Zebralight informed me that they are coming out with flashlights.

The models are:
SC30
SC30f
SC50
SC50f

Edit: UPDATES

SC30: R2 and R5
SC30f: R2
SC50: R2 and R5
SC50f: R2
H31: R2 and R5
H51: R2 and R5

- All come with side click switches (Panasonic, 300000 cycles).
- UI for the SC30/SC30f:
(similar to the H60) default setting Turbo, Med1, and Low1.
Double click to High, Med2, and Low2.
auto fall back to High from Turbo after certain time
UI for the SC50/SC50f is similar but has not been finalized yet
- runtimes at Low2 is over 2 weeks (final spec will be based on the first production batch)
- type III class I (non-dyed or natual) surface
- 'uni-body' design: the entire body of the light is machined from one piece of aluminum and
acting as a big heatsink for the LED.
You probably know that up till now, a typical flashlight has 3 sections (besides the tailcap)
plus one for the circuit, and the heat from the LED stays mostly in the small middle section,
with its dissipation paths blocked by layters of anodizing surfaces.
- SCHOTT optical glass, AR coated
- (bezel down) clip
- SC30 67mm, SC30f 66mm, SC50 80mm, SC50f 79mm
- SC30 and SC30f fit inside of silicone holders for the H30. You can mix and match SC30,
SC30f or H30 on one headband. A silicone holder will be in the package.


Along with the headlamp H51 and H31 (I think it's like H501/H30 but with reflector).

They said it will come out in ~2 months.

I am so excited! Might be my first buy of 2010!

Obviously an innovative company. Their new lights should be interesting. I wonder if one will be sitting under the Christmas tree this year.

I am really excited about these. Zebralight's anodization quality is second to none. I love my Quarks, but the anodizing sucks. I am excited for the mil-spec HA-NAT!

Win-win for us!! absolutely LOVE my H501. Something like that but in a more traditional flashlight form is just what I am looking for.

Re: Zebralight is going to come out with flashlights!

I know headlamp is ideal for working on the car and around the house. Changing a thermostat in a dark hallway recently using my TK40 as a candle was not the ideal solution. I just can't work up the ambition to buy one. I'm not really handy around the house so I'm not sure I'd use it more than once a year - if that often. More often that not I use my flashlights just for fun. I live on a dark culdesac in the woods without streetlights so flashlight beams look phenomenal here.

Maybe a ZL headlmap with reflector if that is the case for the H51 and H31. I use the H501 or H501w in camp but a H51 for trail work might be nice too. But don't know if I need another flashlight unless it has a higher Bin LED than the Q5.

Re: Zebralight is going to come out with flashlights!

Oh man! That edc look soooo nice. Now I am having a hard time whether to get the edc or the H51 headlamp...

So if it's SC50 = AA model (like H50) and SC30 = CR123 model (like the H30)??

I am thinking the "f" behind the model stands for flood model??

Re: Zebralight is going to come out with flashlights!

Yeah, that's the side click switch -- arguably the best way to turn on a light.


I have seen this argument go both ways. I generally prefer tailcap switches, I have found them easier to service and replace.
