I emailed Zebralight last Sunday regarding a few headlamps and still haven’t heard anything back from them. Many of the models I’m looking at are on backorder.
Anyone have any contact with or ordered from them recently?
I’ve been wanting to buy the SC5c for quite sometime and it’s on back order as well. I will keep checking this thread to see if someone has some info on ZL.
I’m looking at the H604d, H604Fd, and H600d. All 3 are on backorder.
I reached out to customer service about some replacement o-rings 2 weeks ago and also haven’t heard back…
I sent them a message 2-3 weeks ago on their “contact us” form regarding a broken SC600, but no reply so far.
I find their communication has always been mediocre. I wonder if the whole Covid-19 situation has made it worse.
Was reading one of my old threads last night and my own comment cracked me up .

Flashlight Nightmares
The other day I started thinking about...
" Things that might terrify a flashaholic."
* Looking under your bed and finding a Monster .
* Living in a country where the sun never sets .
* Zebras show up at your door demanding the return of their lights .
* Harbor Freight starts carrying lights nicer than yours .
There must be a million things that could wake a flashaholic in a cold sweat.
What are you afraid of ???
What's your greatest flashlight nightmare ?
Having to ask my wife/grandson to explain the UI on my new EDC! :person_facepalming:
I received a message on the 14th from them about my order placed on 4/4. They are behind on order so the 2 week delay is at least a month. Here it is
4/14/2020 6:44:32 PM We are shipping, but with a (~2 weeks extra) long lead time because both UPS and Fedex in China are having a hard time in shipping due to the limited air flights between the two countries. Your H600c will probably be shipped in 4 weeks.so shipped in 4 weeks from after a ten day wait already
I thought of the 600d but wanted the warmer temp, the h600d is in stock , I will pm you
I had read that their popular models are always backordered.
I ordered my backordered SC700d, and got it a few weeks later. It was well worth the wait.
I backordered a SC700d on 3/13. Made an inquiry via account messaging on 4/17 and had a reply in under an hour:
“We expect to receive some SC700d flashlights from China in 3 weeks. Sorry about the wait.”
My ordered shipped today as a heads up. .
My backorder was shipped today, SC700d.
A few weeks ago I ordered a SC64w HI which was listed as backordered on the website but it shipped that same day.
Yes , that was the normal, everything now is a month wait. I asked if any sc64 le were available when my order shipped and they said it would take a month to get. They are having issues getting supplies from China.
Received mine today , looks good. The color is a lighter chalkier grey than my sc64, don’t recall if I have old photos to compare when it was new. Wonder if it got polished in my pocket over the year lol. I didn’t realize the headlamps aren’t marked in anyway telling you what they are, that’s annoying.
It should be worth the wait. I have the SC64c LE with Samsung LH351D emitter & it’s an excellent flashlight. I find the tint warmth fairly similar to the Nichia 219C 4000k (on an FW3A). The SC64 form factor is excellent. It’s pretty much the same length as an FW3A while having a slightly more narrow diameter.
Well ZL has answered my questions lately the same day, that’s improved. I found the euro site had a new shipment in and showed the 64 le in stock. So I ordered it today lol. If I like it as a second ZL edc I’ll keep it. If not I will put it up for sale.
The discussion at CPF is that Zebralight is showing signs of terminating its business.
