Zebralight H600c Mk IV 18650 XHP50.2 Runtimes?

I am wondering why zebralight doesn't post the runtimes for the H600c Mk IV 18650 XHP50.2?

The H600w Mk IV 18650 XHP35 Neutral White Headlamp is the close alternatve but it is hard to know which light would be the superior light. I value runtime over the slight increase in lumens and higher CRI so if the runtime is the same then the xhp 50.2 is the obvious choice

My bet is that the runtimes and outputs are the same as the SC600w MkIV Plus, which are posted. You'll get higher output and better efficiency with the XHP50.2 light compared to the XHP35 light. You don't get longer run-times, though, because the outputs are higher.

If you could make the output the same, you'd get about 20% more runtime with the XHP50.2, at least according to my own run-time comparisons between the two lights.

Why would anyone buy the XHP35 without it being discounted?

The XHP35 gives you a more throwy beam. It's a different kind of light, not an older version of the XHP50.2 light.

If you want flood, then you may as well get one with a 50.2 emitter.

I see the xhp35 has a 12deg hot spot vs. 17deg for the xhp50.2. Both have 80deg spill.
I prefer some throw over a dedicated floody but the 17deg hotspot might be a happy medium.

Maybe someone else can chime in with their experience?
