My H502c is so old that it doesn't even have the "ribs" on the outside of the tube... My H52Fw is also "smooth walled"... I assume they are both very early production models. I prefer this style.
My H502c sits on my nightstand, in a little wood-block holder I made to make it more stable... almost every evening, I turn it on to the 0.04lm mode before it gets dark... then when I go to bed there is just enough light to navigate and I can turn it off from bed. If I need to navigate in the middle of the night, I turn it on to 0.04 and sometimes wall-bounce the 2lm mode if needed... I replace the AA every few months (or less frequently).
I travel with the H52Fw and use it in a similar manner where ever I am staying... especially useful since I don't always know where the lights are and the light sources are usually way too bright anyway.
It appears the H52w and Fw are no longer available and the other H52's are being clearanced... which means there will be soon be no AA-sized ZL headlamp that can hit 500 lumens? That's a shame...
