Oh nice. What do you feel about the zebra light head lamps?
I have their SC53c small flashlight that I have bought as my introduction to high quality flashlights, and I absolutely love it (different settings, long lasting AA batteries, bright when I need it, doesn't seem to break easily), so I thought maybe their headlamps would be good. Maybe your suggestion is a lot better, based on the info you've provided.
@Habahnow @flashlight The AA Zebralights used to cost less and support 14500. The current models don't support 14500, which is a major downside now that we have 14500 batteries with a capacity as high as 1250 mAh (4.6 Wh). That's about 50% more capacity than the best NiMH AAs and even exceeds disposable lithium (except at very low loads).
Oh how interesting, that is a shame that they've removed that feature. I definitely would appreciate that compatibility, as I enjoy being able to use any AA battery ( or any other common type) for my flashlight, but would also love being able to use other battery types. Thanks for the info!
