Help to understand Zebra H60x series

Can somebody expalin (or point to right link) what are all the models in H60x lineup. What are the differences between h600,602,603 and then all of them have some more letters like: w, Fd,c.... etc

H600 series uses an 18650. The H600 has the traditional hotspot with spill, add the "F" and that is blended for a smoother beam- still has somewhat of a hotspot but reduced throw a "floody" beam.

The 602/603 is a mule like beam- no reflector just a flood light. 03 would be the latest 02 is the previous generation (diff led)

"w" is the warm led about 4500k tint.

"C" is the higher cri led, approx 4000k tint. "D" is also higher cri but approx 5000k tint.

For example H600fc is a headlamp that uses an 18650, is floody and has a higher cri with a 4000k tint.

Stefano has great examples here on the forum and on YouTube, search stefano zebralight.

There is also a spreadsheet on Zebralights website showing the lights grouped with information compared to each other.

H600 MK* : LED + reflector + clear lens, spot + spill beam, good for general usage

H602/3: bare LED with no reflector, "mule", 100% flood, only suitable for close range. 2/3 as in MK2 and MK3.

"F" stands for frosted where a frosted lens replaces the stock clear lens to smooth out beam profile. Floodier than H600 and has more punch than the 602/3. Good all rounder without a defined hotspot.

"w": warm/neutral. In zebralight's definition, 4400-4500K CCT with 75 CRI but ~7% lower output. ZL lights are cool white by default, 6300K CCT with 70CRI.

"d": daylight tint. 5000K CCT with high CRI. Older generation like the H600Fd III have 83-85 CRI while newer ones like the SC600Fd III Plus have 93-95. Much better colour rendition.

"c": even warmer tint. 4000K CCT with high CRI. Older generation like the H600Fc III have 83-85 CRI while newer ones like the H53Fc have 93-95. Much better colour rendition.

Both the stock cool white and "w" neutral white come in a 5-step Macadam ellipse tint variation (unless otherwise specified, all info available in their spread sheet), "d" and "c" have a tint variation within a 2-step Macadam ellipse, meaning beam "colour" are much more consistent across samples and are closer to pure white in general.

H5*/H3*: battery type. 6 = 18650, 5 = AA and 3 = CR123A.

Much better then what I posted. :thumbsup: TCY, I'm going to copy this for future usage if you don't mind.

Hey everyone contributed, use it in any way you wish:wave:

That's great info, it should be a post-it..... well there is no Zebra sub-forum here :thinking:

Thanks a lot!

Excellent breakdown of features. Thanks for schooling me!

To not open a new thread... Is there any news when H60x series will get refreshed? I've seen somewhere that fully programmable UI might be available from Zebra soon? I am not in a rush so, if this will happen fairly soon, I can wait.
Oh and another question, does Zebralights go on sale - Like black Friday/boxing day/whateva...?

No really. The Zebralight site never has sales, except for discontinued models. Other retailers rarely have sales because the margins are so low.
