Amazing brightness from an AA battery, good build quality and well put together

This is my first Zebralight - and I really like it. It is really solidly made and very nicely finished. The maximum output is particularly impressive for a AA torch. And you don't need a 14500 batteryto achieve this output just a good quality rechargeable such as Eneloop - very clever engineering! The neutral tint seems well judged to my eye - warm but not TOO yellow. There is a very comprehensive UI so you can set the three levels just the way you want them. Once done you access low (or firefly) by pressing and holding. Medium by double clicking and high with a single click. Other features can be accessed with more clicking. Which leads me to my one quibble. I would much prefer to access Medium with a single click and High with a double click. Other than that I can highly recommend this torch.

Brightest 1 AA battery torch you can get with decent run times. Warm tint light is easier on the eyes and have better colour rendition but at the slight lost of brightness, not that much to make a difference but still a lost. Pricey but if you need a torch you can't go wrong with this one.

Another excellent transaction with the team at Flashaholics. My go to, one stop flashlight and accessories shop in the UK. The flashlight shipped immediately and arrived within 24hrs of placing my order. It is also worth noting that whenever I've had any questions the team are always on hand to answer my calls and address them in a honest and timely fashion.

Excellent service and swift delivery. Item accurately described and happy with my purchase.

I am not a flashaholic so I read a few articles on EDC flashlights. I didn't want to be bothered with weird battery types and that led me to this model. Very bright. Very small. Runs on AAs. Seems great.

Making great use of Eneloop Pro AA batteries, with a very useful and usable high of 325Lm on H2, and with 535Lm available on H1 'turbo' the SC5 is as much light as you often need, remembering that less than a decade ago 30Lm was a good output, and people raved about 60Lm. I went for the SC5W, which is fractionally down on these outputs, but a year ago I realised I preferred the neutral/warmer tints, for me it's easier on the eyes. It's slightly chunkier/heavier than previous AA Zebs, but the beam shape and pattern is so well designed, a great general purpose light not needing 'fancy' batteries, and usual Zebralight 'joy to use' interface.

Best AA torch man can get, all seriously we'll built very bright and compact.

My new favourite EDC. Beautiful creamy, neutral beam. Great! CragMasterCraig
