the details look great.. Looks like it will get free ems shipping also. Bummer 4Sevens have priced themselves out of the ZL market IMO. Shipping will be a bit slower but 20$ is 20$ if ya know what I mean, sorry david...
I do wish he would chime in and let us know why the big price difference. Maybe there is a logical reason for it all. I have to be honest though...I don't think I'd pay $100 for the H60, especially since $80 is already pushing it.
Wow! I like the 2 different low modes (0.5 lumens or 3 lumens), though I'm not too fond of the user interface.The ZebraLight H60 is a high performance all aluminum headlamp. Powered with one 18650 battery, the H60 can produce a maximum of 190 Lumen out the front with a smooth flood beam and can continuously run for 26 days nonstop on its lowest output level. The H60 can be used as a headlamp as well as a task light with supplied accessories.

They haven't been available yet. I've been watching the website every day for the past week or two.
I'm quite happy with the specs. As always nothing is 100% to my liking, but in general this light looks incredible.
As for 4Sevens' site, when you factor in the CPF discount and free shipping the price difference is less than it appears. $85 direct from ZL, $91 from 4sevens. So it's not as bad as it initially appeared, but still six bucks is six bucks.
What makes you believe LiFeP04 won't work?
My guess is they would work though perhaps not give full regulation. :thinking:
Unfortunately I just switched to using LiFeP04 batteries and this doesn't seem to take em. Hopefully as people play around with it different configs could be tested. Maybe it can buck a 6V input for much more flexibility.
The max output should be around 110-130 Lumens. We will finalize the max output
figure from the production batch instead of a few pre production samples. All output
are 'Out the Front' figure. We believe that is more meaningfull than the LED lumens
estimated from current that goes through the LED. We measure the output with our
integrated sphere.
We will not use SSC P7 (we tried), but will use MC-E in our headlamps. We are waiting
for the Cree to have the MC-E produced in large quantity. We do have engineering
headlamp samples with MC-E and 18650, and they are bright!
So what do you think about a 18650 Zebralight with a MC-E? In My opinion the 190lm of the H60 are enough.
