We finally got another update from Zebralight after several emails and it's less than stellar news. Below are the best estimates from Zebralight for pre-order models with the expected ship to dealer dates:
H52, H52F, H52Fw: Mid December. H600 MKII, H600F MKII, H602: Early December. SC600 MKII L2, SC600W MKII L2: Early December.
We apologize for the delay and would be happy to refund you if you want to cancel your pre-order. Please message support@illuminationsupply.com with a message and order number if you wish to do so.
I have no idea how they're distributing their inventory to be honest. When I asked them about that they claimed that their website inventory and dealer inventory are separate. Also we're still owed quite a few H600W/H602W/H600FW models that haven't been delivered yet. We're definitely considering not offering pre-orders for Zebralight in the future.
I received a H52w and posted a review. Thanks! I even got a particularly dark-anodized unit, like I was hoping (one more reason to order from IS).
The review isnāt complete yet; still needs better beam shots and other models and probably more details and better organizationā¦ but itās getting there.
H52W backorders have been fulfilled unless you had something else backordered with it. If you did the H52W has been set aside for your order. H52Ws are now in stock and shipping, no word from Zebralight about the H52FW yet.
Does it have stepdown on 250lm mode as well? Because for example Fenix TK22 with XM-L2 U2 runs for 4h30min on 265lm mode, Nitecore does it for outstanding 8 hours! It look too good to be true.
