(Kinkbmxco) The sc60 will definetly outthrow your your 501 but i am not sure about the romisen. THE SC60 Fullfils all most needs with the exception of maybe a dedicated thrower (DEFT DBS TIABLO AND OTHERS).:devil:
Hats off to Zibralight for jumping on the low low mode bandwagon in their line-up! Hope they sell a bunch.
You people are making me too curious about this light. Can't be buying more lights right now. repeat...can't be...repeat...can't

Edit: I emailed Zebralight, and they confirmed this will accept flat-topped cells.

Will they work?

Waiting for NW and beam shots. 🙂
My first two ZL's (H31w and H501w) got misdirected thanks to USPS today. Bummer. Have to wait another day.

Me too.
I get 67.4 mm with my calipers. I don't think 1 mm is going to make much of a difference if the spring at the tailcap allows it.
Maybe someone with the SC60 can comment? jhc37013?
Yes thankfully flattop does function properly in the SC60, I have been using AW 2600.
Also someone asked about the throw and I went out tonight and checked at my usual spots. The conclusion on high 270lm is 80-90 meters max. At this range you can tell a difference between say a deer or a dog or a blue shirt or a black shirt. The beam did illuminate some tree's at ~130meters but the light was useless at this range.
It's not a thrower but more than makes up for that with the wide hotspot and spill that IMO is best for EDC.

ZL has been shipping out new models right and left lately so I would not be surprised if we see the H61 before the end of the year. Count me in for one as well but in the meantime you should treat yourself to a SC60. I think it's ZL's best light yet, I know being 18650 only will limit potential customers but the light really is all that. I would like to see a 2xcr123 SC model to but I'm sure the regulation on this 18650 is flat out till the end.
Thanks for the response about the 2600s.
I'll be ordering a 61 later if I like the 60 as much as I think I will. I admit I have been avoiding 18650s until this point but realize that will probably not be the last light I'll want to buy using this battery so might as well jump in and enjoy the benefits it offers.
I got a USB charger from cottonpicker that is probably a lot better than the cheap one I'm using today and will charge my 18650s and 123s for my zebra H30 (which is my best light so far).
Anyway, thanks again for the response.

Ok I found one small thing I don't like and it's really nothing against the light but..
I mention in a earlier post that AW 2600 fits fine and well in does however I noticed after changing the battery a few times that while twisting the tailcap the little nubs that stick up on the negative side of the battery interfere with the spring on the tailcap.
This does not hurt the function of the light but it does seems to grind on the tailcap spring pretty good. I would not think this is a good idea to do over a long period of time so I will be sticking to 2200mah and only using the 2600 on occasions when longer runtimes are certain to be needed.
I am not certain how much or if any damage will be done but I thought it was at least worthy of your attention if you plan to use AW 2600.

You could use an electric Dremil tool ....
with a pointed grinding stone .....
to grind down the little nubs on the neg. end .

Thanks TMG I thought of grinding them down but was not sure what tool to use, a Dremil did come to mind. I don't have a Dremil I guess I could buy one and I probably already should have but can you think of anything else that would take them off.

No .... Dremil would be best .
CAUTION : .. if you try using an electric drill with a drill bit ... to drill em down .....
it could easily slip ... AND YOU MIGHT DRILL THRU YOUR HAND !!!
That is not advisable - so don't try it . It can easily happen.
What ever you try - do it slowly and safely - and think ahead ! to what MIGHT happen .

You might buy just a Dremil grinding stone bit, and put it in the chucks of a drill press or hand drill.
Variable speed , low speed would be best.

Thanks for the info TMG, one could also snip off the part of the spring that is rubbing the nubs but I really don't want to alter it.

I agree, plus the runtimes are already so good it's no big deal, when I get around to getting a Dremil I will go to work on it "gently' but for now using the 2200 AW is not going to bother me. This light is way to good to really worry about an extra 400mah. 🙂
TMG did you order one?

Not yet ........................................
I am waiting "patiently" ...
Since I requested Daniel get me one - I'm waiting till he does.
I'm quite sure I will like it , as long as there is no green tint .
And I like wide "wall-filling" floody beams.
Didn't you say yours has a tintless pure white beam ?
