Is anyone else feeling left in the dark on why Zebralight has not released even ONE new light over the last TWO years? They have released multiple new lights every year prior to 2019, then after the SC700Fd, Nothing.
The only thing that has changed since then (that I know of) is they have ceased to ship outside the USA.
The "A6" entry level TIR optic headlamp has been vaporware for quite some time, along with their possible multi-cell flashlight, which isn't even listed on their product spreadsheet anymore.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts! It sounds like the consensus is nobody knows exactly why ZL has taken a hiatus on new lights but some factors could be:
- LED technological advances have slowed in pace
- Most of the existing form factors are pretty refined, and further changes would require A) significant form factor changes B) significant testing to ensure ZL's remain known for stability/reliability.
- Who cares? It saves us from being tempted to buy another solid light.
