I have removed four posts due to flaming, baiting, and mention of banning, which is not a topic of discussion. Please see this. Further abuses of Rule 4, or any disagreement with the mods action, except by PM's, (Rule 8) will result in further action. Let's keep it appropriate folks, attack the post, not the poster.

just pre ordered mine
so glad i didn't miss this one
the old SC60 is still the best all round edc I have ever had and i still use it every day
even though i own lots of other Zebralights and quite a few latest release lights like the
Nitecore srt 3 and 5 (great lights BTW)
I still use the old SC60 even though it has a noisy pwm I can forgive

Is it the same SC clip?

The description for stepdown just says it goes down. Does it just lower intensity with battery voltage drop?


seems like the same sc52 clip

doesn't seem to have stepdown. 320 lumens could certainly be handled by a host of this size

In my cart and ready to order, but can't decide on this one. Actually, I'm afraid all my other ZL lights will sit idle because this SC62 will make their tints look horrible! May sound dumb to some people, but I know that will happen.

Also, I don't find myself using my SC600w II very often, so I may sell it anyway. Hmmm....

Oh what the hell, just ordered it. Too curious about this Luxeon T emitter!

IMO they should've just added a LuxeonT variant to the SC52 lineup

18650 is just overkill for the measly 320 lumens and the excessive runtime bears this out. though i really liked my SC60 this is just not size efficient anymore in 2014

but if this were 16650 / 2x CR123A i'd be all over it. what zebralight NEEDS to put out is a 2x CR123A flashlight. if i'm packing for a long trip away from the grid i'd rather have 10 pairs of CR123A than ten 18650's (cheaper too)

Exactly why I want it.

Now just need the SC62 CW for us "cool white" folks. I am always excited when Zebralight releases a new light, even if it is not for me :)

I wonder if Zebralight will add their own RCR123/16340 batteries with the upcoming release of the SC32, much like they did with their 14500 and 18650 offerings.

Hm. Think I'll have to pass on this one.

Seems rather large for just 320 lumens. And I don't need a light that goes 3 hours on max. Personally, I'd rather they used an XM-L2 neutral at 2.5 amps and then just had a stepdown after 2-5 minutes. This light would be so much cooler at 1,000 lumens.

Why? Why would you want a 1000 lumen light that only runs for a minute? Why? This cracks me up.

I'm giving it a shot primatily because of the tint. I don't get too caught up in the numbers game. For example, my PD32UEs go from 400 to 740 lumens...pretty much a waste of a mode if you ask me - hardly any difference there.

The tint, UI, physical size attracts me. If this ends up being more floody than throw, another bonus for me.
