New Zebralight H31

[NickBose]

Can something similar (> 200 lumens) be done with AA battery? (Not sure, my Nitecore D10 is 130 lumens and people say it's the brightest single AA) I love ZebraLight minimalist design and would buy one straight away if it's AA (I already have the H30)
One thing I notice though: the switch lifecycle of my H30 is listed at 1 millions click while most later ZebraLight switches are listed as 200 thousand only - why?

The new Lumapower 500 lumen Signature comes first but the AA version of this light is SOOOO next on the list.

I love it.

Probably have to sell a light or two first though.

Once they offer an 18650 or AA version of the reflectored ZL's, I'll be the first in line!

Looks great!

+100
also with neutral option

I don't think there is much of a holdup really. Their site clearly says Estimated Availability will be late March or early April.

I guess we have to wait until then. But I too am ready to send some monay!

I was wondering the hold up for the pre-order. All the new flashlights had more pre-order time open, this one has yet to have the buy activated.

They told me it was due to time off for the Chinese New Year. After the holidays, they would begin production, shipping, etc.

If the H31 is anything like the SC30, this headlamp is going to be incredible. After using the SC30 for a month, I am beyond impressed. I am going to be one of the first to buy the new H31 when it becomes available.

I sent an inquiry to Zebralight last night about availablilty and pre-orders. Per Lillian Xu, lights will be available "the end of April", and pre-orders will be taken "soon". Now you know what I know.

So how many of you are going to buy this as soon as it is released? I am considering waiting to see if they make a warm version. What do you guys think?

 

[FroggyTaco]

Waiting for the h51 & SC50(maybe)since I have 8 Dura loops that need some loving!

Pre-orders for the H31 are being taken NOW! I just ordered mine.

It states that the estimated ship date is April 15th.

I'm also waiting for the h51, as I only have AA (and AAA) powered lights. I really hope the h31 delivers on its promise though, it looks like a winner.

Me too! Can't wait to to replace my old headlamp with this one on a trip to Yellowstone.

 

[chuck614]

Just pre-ordered mine, too. Thanks for the heads up.

Can't wait to see the reviews and impressions. According to the specs, spill, beam, and throw? are identical to the flashlight version.

I just send ZL an email asking if they are planning to do a run of H31W's..

I want to buy this light REAL BAD but will probably wait to hear back about if they will offer it in a warm version.

I might even order 2!

I love the UI of the SF minimus, but sold it as I used my ZL's so much more and prefer the beam of ZL's over the SF minimus.

I think the H31 (and hopefully H31W) will be awesome lights!

 

[f22shift]

is there any beamshots existing of the new h31?

They should look exactly like the SC30 & SC30W since they both use the same reflector as the H31.:thumbsup:

According to the specs, spill, beam, and throw? are identical to the flashlight version.

But the H31 uses an xp-g, where the SC30 uses an xp-e.
The distribution can't be the same, unless different reflector.
You want throw in a flashlight-you will get that because of the much smaller die of the xp-e [ez900 generation2 ?]
You want flood in a headlight-the xp-g will oblige.

 

[psychbeat]

I thought the new zebra flashlights used the XP-G
as well?

Id preffer the 18650 version but
might jump on the H31 if it seems like a
long wait for an H61

 

[jgraham15]

Just pre-ordered my H31! Can't wait to get it!!!!!

 

[bobisculous]

H31w is now available for pre-order on their site. Says it will be available a few weeks after the H31
