    It is the 12 levels of the G5 mode. That are the ones meant by "available" lumen levels. You can just assign these to any level (L1, L2, M1....) you like. So for the SC5w Mk II for example the data of the lumen levels is 0.09, 0.33, 1.1, 3.2, 8.6, 21, 46, 92, 166, 274, 407 and 550 lumen.

    Thanks for your assessment! Both should be ok for me. Although I would also prefer the 0,01 lumen mode as an additional option.

    Did you already compare the lowest low of the 64c to that of the 64w? What is your impression, especially compared to the 0,01 lumen level of former ZLs ?

    The Official Zebralight Thread

    The less efficient conductor only influences the required current draw from the battery (and thus the runtime), but not the LED current which is regulated by the driver. Anyway I think the difference will be relatively small and only be relevant (if at all) at max power levels. Just to do the...

    Zebralight SC64c

    Thank you! Just to avoid a misunderstanding. I did not mean to compare the two LED at different power levels but at the same power level for each (just a lower one within the spec of both). But I think you don't need to invest too much time into this. Apparently we agree that (within typical ZL...

    Zebralight SC64c

    At 5A you are quite overdriving the Nichia. Even if that might be ok with proper cooling... Zebralight generally does not operate their LED above max specification (if I understand their philosophy correctly). So in a 'real world' ZL the 219c would be driven with around 5 Watt on max level and...

    According to some pictures linked in the SC64c topic the SC64x lights have a tailcap spring and five instead of three pogo pins.

    Zebralight SC64c

    If I remember the data sheet of the 219c correctly it is not less efficient than the XP-L2 but just has a much lower maximum power and output. Edit: The 219c with an CRI of 93 emits around 250 lumen at 2,1 Watt. That's about 120 lumen per Watt. An average bin XP-L2 high CRI LED offers 360...

    Zebralight SC64c

    I am fine with the new clip (probably, have to see and use it in real life). Two members here complained about it (talking about the "small" SCxx series with screwed on clip, not the SC600 series with its completely different clip attachment). You can see the new clip in the accessories on the...

    If you dislike the new clip that much... perhaps it makes sense for you to organize an omnibus order (is that really a common phrase?)?! NKON seems to have the old clip available and there is a special website for non-EU residents with prices excluding VAT. https://ru.nkon.nl/

    Zebralight SC600w IV Plus

    The SC52w has a minimum output of 0.01 lumen. That's 2000% of the SC600w IV Plus minimum output.

    Battery fit issue on new Zebralight SC600w Mk IV HI

    I exactly had the same thoughts and was not happy. But as far as I understood it now, ZL did not choose the pogo pins to make the light a few millimeter shorter (this was just a nice side effect) but to generate more output and less heat (especially in the new high drain 10 to 18 Watt Led...

    Within the new UI you have the alternative mode groups G6 and G7. Within these you can assign any of the 12 available output levels to all L, M and H main- and sublevels. That is the most important benefit of the new UI.

    Zebralight H600/H604/H600F MKIV headlamp

    The driver is not the 'problem'. ZL consciously decided to raise the available minimum settings for a more balanced stepping between all levels. For the SC64c they already lowered the lowest low from 0.12 to 0.05 lumen as a response to moaning CPF members ;).

    To Zebralight

    Most of their ligths have at least one available output level of around 300 lumen (if that does not break the deal for you compared to 250 lumen?). And with the new UI you can easily assign this output to the M1 or M2 level.

    Zebralight SC64c

    Did you already write them? I am not a fan of whining and bothering manufacturers... but as ZL always has been quite supportive and listening to customers I think the more users write them asking for the option of really low low modes the higher is the chance they might change it (perhaps even...

    Zebralight H600/H604/H600F MKIV headlamp

    The H604c (and H604d) use a different LED (XHP50.2) than the H604w (XHP35). Therefore the given data makes sense as the XHP50.2 can be driven much harder (up to 18Watt) than the XHP35 (limited to about 13 Watt).

    Zebralight SC64c

    Look at my updated post above. ZL already answered: "We'll look into this, again, in the next 2-3 days (right before the production begins next week.)" Regarding potential technical reasons (my personal point of view, ZL did not mention anything about it): ZL already offers the XP-L2 in other...

    Zebralight SC64c

    I already wrote to ZL before posting here and asked, if there is a technical reason for the much higher L2 lows. And I told them how useful I found the two <0,1 lumen levels the SC62w offered. In the past ZL fullfilled a lot of wishes flashlight enthusiasts had, be it the multiple option of beam...
