Re: Zebralight SC60 shipping from China?

China? Really? I got my shipping confirmation yesterday, and the tracking information says:

Arggggg!

I *finally* got my SC60 and I cant get it to fire up with my AW 2600s.

The 2600 flat tops *will* work as-is, correct?

I understand the spring catching on the nubs... you can hear it as you screw down the cap... but nothing... no light...
 
Sadly, same exact situation for me. Just popped in my AW 2600 and nothing.

Very disappointed at this moment.

Picked mine up from the post-office yesterday but haven't had too much of a play with it so far.

Have to admit, it's a very nice light; pretty small for an 18650 powered light, love the low, and the high is very bright. It's quite floody which is a good thing.

Haven't had a chance to compare it with some of my other lights, except for my E1B Backup and the Sunwayled M10R. Not a good comparison as both these lights tend to throw better whereas the SC60 is more flood.

One thing I did notice however, the switch is much more sensitive than the SC30 and SC50. A couple of times I've reached into the pocket and the light is pretty warm since it's been on for a while. Never had this issue with the SC30 and SC50.

Will have bit more of a play with it and compare it to some of my other lights and report back soon.
 
Hi lostinwv and OrezzerO.

I'm looking down the barrel of the SC60 towards the head and the contact seems to be flat, so I'm wondering if a flat top AW 2600 will work at all?

Do you have any other battery that is not flat topped to try, or do you have one of those small magnets about the size of the battery button?

I remember one of the Fenix torches had this issue (I think it was the TK30) and it came with a small connector that you placed on the end of a flat topped battery to make the connection.

Well, not to point fingers but jhc37013 confirmed that the flat top AW 18650s worked in the SC60 in this post; not that I'm upset if that is not the actual case... I can use these flattops in some other light... I'm just confused... and whining b/c it's christmas and I can't play with my new toy.

That said it would be nice to hear from someone else who has tried the AW 2600 18650s in the SC60 or from zebralight to confirm one way or another... I do not currently have any other bats that will fit this light.

I did post the question with their customer service on the website so I guess I'll just be more patient... I really dont like the idea of even *trying* the magnet thing... but I wholeheartedly support someone else doing it!

heh..

Yup, that was a post that I considered when I made the decision to buy this light. I happen to already own a pretty new AW 18650 2600 and I didn't want to have to buy another batt. Bummed.

Those who now have SC60's ......

Does it have any type of RAISED reverse polarity protection ring on the circuit board/battery side ?

It would help to know about that at least .

I'm sorry you guys are having trouble with your 2600's mine works just fine with them. I can see a clearly raised post inside the head for battery contact.

Oh, that's not good. The switch on the other SC models is close to perfect.
