Reddit reviews Zebralight H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI

Thanks for the giveaway. zebralight headlamp HELP please upvote. I’m so close to 100 comment karma.

You have a lot of recommendations to get a headlamp and a reflective vest, I wanted to weigh in on what kind of headlamp you should consider.

Ideally you'd get something lightweight, with enough power to see in front of you and make yourself somewhat visible (although that's more what the reflective vest is for). You should also get something with removable batteries so you could bring spares.

Most of the recommendations on here are for climbing lights by companies like Petzl which are colorful and fun and if you go with one of those you'll probably be fine.

But there are much better options. Those climbing lights (at least the cheaper ones) aren't waterproof, they're splash/sneeze resistant. Might last a while in rain. But IPX8 waterproof would be better. Also they're mostly plastic. The expensive ones are insanely expensive. Here are some cheaper, more bombproof options (all single AA, there are other AAA and 18650 options too but 1xAA makes for a very lightweight package):

Zebralight H53c ($59)
Excellent light, I own it's bigger brother the H600, fantastic build quality all around. 79 grams with battery.

Manker E03H ($35) Another good option. Go for the Nichia LED, much better color accuracy. 103 grams with battery.

[Fenix HL23] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UHZXAYG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_kglPBbREJNAKJ) ($35) Reputable brand, good light. Not as waterproof, only IPX6. Still solid. 75 grams with battery.


There are a few more options, especially if you want more (18650) or less (AAA) power and weight. Check out /r/flashlight for more info. Or hit me up. Good luck and stay safe out there.

I’d scale back the frequency now and potentially the prize amount later (cap it). While we greatly appreciate it, I don’t want you to suffer for our prizes.

That said, if the random number generate favors me, I’d like a Zebralight H53c. I’ve determined I have hard preferences for 4000-4500K, high CRI and regulated lights. I have a wowtac and a sofirn which are 5000K and they need to go. My existing SC53c is a favorite. :-).

Skip the bucket, this time I'll go for a sick horse.

https://www.amazon.com/Zebralight-H53c-Headlamp-Neutral-White/dp/B071ZTPLPD/

More than $25, but take a look at ZebraLight headlamps.

I've been using one for about ten years now without an issue. Great lens angle (covers your entire field of view) and uses a single AA battery which is super easy to replace while it's still mounted on your head.

Edit: fixed linkage

The H53c is available on Amazon.

The 503 models are mules (no reflector, most spill). The H53fc has the same reflector as the h53c, just with a frosted lens for more spill.

The H53c has the most throw of the bunch which sounds like what you want. I have one and it is a good lightweight and versatile headlamp. Also consider getting some quality nimh batteries instead of using alkalines that could (will) leak and ruin your light!

Thanks as always for all the work you do for this hobby and for these great giveaways. Honestly, given the rate of subscriptions, a rarer 5k or 10k subscriber giveaway would be more significant and let people try out fancier flashlights if they win.

This time around, I’d like to try for the Zebralight H53c headlamp

Zebra :)

Thanks!

> My Zebralight headtorch is much brighter than that, and I've used it for woodland jogging successfully, but I would think 18650 might not be the best for this use case. It is mildly annoying to run with weight-wise compared to a smaller cell like 18350.

> That said, have a look at the silicone headlamp mounts they use, you could use one on a waist belt and it'd probably be very successful. That actually sounds a lot nicer than having something on my forehead, now I think about running with it...

+1 for Zebralight. I use the Zebralight headlamps mostly either at waist level on my EDC bag, handheld, or around my neck instead of my head. I recommend a Zebralight H53c for u/GetSecure:

• Zebralight's latest H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI : r/AAMasterRace
  
• AmazonSmile: Zebralight H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI: Sports & Outdoors
  
• H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI - Zebralight
  
  The silicone holder is easy to attach to a belt or strap or Velcro, etc. I attach mine to a wristwatch, then put the wristwatch on a strap on my EDC bag. It's very convenient. The silicone holder Zebralight uses makes it very flexible (no pun intended) in how you can mount it.
  
  If the Zebralight gets caught on something, the silicone holder flexes quite a lot, enough to release the light in some cases. I use cheap nylon zip ties, one tightly on the Zebralight, then one on that to serve as an attachment for a coil keychain lanyard, like this:
  
  
• AmazonSmile : 10 Pcs Spring Coil Keychain Retractable Plastic Bungee Cord with Key Ring and Plastic P Shape Trigger Hook Theftproof Anti-Lost CurlCord by NUOMI, Stretch to More Than 2 Meters, Black : Office Products
  
  That gives me reassurance I will never lose my Zebralight, even if I use it in weird ways that weren't originally intended, like at waist level where I bump into things more often than I would if it were on my head as a headlamp, as intended.

Thanks for the giveaway!

I'd prefer less frequent but obviously do whatever works better for you

i'm in, still trying for the headlamp. https://www.amazon.com/Zebralight-H53c-Headlamp-Neutral-White/dp/B071ZTPLPD/

i'd vote for smaller prizes just because it keeps the chances of winning higher. but I could also see doing every 5k or 10k milestones also.

Wow, I feel bad as I don't contribute much and mainly lurk, but thank you so much :D! Been longing to try out one of the zebralights.

After stumbling down the flashlight rabbit hole because of this subreddit, I think what I could really use is a good headlamp.

Thanks a ton for the giveaway, and I appreciate everything you do for the community.

There's a reason why it's one of the best, and has grown so quickly, you're contribution is substantial to that reason.

I'm sure I won't win, I don't think I've ever one a contest or a raffle-type thing in my life haha..

But, never know, I suppose... Zebralight - H53c

Thank you for the giveaway!

Would love to get a ZL H53C for my wife!

Zebralight H53c headlamp.

Thank you for doing these!

Could go for the H53c I saw someone posted. Might be neat. If it's changed price or gone by the time giveaway ends, unless I'm around on IRC best be the sc53fc or the vl300t.

Gracias!

Recently found this sub and have been lurking after ordering a D18 (for myself) and a D4V2 (for my wife)!


Given our interest in the outdoors, I think a Zebralight H53c would be a natural choice.


Thanks for making this sub what it is!

For the small giveaways we could have a set prize like a Convoy S2 and then for the milestones like 25K etc there could be a bigger choose your own prize.


Zebralight Please!

Thank you so much for keeping this community going! https://www.amazon.com/Zebralight-H53c-Headlamp-Neutral-White/dp/B071ZTPLPD/?pldnSite=1

Another chance so soon - thanks for doing these! I really would like Zebralight H53Fc, but if that's still listed as "unavailable" then I would settle for the H53c.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Thanks for doing this! Zebralight H53c

I think smaller, more frequent prices vs bigger less frequent prizes kind of depends on the intention of the giveaway.

For people who spend a lot of time on this sub, I would guess that if there was something that they want that is less expensive they would have already picked it up or just generally be less excited to win. If you’ve already got a zebralight it’s a little less exciting to win a wowtac a1. They would prefer bigger prizes.

However, if the goal is to grow the subreddit and bring people in, more frequent giveaways is a better way to accomplish that goal.

I am in the former group where I have 2 convoys, the ylp penlight and an h03 that I got on sale and modded to be pretty decent, but I haven’t taken the plunge to buy anything more than 25.00 or so.
