Yup, but for some reason your thread almost immediately disappeared :shrug:

Here is another one.

Maybe no one was interested ? :"P

they shouldve made a bike mount. you could just zip tie the rubber bracket to a seatpost though.

i wonder if the ui will eventually make it to the normal one.
there are 2 new modes in the hidden section. which is double click on one of the 3 output modes.

No there was interest, it had responses in it. You can bring it up with the mods if you like, I'm not sure if they removed it for some reason, or there was a software glitch on the forum.

Hopefully they will merge this one with the other thread.

I ordered the light when I saw your post, but it did take them quite a while to ship it, I'm not sure why. Hopefully I'll have it next week.

I'm very interested to see how this one works out. I'll probably just clip it on a head band with a White Zebra light.

Runtimes

Would 4 lumens be bright enough for bike riding?
because 2.4 hours seems a bit short (33 lumen mode)

I can't really answer your question, but I really don't see this as a light for a bike. Current bike lights would probably work better have longer runtime and be more suitable with one of their beacon or strobe modes.

On the rear, get a few reflectors and a bike light with an intermittent or low-high signaling.

I utterly detest blinking, flashing, strobing lights on bicycles.

Picked up my H501R today at the post office. I'm impressed. The .1 lm is plenty to read a chart. 4 lm is plenty to navigate outside with. 33 lm lights a pretty big area.
I'm sure the lowest settings will see the most use for me. Excellent way to protect night vision. Not sure I'll have a use for the flashing modes, but they are un-obtrusive and might be useful.

Twofish lockblocks would work.

My H501R was DOA, and I have not heard back from ZEBRA on a return/replacement and it's been a couple days. I'll have to try and contact them again. Very Sad, maybe Zebra cut the QA team too early.

Contact George from ZL http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/member.php?u=26431

I think he's away though at the moment.

Thanks! I got a response, and actually I had missed an earlier response from them so it was my mistake they had responded. I need to start the wheels rolling to get this fixed. I hate dealing with this kind of stuff.

That should be crazy to try out. I put a red cree in my EOS and due to the DEEP red color of the emitter, it is a trip to use. It lights up white walls quite well but when you go outside, green stuff doesn't reflect anything!

 

[SilentK]

looks pretty epic. i dont think many people realize that you would probably not want more than 33 lumens for a red headlamp. i think i might get one just because i can.

Is the H510R incompatible with Li-Ions (3.7V)? 14500s were mentioned in the specifications of other AA zebras but are not present for H501R.

Please report if you notice a reduced bug attraction while using this.
There is another thread that is discussing this and you seem to be in the position to add some first-hand information.

No one has any beamshots yet?

I wish 4 Sevens had these in stock. I want one, but the shipping times kill me.
