ZebraLight H53Fc N Nichia 519A Headlamp Review

[jon_slider]

Zebras can be programmed to your preferences.. this is my H53Fc N custom G6 program:

The outputs are for very close range use, especially with the Frosted lens for floody output..

I prefer my Emisar D2, the Anduril UI is much more flexible, and imo easier to use.. Plus the D2 weighs no more than the Zebra, both in their headbands..

Here are some of my Headlamp options.. The D2 is dual channel, with great LED options:

I like my D2 so much, I just ordered another one.. This time it will be a Green Body, w Green switch, NTG35 4200K, White2 Green, Floody optics, Silver Bezels, and built for Button Tops so I can use USB-C 14500..

Many more features than my Zebra, for less money:

Zebras can be programmed to your preferences

My preference is ~25 lm, based on the said above.
If there ways to program/set this on H54 this would be helpful.

[jon_slider]

there is no 25 lumen level on a Zebralight H54Fc N:

you can go to the zebralight site to see all 12 possible outputs

My Emisar D2, has more complete control of output choices.

Where did You get headband with holder for Emisar D2?

[jon_slider]

it is a Skilhunt HB3 headband with a 3D printed clip, from this thread

another option, is the Skilhunt HB4 Small

Thanks! Found HB4 headband on Aliexpress, already in my cart

[jon_slider]

yay! please share your impressions, I have not tried the HB4 Small and am considering getting one for another D2…

this is an HB4 Large (18650 size clamp), it has a problem that the clamp becomes loose, so I added the O ring.. I dont like that I cant trust the HB4 Large clamp, without the O ring.

Im worried if the HB4 Small (AA size clamp) uses the same flawed clamp design (hard clamp with soft rubber on the inside, so the hard part is thinner than on the HB3.. )

I like the HB3 small clamp for D2, from 3D printing.. it has not expanded…

If I get an HB4 Small and there is a problem with the clamp getting loose, I will find a way to order a 3D Printed D2 clamp.

I also have one of the Olight Perun 2 Mini headbands.. it works.. and is easy to open to remove the light..

After I’ve pointed there is no prefered ~25 lm mode, you’ve noted: “Zebras can be programmed to your preferences”, what in the context supposed an existence of a way to set this mode.
As you rejected to say details, so there is no such way and your cited assertion was inappropriate for the discussed situation.
Thanks for the clarification.

Mb sometimes Zebra, and others, will check what common(!) modes have popular models of small and low energy (as AAA) flashlights by other producers and will input more adequate modes. The task to light a road near on a walking is not rare, where the comfortable (especially for flooding lens) mode starts since ~25 lm.
