Perhaps a new thread would have been better... In any case the Xtar VP2 is an excellent charger for a very reasonable price.
 
How waterproof is the sc600 mk iii hi? The site says 2 meters for 30 min but then only IPX7 vs IPX8. I've seen other lights that say 2 meters but IPX8 instead of 7. For example I've seen videos of the nitecore srt7 being used to dive and it is rated at 2 meters and IPX8.

So what is it for the mk iii hi? Is it waterproof, and could it be used underwater?
 
Remember the unprotected high drain battery. Even if it can it shouldn't
 
Unprotected high drain batteries are not more susceptible to catastrophic failure by being immersed in water than protected cells.
In fact I would wager that protected cells have more possible points of failure due to the electronics & the extra conductive path involved.

That being said the ZL's IPX rating suggests that it is meant to survive a short accidental immersion in water and not much more.
The weak spot is obviously the electronic switch cover thingy, the tailcap and the lens should be quite water-proof.

Just a heads up. If anyone is having trouble finding one of these in the UK/EU, please PM me.
 
Very very bad influence guys. I just ordered one. Now you are happy! My initial thought was to get mh20gt since I love mh20 and more throw is great. Then I read all 9 pages here and realized I love my sc600 mk I too and I still use it every night as a night light. So MK III should serve me well. Thanks for all the helpful information and thoughts anyway! :)

They're hard little lights to resist :) I have to say the Mk3 HI is definitely my favorite of the 18650 variants and maybe favorite overall due to its excellent balance of throw while still maintaining great spill and tint. Combine that with the fact it can run on turbo for a long time before heating up along with the compact size makes it the perfect light imo.
 
What is the ballpark time from ordering to delivery?

I have acquaintances in the US at the moment, for about the next 5 weeks. Wondering if I should just bite the bullet and proceed.
 
If it is longer than 5 weeks I'm kinda up 'n certain creek with only my hands for propulsion.

3 weeks to have my replacement sent to me. Instead of replacing the faulty tail cap, they just sent a whole new light

Great...I just sent them a mail regarding my faulty tail cap...I was hoping that they would just send me a quick tail cap...3 weeks!?!?

That's weird! But I've seen it before. They either don't update the website quickly, or fulfill outstanding orders and don't have enough left over to sell online.
