Hey guys. So, after reading countless threads,vids and articles, I think I'm in love with the SC52. But, i think i could use some advice. And, these questions I did not find anywhere in my reading, so I hope you guys can help me know what Im going to expect.
1. First, I see all the threads about greenish tint. I would really prefer a nice neutral white. I don't like cool and not crazy about a warm or greenish tinted one. So, could anyone give me any advice on which model to go for(52 or 52w?) And, ive read that some people are getting the vendors to actually hand pick a good one...? Any ideas on vendors that might go the extra step for a customer to be 100% happy?
2. Im thinking of using the 14500 batts for the extra lumens on H1, but this will be my first 14500 purchase so can anyone comment on a good batt and charger, possibly car charger for this? Will this light step down after only 1 minute even with using the 14500 batteries? It seems quite a short time only to stay on high output, but reading the reviews it doesn't seem like its a problem for anyone really.
3. May sound silly, but I actually prefer the lighter olive green anodizing than the darker greyish ones. Im assuming I can't up the odds to get a lighter color from some vendor out there.....maybe?
And again, thanks very much for all your help. Don't be afraid to yell out any great vendors to get this from. I know IS has them, but i know they are very busy operation so I doubt anyone would have time to pick me a good tinted one. And i know ZL is supposed to be coming out with another light in this class with possibly better tint? Any idea how long till its released? I think i still need one for now anyway!
Oh well, I figured you guys who have had these lights for a little bit now might be able to offer some buying advice. So again thanks.
