I want a 600 series headlamp, i generally prefer neutral/warm tints but i don't really know why.
I have never tried a flood or floody light having always wanted throw in the past but for a night- time camp and emergency headtorch i am not sure...
I am still confused & undecided.....
I've found the H600W pretty good for night walking, far prefer the wide beam. Normally use in mid mode but in high mode I can easily see 50m+. Started carrying a cheapo LED flashlight ($2.50) with a tight beam for route spotting but primarily it carries a spare cell for the Zebra.

Has anyone in the UK ordered from zebralight.com, and if so, did you get stung for duties?
The orders for the UK are dispatched from China not USA, I didn't get hit on the H600 or H52Has anyone in the UK ordered from zebralight.com, and if so, did you get stung for duties?
This thread illustrates perfectly why I'll likely never own a Zebra.
Zebralight spreadsheet
Filter the columns by choice may help with the decision making.
I would check the accuracy of the data before using it to make purchasing decisions.
I'm still none the wiser, despite starting the thread
My alpkit gamma has showed its Achillies heel at last. Yup, battery compartment. After years of sterling sevice.

All orders outside the US ship from China and like everything shipped from China, mine came with the usual silly price on the customs slip. I can't recall but it was something like 10 bucks...Has anyone in the UK ordered from zebralight.com, and if so, did you get stung for duties?
No no noooooooooooo not that one, that's the wrong one
Feeling a little apprehensive as i have just blown the best part of £100 on a H600w Mk III XHP35 Neutral White and a couple of 18650's
http://www.zebralight.com/H600w-Mk-III-XHP35-Neutral-White-18650-Headlamp_p_186.html
I went for the 80/12 spill in the end as i cant imagine not having a bit of throw and i can rig some kind of diffuser if necessary.
Along with the 2 18650s i already have, i should have a decent complement of lighting/charging
My other forays into 18650's so far were a lumintop prince which was just too fancy for sticking in a rucksack and i did not like the metal button & a blf a6 which i still cannot work the interface on...
Hopefully the zebra light will quench my thirst for an 18650 powered light.
I can't remember if it came with instructions, I just looked at this to get my head around it; http://toykeeper.net/torches/blf-a6/final/blf-a6.txt
FWIW, reprogramming it didn't seem worth the hassle, it's a pretty good setup as is ( is what I told myself when the reprogramming failed ) 1 click on for 1 lumen, longer press for 1200 lumens, or a series of short clicks to cycle through.
The ZL programming can take a bit of getting your head around.
Once you've done it once it's pretty easy to remember though, first try it's tough to get the speed you click right.
As Teepee says the factory settings are pretty much spot on, so it's really only the basic programing that gets used.
Keep finger on the switch, it'll cycle through 3 levels low, medium, high
Take your finger off the switch when you find a level you want
If you then double click you can access another output at that level
99.9% that's really the only programming you'll need to do.
Me Mum has had a SC5 for a year or 2 now, she's a cracking Mum but isn't well known for being able to pick up on technology easily.
She's mastered the SC5 though, so it can't be THAT tough
I recall having a go on your light and i couldnt make it go. I then remember you demonstrating it to @Jacko1066 and not being able to work it yourself
