Zebralight SC600 MKIII HI BUY IT!

Candle Power Flashlight Forum

Help Support CPF:

I always buy from ZebraLight direct and have never had any problems.

I have bought seven lights from them over the years without even one issue.

The new SC600 MKIII is a great little light as I have the first issue then the MKII and now the MKIII.

The SC63 gets too hot in my hand and have put it aside for the moment.

I have some models of the SC52 as well but running on 14500 batteries to get more light output the batteries don't last all that long.



CHEERS

Oh OK thanks. I actually like that Amazon gives the 30 day money back guarantee however after 30 days you may well be out of luck. Most flashlights and batteries that I buy that break do so in the first 30 days. I would never return anything overseas.

ZL has 30 money-back guarantee as well. It works; I used it once.
 
If you buy from the manufacturer you get the latest version. The initial releases, as we have all observed, can have issues. Especially Armytek, where you are almost guaranteed not to get what you ordered if you buy from a distributor

Because a lot of times Amazon, or the dealer selling through Amazon, is not an authorized dealer and you can get screwed if you need to rely on the warranty.

The people selling is on Amazon are Authorized dealers. Zebralight would warranty it anyway regardless.

And you know this how?

My statement was a general one nut just for ZL lights. There are many products that Amazon sells that once the Amazon money-back return expires you have no further coverage back with the company because they are not an authorized seller. This applies to tools, beauty products, electronics and many other items. You need to do your research before pulling the trigger if warranty support is important to you.
 
Yes, please don't be fooled, there are definitely grey market and even counterfeit goods on Amazon. Items warehoused and fulfilled by Amazon have it even worse due to a practice called co-mingling. Yes Amazon does a good job of helping customers who have issues but those issues have to be discovered quickly after the sale. I buy a lot from Amazon (not usually flashlights though), I'm even a Prime member, but you have to be careful there.

Because I have dealt with it first hand. We're talking about Zebralight in this thread. Not other companies.
 
And Zebralight is different from other brands/items because....?

You act as if there's no way grey market zebras could be out there. They are, and buying from Amazon raises your chances of encountering them. Not saying it's guaranteed, just that's it's much more likely than when buying from a known authorized dealer or direct from Zebra.

I would NOT worry about "grey market" Zebralight. C'mon. Zebralight is a small company that is very easy to deal with. I bought one on ebay once and they warrantied it just fine. Purchasing it on Amazon is fine. I'm not disputing your claims that some manufacturer's will not honor items purchased from "unauthorized sources". I am an online seller/distributor myself.

Amazon is a good choice FOR THIS LIGHT if you don't want to wait and don't mind spending a little extra. The price is a bit higher due to seller fees and banking off the fact that ZL and other sellers are backordered. Also, Amazon has VERY strict metrics that it's sellers have to abide by and it's generally true when a seller claims items in stock. Otherwise they get dinged with a performance hit from Amazon. There are several other benefits to purchasing on Amazon that I will not go into here.

Here is the return policy BTW http://www.zebralight.com/Returns-and-Refunds_ep_42-1.html not really seeing anything that says "You must buy from an authorized dealer". These lights don't even have serial numbers (like ALL Fenix after 08 do). They just want proof showing the date of purchase to ensure it's within the warranty limits. They don't check too hard on that. Trust me, they're busy enough as it is. It is a common deterrent mechanism. :)

I searched Amazon and don't see this light listed for sale.

Shoulda pulled the trigger faster. Looks like the seller that had it on Amazon just ran out of stock! The listing gets temporarily removed from Amazon until the item comes into stock again.

I wish the SC600 series had the same clip style as SC52/62. This is helpful. Thanks.

If there is any downfall to this light, it's the clip. It's still a great value for the price - and clips aren't for everybody. I never used to be a clip person until I got a couple of serious hot pocket incidents.

I see a lot of people complaining about the pocket clip on this light. Since I don't have one myself yet, I can't really investigate why...
I love reversible clips though, and have had zero issues with the clip on my O-light S10R-II, which superficially seems very similar.
On my Quark X AA2 and G25C2-II (both screwed-down ring clips), I've had to occasionally adjust spring tension, though.
So what exactly is wrong with the clip?
 
My only issue with the clip is that it clips onto the body rather than being retained by screws. I've found that clips like this aren't very strong. If you clip the light onto the outside of a pocket or belt and brush up against something strong enough it is possible to pull the clip from the body of the light.

Different users, different uses, I guess. I mainly use the clip for hat mounting. :)
Most screw-clip lights have the clip pointing in the "wrong" direction for me. The Quark was unusual in that sense, with its reversible body.
