What owners report
Zebralight H600Fc
- ✓Amazing, remarkably even tint with excellent colour rendering
- ✓Frosted lens gives a pure flood beam ideal for close work
- ✓Programmable levels including a genuine moonlight mode
- ✓Better medium-output runtimes than the previous Mk III generation
- ✓Zebralight's build quality and regulation
- ✗Mk IV thermal control is considered poorly implemented against the Mk III
- ✗The H1 top setting is unrealistic — it heats up very quickly
- ✗Tight battery compartment that won't accept all 18650s
- ✗Light bleeds through the switch at higher levels
- ✗Minor anodising imperfections near the cooling fins
Zebralight H604c
- ✓No reflector at all — a genuinely even flood with no hotspot
- ✓93 to 95 CRI at 4000K, with a tint owners describe as beautiful
- ✓Excellent for close work and, by one owner's account, spectacular in forest
- ✓Zebralight's regulation, build quality and long low-mode runtimes
- ✓Identical to the H604d apart from colour temperature, so you can pick your tint
- ✗Discontinued by Zebralight — new stock is scarce
- ✗The button is small enough to make mode changes fiddly
- ✗Pure flood is poor for anything at distance
- ✗No onboard charging, as with all Zebralights
- ✗The click-count interface takes learning
