    XKCD: flashlights

    Re: Today's XKCD Yay! CPF&XKCD FTW!!!!! Flashlights WERE dim when I was a kid, at least the ones I had access to.

    Zebralight SC52 Owner's Thread

    Are they available for sale (can't find them) or they just send you one as courtesy?

    Zebralight SC52 Owner's Thread

    I bent the clip twice since december just by wearing it hanging on the inside in jeans pocket. Pity because I really liked it thet way and now I keep it just in my man purse. Otherwise no problems.

    I see you rotate your lights and sell/gift them so yes that might suck. However, for other people "character marks" are actually welcome (not to go to the other extreme and beat your light to see how much it can take, that happens too here...).

    Zebralight SC52 Owner's Thread

    I don't have any dent on it and I have it since the first preorders went out. I worry more that it would damage some floor tiles if it falls on them "just right". Funny thing just as I was writing this there was some commotion about some insects getting in the house. Long story short the SC52...

    Zebralight SC52 Owner's Thread

    The light is still great and the "go to" light for everything (have it since December). Anyone knows of a red filter that would fit?

    Need a light headlamp

    I have a Preon Revo S2 for keychain (although it's been bumped by the SC52), I used it with a baseball cap, works great but thing is I don't use one much. I know the Photons for a long time but never owned an "original" one (still you can't get one in Europe for less than $15+ no matter where is...

    Need a light headlamp

    The headband looks good, I assume we're talking about HB02 and the idea is to use the top loops.

    Need a light headlamp

    I tried to use the SC52 as a headlamp for a while but is just not working with any headband I tried. Also I think the "H" lights from Zebralight won't cut it for me (I wear glasses), I have an older Princeton Tec Vortec that's just perfect because it will stay a bit further from the forhead and...

    Sadly I can confirm that. 0.122 mA on LiIon. Still, that's about 10% per month, still usable. SC52 is the first light I'm taking on 2 weeks trips without spares and without charger. Of course I can still use normal AAs but never needed. NiMh eats about 0.022 mA, combined with higher mAh...

    Zebralight SC52 Owner's Thread

    When you insert the battery there's a short burst of light and probably some power is used as the light "reboots". But probably this isn't it; I think the way would be to measure directly the current, maybe over a long time (in case it does something extremely sneaky as waking up periodically...

    Unless I miss something completely SC52 isn't angled so it needs a much more complicated mount for what I want. I'm considering duct taping it to a gopro head mount camera but I would like something similar and standalone.

    Zebralight SC52 Owner's Thread

    Got mine for a while, people comments range between "no way I'll pay that money for a light, I can't even smack a bear (or a badger) with it" and "I really really want one, please where can I get it" (from people who don't know the price). I'm slowly using it both over the smaller and the...

    specifications for zebralight protected cells

    I've got a ZL584 and I can't find any specific documentation about how to charge it. It is also my first protected cell. I have a bunch of LiIon chargers and they do work (more or less) fine but I want to know exactly what are the manufacturer recommendations for this cell. Also I'd like to make...

    Zebralight SC52 & SC52w

    Can you tell us when you ordered? US probably needs to wait longer to get them first to TX.
