ZebraLight XP-G to Philips LUXEON Rebel HCRI

When will the HCRIs propagate through the rest of the line?
I'm most interested in an SC60c.
The SC60 carries great clipped to my front left pocket.

I've been EDCing an SC60w for going on 4 months and it has over 3300 hours of runtime to date.

"I've been EDCing an SC60w for going on 4 months and it has over 3300 hours of runtime to date."

Just curious as to how you know this.

I never turn it off except to change batteries. I'm over 3700 hrs now. I average running 3 cells per day down to ~3.8 V. I want to see if light output or color changes after so many thousands of hours of being on.

Zebralight posted here that "All models with xp-g emitters will have a 'c' version in the future."

Well I heard from Lillian this morning.

"No production plan for an SC60c in the near future."

Lillian did not say the SC60c would never be produced. I think she would have if that were the case...

There is a significant difference between:

• "No production plan for an SC60c."
• "No production plan for an SC60c in the near future."

Also, "in the near future" is very subjective; could be days, weeks, months, next year...

Forever the optimist,

I think so highly of my SC60w that I have a spare.......and that I need a backup to my spare. What if I accidentally drop my "precious" into the shredder or kiln at work. I'd have no backup then. I wanted to try a HCRI, but if they won't be available until next year, I'll order another one soon.
....and then there's the SC600w, H502w, and H600w.....I might have to sell a gun to finance my ZebraLight habit.

Even if the SC60 goes to a high CRI, I doubt it will be the same Rebel emitter. That emitter can only put out so many lumens, and that's been done already with the SC51c. There's no point in putting that emitter in an SC60, except maybe the longer run time. It can't really get any brighter. They would probably go to an xpg if they did.

My SC51c gets pretty warm already and I only run it at the 80 lumen level.

Have they said which emitter they're using? Looking at the data sheets I'm assuming it's LXM3-PW51.

How did you calculate to get 3300 hours out of 4 months? The most I calculate is 2976 hours using 31 days in a month.
