Zebralight gets a lot of praise for the 600 and 51, but why don't I hear much about the SC80?
Two reasons I can think of:
1. It's too new.
2. They don't offer it in a neutral version yet, so people are holding off their purchase. (Like me.)
Yes, the same with my SC600, it's perfectly normal when doing shorts clicks from off. If it bothers you, try the "press and hold" method (but slower).Do you have a bright h1 flash when trying to get to medium from off?

SC80c AA/CR123A Flashlight 85 CRI is now showing on the ZebraLight page.
What exactly is "High CRI LUXEON"? I noticed a reference to "85 CRI" in another post. How does this relate to the beam itself? I'm in the market for another light, and right now it looks like a toss-up between the SC51 and SC80. Just trying to get as much helpful input as to which light (and kind of beam) as I can.Just got eMail from ZL. Neutral XP-G and High CRI LUXEON now available.

In theory, the 85CRI Phillips Luxeon emitter will have a slightly higher color rendering than the 70CRI Cree emitter. In practice it's unlikely that you'd notice much difference unless you were holding both lights side-by-side and comparing them.
ZL does not like using warm white 3000k emitters - they generally don't offer an LED as an option unless it's > 4000k. Because Cree doesn't have a 4000k+ HCRI option, they offer the Luxeon.
The beam patterns and color temperatures of both will be almost identical, it's more of a question of whether the 10CRI and 200k temperature is important to you.
