Saying Hello & looking for advice

Greetings everyone, I’m new to this kind family of BLF.

Would like to share my light as an introduction and looking for its companion.

It’s been with me for awhile now, years of using with care. A compact package comfortable to carry, 90g with battery. The UI is a bit complicated for sure, and I still need the instructions if ever needed to re-configure, but once it’s done, for operation alone I find it simple enough.

When I bought this light, to streamline the battery management for a simple person like myself, I decided to only use 18650 and AA in the future, although seeing some stunning products with 14500 or larger cell was harsh, I’m sticking to it.

I like how the Zebra just worked, maybe it’s a bit ordinary, and the tint has a touch of green in it, I’m much pleased to having it by my side.

A night stroll to the dim neighborhood or check if there’s monster at the basement, will continue taking it out for a spin with confidence.

Maybe a tail click high CRI would be good companion for the zebra?

Back in the day I really liked the famous FW3 series, … it’s a beautiful light and I envy those skillful ppl who can fix it when the unexpected happens.

KR4 might be a great alternative, and the copper fin version looks amazing. Budget went out of the roof though, and I’m more keen on a lighter Triple (KR3 any chance?)

Been looking in to the S2+ especially the Micro Arc Oxidation ver. Warm white 2700k pair with ceramic-like finish might be a good pick?

I’m in no dire need for a new light, but it’s a happy exercise thinking about one.

Wish u guys all well in these difficult season, and hope the torch in our hearts light up the inevitable darkness in our life.

Welcome, glad you are here. You are getting ready to get tons of suggestions about what light to get. I am not very good at suggestions. My taste seem to be stuck in the super simple lights and most tend to like lots of button pushes and extra RGB lighting. Not my thing so I tend to stay out of the suggestion pool.

I love that little SC52w and wish I still had the few I’ve traded away or sold. I can help with the greenish tint problem. Those ZL’s are quite a handful to open up and mod but, I have some different strengths of minus green filters that can help you out. If you aren’t familiar it’s a super thin laminate type material. Easy to just put right on the lens. I’d be more than happy to send you 3 or 4 different strengths so you can see what will work best for you. Just drop me a PM and I will happily mail some.

Again, welcome.

Todd

It's good to have you here, Aj_r!
