Zebralight SC700d – A Short Technical Review (lumens/runtime graphs/temperature/PWM/current draw)

They are not good at keeping their site up to date. Some have ordered and have had it ship normally even when it said out of stock. I edc a sc64 w hi and love it. My sc700d I use for outdoor use , the tint is a tad green , could be used to me being used to 4k ish tint. It’s very good outdoors though. Only notice it when I put another light next to it.

gpknives is your friend, had mine in two days.

or nkon…

im lovin it!!!

Is the green tint less obvious on the fd model? I tend to notice mine alot lately in the sc700d. Used to my sc64w hi

I wish I had the Fd Model…

The Green is very real on both this 700d, and the Sc600w MK iv Plus.

The 64w HI is a dream, and the one I carry while working to see true whites/colors.

All others in my collection have no green.

I might try the DC fix filter, it would turn it.into a floosy and even out the tint I think.

ive got some, but am just a lil lazy now…

Has anybody had issues with battery fit? I have some samsung 40T I ordered from Fireflies and they are too wide and don’t fit my sc700d. Wondering if anyone else experienced the same.

I have that battery from Zebralight, it fits fine with a slight rattle if I shake it.

Flat top unprotected

Odd, since I used the 40T in my runtime graphs. I suppose there could be manufacturing tolerances in the light, battery, or both.

How old is the Zl? Maybe they added something to stop the rattle, or the 40t is a rewrapped something else? Odd though.

Likely manufacturing tolerances in the batteries. I am not sure if she, but same issue on my sc700Fd with different color anodization.

My 40T rattled slightly (only if tapped firmly, not really if just shaken). I wrapped a single layer of wide masking tape around the cell and it’s solved.

Has anybody recently purchased 21700 batteries that fit in their SC700D. Looking to get a 40T or P42 or Vapcell but worried they won’t fit. The 40T’s I received with my Fireflies order don’t fit in the Zebralight as its too wide.

Do anyone think that zebralights will release a new model soon? The sc700d is starting to be a little old, it is nice to have a xhp70.3 version!

They need to carefully select the greenest 70.3 bins there are before they can move to production :smiley:

Do you say this because zebralights usually have very green tint on their leds? :stuck_out_tongue:

Usually they have a bad tint yes. They have shown over the years they don’t care about it. Some of their high-cri model were obnoxiously green. Some of their high-cri models appeared to have 80 CRI. I’ve lost my faith in Zebralight when the Mk IV generation came out.
