Although not as nice as gk's hand made holster, i have found the leather xeno holster works pretty well. I have a couple, one for my HDS rotary and one for the haiku. As the lights are similar in size(with the sc63w), they do work fine with the sc62d/sc63w
No pic with a ZL but to give an idea

Around $10 or so, Hong Kong equipment(HKe) had them for sale

^ holster so smooth, I like that color holster
BTW: I consider betwwen sc64c and sc64w, 900 lumen ,93-95cri and 1400 lumen, cri 80+, should I try it ?

 

[Tixx]

I couldn’t resist, so ordered an SC64c as well. For me, the c vs w is simple:
- w has more lumens, which I don’t need.
- c is high CRI, which I really want
- c is 4000k, which I also really want
- w is 5-step
- c is 2-step

At this rate, it wouldn’t surprise me if I end up with a full set of the c-lights. Not sure I’d need the full set of headlamps though.

Debating this right now myself.

Here you go

The size difference for me is quite noticeable in hand, already the sc63w feels small but does sit nicely. The sc53w if anything does not sit as nice/comfy/natural in hand, imho the sc63 or sc64 in your case makes more sense. Certainly if there is no need for a smaller/lighter flashlight(bedside duty) and could benefit from being a little larger in size(easier to grab, bigger fuel tank).

The sc63 and sc64 are very very compact as is, unless the buyer is uncomfortable with 18650 chemistry or simply prefer AA form/fuel.....................imo 18650 makes far more sense in several ways.

Why have i got a couple of AA ZL's? Well good question as i prefer the 18650 fed by a good way. Well in short i saw them for sale, thought i would try them out, the xp-l2 4000k hi cri really tempted me of the sc5c mkII(not to mention the new UI). Then the sc53w again the 4500k xp-l2 pushed me over the edge(new UI again). Then i do like the design of the sc53w over the sc5c as well.................simple as that. Right now, the sc53w is in my coat, the sc5c in my fleece.

Thanks Ven. I'm going to pre order an sc64c, but am happy with my h600fc III, so perhaps am sc53c will make the $15 shipping more palatable. I already have an sc5c II and h53c.

I do like the sc53w form gunga, but in hand it does feel tiny where as the 18650 just feels more natural for me. I am not a huge fan of AA anyway, so my thoughts are bias some what being honest. The AA ZL's are certainly my fav AA lights i have(maybe 6 or 7 total at a guess).

If you dont have a 63 gunga, then the 64 should become a fav...........tiny tiny light ...........I am really enjoying the 4500k xhp35 beam, bright, floody and nice CT

Some holster pics with ZL this time

Can sit all the way in and use 2nd stud, but i prefer something to grab for ease of use.

Thank you sir, both for the pics and the insight[emoji106].

I too definitely prefer 18650 fuel. So much so, in fact, that almost all my lights and headlamps are 18650 powered. The exception however, is my bedside table light. Currently(for the last couple of years) I have been using an Astrolux A01 with a Nichia 219B SW40 R9050 in it which is an AAA light. I mainly use it on moonlight mode(sub 1 lumen) with just the occasional burst of medium and high so, it lasts for months on a Eneloop Pro AAA. So, I definitely don't need any more capacity. I am very happy with this light for bedside table use and it has one of the best tints available in my opinion but, one thing bothers me, it doesn't stably tailstand. Other then that it is perfect. This is the reason why I am considering the SC53c but, I already have the SC64c and SC600w MK IV Plus XHP50.2 coming so, I might just wait and see how they are first. Then again, it would be nice to have something to tide me over until they arrive[emoji317].

$15? How do you get that option? The cheapest I saw when ordering was $22.95US for EMS.

I guess it varies by country?

Discount(s):	$0.00
Taxes:	$0.00​

Yes. Gunga and I are from Canada. We don't get the free shipping option anymore. On the plus side, international customers orders generally ship a week before US customers for pre-orders so, we will get our lights first(providing a fast shipping option is chosen of course).

 

[TCY]

Some further intel:
H52/H53's pocket clip is compatible with H600 MKIV headlamp series.
MKIV housing does not have any visual updates. A few internal modifications, not our concern.
"A hint of green is possible in a 3-step 5000K "Fd“ light, but very rare in a 3-step 4000K "Fc" light."

Glad I went for the c flavour.

 

[markr6]

The c was crazy yellow IMO. But I'm crazy enough to give it another try. I'm a big lotto player...it's killing me!

 

[TCY]

The 4000K XP-L2 on my H53Fc is a bit yellowish compared to my 4000K 219C D4vn, but it actually appears to be more natural when it's the only light source around. If my upcoming H600Fc has a tint of similar quality I'd be a happy buyer.

Anyone else noticed this?

SC600 Mk IV Plus ... and it's gone. Both from the ZL "featured products" website and from the "ZebraLight Product Comparison" Google doc.

 

[terjee]

Could it have been dropped?
Given apparent preference for W and C type lights, I wouldn’t be too surprised I guess.

 

[gunga]

Yes. Gunga and I are from Canada. We don't get the free shipping option anymore. On the plus side, international customers orders generally ship a week before US customers for pre-orders so, we will get our lights first(providing a fast shipping option is chosen of course).

Ems is $14.95 for me. 2 lights.

How do you get that Gunga? They quote $22.95US EMS to Canada right here at the bottom of the page...

I don't think anything has changed Connor. There is still 30 lights on the flashlight page just like I believe there was the morning they opened the pre-orders.

There was a SC600 Mk IV Plus (XHP50.2, cold white, 2440 lumens) until recently.

I don't recall seeing that model on the fact sheet or the website. I am almost positive there was never more then 30 models on the flashlight page. I think you might be confusing the 2440 lumens for the specs of the 'w' plus on the fact sheet. They changed it to 2300 on the actual model page now though.

 

[Connor]

I'm positive about the removed version, too.
It even has its own thread over at German TLF http://www.taschenlampen-forum.de/threads/zebralight-sc600-iv-plus.59502/
