What owners report
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
