You have to be a be a bit of a flashlight geek to fully appreciate the Zebralight interface. Personally I think it's absolutely the best interface out there but you're absolutely correct in that it's not intuitive.

You can tell just by your voice that you don't have the same passion for lights as you do for pocket knives. I'm addicted to your channel. More ask the nick please!!!

Nice job Nicholas.

I love the interface as much as to say I won't buy another brand cus of it. Can get to any level from off in as fast as you can press once for high, twice for medium, or hold 0.6s for low. Gets you to the sublevel last used, like medium 2, which is programmable in it's brightness by 3 different levels. To go from like Medium 2 to M1, just double press. Holding the button will circulate the levels. Tripple for strobe, four for battery, flashing 1-4 times. It's just brilliant and you'll learn it in first day of owning it.

Definitely not a flashlight nerd because although i would agree that they definitely arent "grail" lights, the SC 62, 63, and 64 models ARE indeed "gems" amongst the flashlight community particularly the sc64 w hi, much better tint and beam profile in my opinion than the SC 62 you got there. Main reason to being as you pointed out it was the longest time and possibly still even is the most compact 18650 light available but also what really makes a zebralight "shine" is they're highly efficient drivers that yield excellent run times and brightness to runtime ratios. The thing about it is zebralight is a bit of a "pseudo" American company then they are owned and operated by Americans but I believe all the production work and manufacturing process takes place overseas (china) and it's been my experience that they seem to do most of their work from behind the curtains being as they are very active in the forums or anything like that or even really have any advertising or marketing really whatsoever pretty much relying on repeat customers and flashlight enthusiasts at this point. As I said it's just my experience but I can't recall ever seeing any zebra light Representatives or owners/ employees ever posting anything in any forums or social media platforms, in other words one kinda has to do their homework to really know the features of zebralights, so it isnt too surprising that many people arent aware of their potential. They have an ALMOST HDS like cult following which is pretty impressive for a chinese made flashlight, that in reality is really the complete opposite of a "custom" flashlight. So much so that each variation they release of a certain light they render as individual seperate models and on their website each even has its own product page, something that imo they could probabky do away with and it would definitely cut down on alot of the zebralight model confusion so many zebralight virgins face. Just my 2 ¢, thanks.

I was happy to find this review. I have versions of each of these lights and typically have one of the two in my pocket. I think you overstated the complexity of the interface. It’s different than many other lights but after carrying for a few days, it’s second nature. You actually have six power levels readily available providing good coverage across the brightness range. I actually use the low/low power frequently as it allows me to move about in the dark without disturbing others who are sleeping. The one ugly of both these lights you missed was the heat they generate when on bright settings. It only takes a few minutes on high for the SC62 to get uncomfortably warm on the highest brightness. I’m a big fan of your reviews and value your opinions. Thanks for your support to the community.

Most cities have one or more vape shops and all vape shops sell 18650's and the chargers for 18650's so, there ya go! I have the SC600w II L2. Great light and I agree, the name is a pain. Thank's for the review!

You should definitely check out the SC62W for better color light output. For that matter the SC63W is the new version that's even brighter. Also, you can customize the modes, like you mentioned and the light remembers which mode you left it on for each high, medium and low but ya, confusing interface that takes a while to get used to.

Good Morning Nick! Jim is a Gem. 10/10.

Wait, are you double clicking in each mode? If you double click medium it'll get brighter. Each mode, high medium and low all have secondary modes accessed with a double click

You mixed the caps.

I actually thinked about getting SC62. but went crazy and got LedLenser F1R. 1000 lumens too... and 3 levels. SC had more things about it, but that interface changing light levels was a turn off. You might like it more. High 1000 Medium 250 Low 10. But its batteries last worse.

I admit I have some bias toward Zebralight... I've used them in Afghanistan for 7 actual years boots on ground. Zebralights interface is pretty straightforward... and pretty similar to most lights on the market. Press and hold for moonlight, press and release for the last mode you used, press and hold while on to cycle modes (low, med, high). Pretty basic flashlight stuff. Where it differs is within each mode you can double click to change that particular mode higher or lower (and that held in memory). So... for the example of medium not being bright enough for you; double click and now your medium is brighter and stays that way. They are also available with different color temperature and LED options.

The tailcaps are switched.

Ribbed for your pleasure, oh god

what happened to your hand?

the gap between high and medium was already a deal breaker

The 600 series seems to get the most problems. I'm Not a fan of 18650 lithium-ion flashlights.

You are not really familiar with the UI, it has levels and sublevels without the programming...

You described each mode (and the gaps in between) as if there were only 3 (L M H), when in fact, there are many more sub-modes among each main mode that can be reached easily with just a double click within each main mode. You did mention "some programming', which is true, but the really big gap you harp on isn't really a significant matter, once you learn the UI. Ribbed for your pleasure, IMO, is a cute joke but it was mentioned a few too many times. After all, it's not a condom review. 😂

ribbed for your pleasure 😂😂😂😂😂

Lol Vaseline factory!

with that accent and how you say "ribbed for pleasure" you should work for Trojan not make gear reviews😂😂😆

Why don't you TURN THEM ON. Skip the narrative... Bye.

You should definitely check out the SC62W for better color light output. For that matter the SC63W is the new version that's even brighter.
