So you may have seen my recent post of my flashlight collection, of which is comprised of over 80 flashlights from a large variety of manufacturers. Somehow this is my first Zebralight, the SC65c HI. I ordered it three days ago and got it today. It says “Backordered” on the website, but mine shipped the next day, so that may be in error.
I did not understand the hype and love for these lights until now. Let me just say I am floored, to say the least. THIS THING IS TINY! I had no idea! I thought most 18650 lights were too big to EDC, and so I never did. Boy was I wrong. The pictures don’t do it justice, but this thing is incredibly small. It’s about as big as a Tool AA, a battery that takes AA sized batteries! It’s seriously so small.
660 lumens doesn’t sound like a lot when big numbers like 3-4000lm are so commonplace now, but understand that lumens are not linear in scale. 2,000 lumens is not nearly visually 2x times brighter than 1,000 lumens. 660 lumens is more than enough for 99% of use cases. Paired with a highly efficient driver this light is incredible.
Oh, and you can use the new Vapcell N40 18650 cells that are 4,000mah. Yup, that’s right. A 10a continuous discharge 18650 cell. That’s unheard of capacity for an 18650…
To sum it up, this is (by FAR) the smallest 18650 light I know of or have ever seen. You need one! I’m in love.
