Zebralight H31

[Stefano]

Sorry but I write with a translator online.

I saw on the site Zebralight discount prices. (Headlamp)
I have many headlamps Zebra (H600 - H502 - H51 and H51w) but I never had H31.
I'd like a H31w
Can someone tell me what kind of beam has this Zebra?
Similar to H51?
An Italian user wrote to me that this light is throw (?) but I know that as a rule are always Zebra flood ..
Someone who has Zebralight H31 Headlamp and other can tell me his impressions of the light beam?

Thanks

Same light as a H51 only uses CR123 battery. I now own 3 H31s and 2 H51s. Great lights and with the clearance price, it is wise to buy one while they last, because once they are gone, they are gone for good!

Thanks for the reply!
I'll take a H31w

...with the clearance price, it is wise to buy one while they last...

You know, when I saw the clearance prices, I had that reaction, too. (Esp. because I have never owned any of the CR123 series ZLs, and they look so cute!)

But then I wondered, "why exactly *are* these on clearance, and for such an attractive price? Are they coming out with something even more attractive next week? Will I feel like a fool when I spend my money on these older ones, and then want the newer ones that are just about to arrive?"

So I would love to hear from anyone who is in the know--or even has heard rumours: what is going on at ZL? Why are they discounting these lights so much? Is there any downside to grabbing them right now? What's coming in the future? How far off is that future?

It is no secret that there will soon be new models.
This discounted price is a confirmation that this happens soon.
I do not know if there will be a H32, I wrote a Zebralight asking for information but still have not been answered.
The low price makes me want to buy, even if a new model comes out I will have no feeling of wasted money, I was always good with this brand and never any trouble.
It 'a well built light that can accompany you for many years.
When the new model comes out we will be forced to buy .. I'd really like a H52w

@ Beacon of light
I have four new rechargeable batteries RCR123 - two Tenergy (3V) and two AW protected RCR123 750mAh (3,7V)

Which of these two batteries is recommended for use in Zebra H31 without risk to the torch?
Thanks

Does anyone know more details about what the new models will be like? Where can I read about this?

After I ordered my H31Fs last week I sent Zebralight a message asking them when or if the H302 or H32 will be coming out, and they said they have heard nothing about this, which to me means it isn't even on the horizon. I sure hope they don't phase out CR123 lights as I prefer them for the ultra small size and lightweight nature.

The lights that are for sure coming out is the H52 which is a AA battery type and the H600 and H602 which are 18650 battery types.

I use Tenergy 3.0v LiFePO4 cells just fine. I also have used a RCR123 Ultrafire 880 3.7v protected cell but it got stuck in my H31 when I first got it, so not sure if the AW cells might be too snug since they are protected. The Tenergy WILL fit without a doubt.

There is no risk using 3.0v or 3.7v cells, the only concern is if it fits or not and unfortunately it is trial and error. I was just on Fast Tech and browsing their RCR123s and what is up with all the TrustFire, TandyFire, MonkeyFire, DragonFire, UniqueFire etc etc.? Are these all the same with just different wrappers? Seems like they have different prices depending on the name but the ones I used from the get go were Ultrafire and they have been reliable for years. Never heard of FancyFire or several of the other ones. What gives?

On the site Zebvralight for the moment discounts relate to a few models (H51 and H31)
H600 did not discount.
This perhaps may mean that new H52 will be sold before?

 

[Stefano]

There is no risk using 3.0v or 3.7v cells,

This seems like good news.
It means that I can use all four batteries, good thing because I read that the 123 rechargeable have a shorter duration on the H31.
Strange though that Zebralight on the site does not indicate a voltage range allowed.

Please consider that the planned dates are not always reliable.

Same as a H51 only uses CR123 battery. it is wise to buy one while they last, because once they are gon.

Fortunately it appears that the H32 will be coming out later this month. I love my H31w and almost bought another before they run out.

Edit
Thanks to Zebralight for H31w :)

So much for being gone for good. It looks like they're selling the H31w again, this time with an XP-E emitter rather than with the XP-G. Shipping from China for $49.00

Unfortunately it looks like the H32 release has been pushed back again. Web site shows November, but you won't catch me holding my breath.

I want to thank the customer service Zebralight.

This summer I bought a H31w, when she arrived at the destination I discovered a flaw in the thread.
I contacted customer service who answered quickly, they sent me a new H31w at no cost to me.
The new H31w is perfect as all the Zebra previously purchased from me.

Many thanks to the company Zebralight and also to its customer service (Lillian Xu)
