Yes, Illuminationsupply sent mine 2 days ago!

My precioussss….

Heh he, it were on discount, and got mine for %15 less. I had been waiting for mine to be shipped. Craig sent mine this week. Would still need a couple of weeks for it to arrive.

It’s the time of 1xAA lights for me. I also bought a Thrunite Archer 1A along with it. A flooder and a thrower. These should be some good lights for my almost unused 14500 cells.

Craig is offering free worldwide shipping & 15% discount until the end of January (code SC52Intro). He’s just had new stock, I believe.

5

Got my order shipped on Thursday now it's the waiting game.

6

Is that using the above link from Illumination Supply?

Also, what 14500 cells are good? I have the best 18650’s now I want a pair of the best 14500’s.

Edit: and also does this torch come in other colours?

Just ordered mine (although apparently it’s still on backorder) with the discount code, no free shipping but even so, came out to US$54.40. Can’t wait to get it! I’m a sucker for a good AA light. I’ve got a bit of a stock of L91’s, and a sh1tload of Eneloops, so that should see me right for a while.

lionheart_2281: Best 14500 is probably the AW14500, all his batteries usually gets good reviews.

All Zebralights come in one color only.

Sorry, yes, I should have made it clear that Craig is Illumination Supply’s owner, so use link in OP.

AA….check!
Clip….check!
configurable modes….check!
expensive….check! :money_mouth_face:

What about warranty? I see nothing at zebralight about it.

11

Craig told me it comes in only 1 colour, so what colour is this:

I can’t find AW14500’s, could you link me?

I presumed because Panasonic make these, they would be the best:

Looks like I'll have my SC52 today!

13

I've just bought a few AW14500's for my SC52 these seems a good price might grab a few:

Thanks :slight_smile:

Just found this video if people are having trouble with the many different modes this torch has:

I think the SC52 is currently the best AA light out there, but if you take a light meter and stopwatch to it, you might find ZL’s spec sheet to be worthy of a DealExtreme listing.

Zebralight makes a great product, there’s no question about that, but I find that their marketing integrity, and the fact that they don’t stand behind their products with the shortest warranty, and questionable CS, kinda drags a great product down to only average for me… course, YMMV.

16

so what is the warranty? I gotta know before dropping $60 on it

17

A year, and if you need to use it, ~2 month turn-around… if they are responsive. Warranty info is listed at the very bottom of their website.

18

12 months. See here for full text.

If you get from Illumination Supply it will be $64 less 15% with free shipping.

Got it. This thing is tiny and very bright for a single AA Flashlight(with a 14500 installed). With an Eneloop installed, it's very decent. The build quality is amazing. I love it!

Nicely centered emitter (L2 low mode .34 lumens)

Thanks for the info on the Zebra. Amazing, looks so tiny, but one can tell the quality from just the photos…
