claims 300+m and in reality, I find it usable to about 100m)
- Equally happy with a built-in rechargeable battery or 18650s but would like a built in charger (I love the USB-C on the X7R)
- I would prefer premium off-the-shelf manufactures but would consider a custom build
- Reasonable (3-5hrs) runtime on medium (around 1000 lumens) would be fine
- Body mounted switch like the SC600
- No need for strobe, SOS etc but a moonlight mode would be nice
- IPX8 would be nice but not essential
I hope that's enough info and I'd be really grateful for any suggestions.
Many thanks, Adam.
