I’m offering for sale the Zebralight SC64c LE with a Nichia 219B R9080 for $150 USD plus shipping. I first posted about this mod back in September 2018, and I’ve since completed well over a hundred lights. I have Nichia 219B R9080 in sw30, sw35, sw40, and sw45k, and a nice FA3 bin of SST-20 in 4000K. I can also install any compatible 3V LED with XP style pads that can be sourced, so if you happen to want a different CCT we can almost certainly arrange something.

H1 output with sw35, sw40, and sw45k is approximately 445 lumens, 470 lumens, and 505 lumens, respectively. Mode spacing on the sw45k light I tested is 0.01, 0.09, 0.39, 1.2, 3.7, 10.3, 26.2, 58, 115, 205, 334, and 505 lumens. Since the 219B is a relatively small LED, the beam with a clear lens will be more narrow than stock (much like the old SC62d), with 143m throw for the sw45k version. I include pre-cut d-c fix that can be applied to the lens if desired, which diffuses the beam and lowers sw45k output to ~465 lumens and 104m throw.

Here is a tint comparison of the sw35, stock 4000K XP-L2 EasyWhite, and sw45k (left to right). As you can see the stock LED is rather unpleasantly green as maukka discovered in his review, and it also has a fairly poor R9 value at higher outputs.

Please send me a PM with your LED and lens preference if you’re interested in purchasing one of these lights.

why …. :cry: you just now tested my waters … :wink:

this is what i was looking for years and now you offer such a piece of … :heart_eyes:

and on the other hand Zebralight is offering your handmade SC64c “Samsung-prototype” that you …. :disappointed:

What to do now ???

want a rosy > your one

want a pure 4000K > wait for Zebra … :question:

and thats only the SC …. H503c is already listed :person_facepalming:

Thinking about to PM you … or you PM me …

LH351D isn’t pure white 4000k, you need to put a filter over it to get it down to at or slightly below the bbl.

4

Please feel free to PM me. LH351D will look yellow and maybe very slightly green unless you add a gel filter like twisted raven suggested. You can see the difference between the sw45k 219B and 4000K LH351D in the beamshots I linked at the end of the post. I should also be able to offer sw35 and sw40 in a couple weeks; sw40 would be more neutral and less rosy than sw45k.

WOW, that green/yellow tint is gorgeous! Is that the Nichia 219B R9080 WOW!

6

The top one is the stock XP-L2, which is pretty green and has a rather ugly corona. The whole point of using an sw45 219B is that it’s well below the BBL and makes colours very intense.

PayPal sent, and a bump for this thread.

I think you should call it the Bob_McBob Thing_MaBob.

Can only use that name once though, so it’d have to be something pretty special. Fortunately, a SC64 with 219B is pretty special.

I look forward to holding my Bob_McBob’s Thing_MaBob….wait.

reminds me of the little ditty:

I had a bout with a weak back about a week back.

could someone enlighten me on the ‘c’ or ‘d’ after the model number on Zebralights? Thanks.

13

It’d be a ZebraLight SC64n, or a SC64b. N for Nichia, B for Bob and 219[B].

14

I think Mcbob’s Mods has a good ring to it.

15

Zebralight uses “c” and “d” for the high CRI models. “C” means 4000K, and “d” means 5000K.

bump for Bob

Wow, thats a really nice pair of Thing a McBobs!

now I understand why Zebra did not want to use Nichia B’s, thats a 44% lumen hit, and Zebra sells lumens

me, I think that sw45 LED is a grail led, it can turn any light into an exceptional light! And you are the first to offer it in a Zebra, which most people consider unmoddable… major respect.

thanks for all the detailed info and pics… you answered all my questions before I had a chance to ask any

not a buyer today, just a cheerleader
the lucky owners are in for a treat!

I carry sw45 in a Novatac atm, it puts my LowCRI HDS to shame…
The LED Makes the Light, much like the steel makes the blade.

It’s amazing that Bob was able to mod a Zebralight. If it was a few months ago when the sw45k 9080 was a discontinued collector’s item, I would have sprang for this and I’m sure plenty of others would too, but after Fireflies offered this same emitter in the ROT66 and the about to ship PL47 headlamp at a price lower than a stock SC64c, it becomes a bit harder to sell even though the $150 really is a bargain considering the labor and the fact it is a Zebralight. Maybe if Bob offers a 4000k 219B or other LED options, there would be more interest.
