S5200 - it never saw the zebralight of day...

In the annals of history, which thanks to modern technology is readily accessible to anyone who may be interested, Zebralight has left an interesting imprint. I found this using the Internet Wayback Machine.

2xAA!

I would love a flashlight like this... 2 AAs in the right pattern!

holy cow, thanks for that!

I remember that one. About 2 years ago.

I am starting to wonder if the Q50 will go the same way as this one

Why of course it did, I mean will.

I was wondering why nobody came out with such 2*AA design before.

There have been quite a few, over the past three decades.

How many is quite a few? Which ones are they?

I would be good for at least a couple of those if they made them.

i wish someone would make a 4aa light in a soda can config.

Wow that's an ugly render... But interesting 2xAA configuration, and without those colors it would be much less ugly.

@Shooter21: check out the Sunwayman M40A. Quite a nice light with decent throw for a 4xAA. Another option - although not 4 but 3xAA could be the Olight S35 Baton, and I'm still expecting the ZebraLight Q50.

2xAA side by side would be nice. Even nicer would be 2xAA with two leds - bare XM-L + XP-G2 in reflector/TIR. Kind of SC52 + H502 in one body.

I made that... with duct tape
But seriously, that sounds like a very nice camera bag light for me.

Duct tape works too :laughing: but with two batteries in one body you would gain better thermal properties and better energy efficiency. And yes I would want something like that for photography and travel but I would still prefer throwy (or focusable) Q50 for travel.

here's one

Even more of a blast from the past but an interesting light!
