Zebralight SC5

Zebralight SC5

Zebralight have always been a top choice for flashaholics after highly technical lights. The new SC5 improves upon their already much-beloved AA flashlight. This refresh is slightly larger than its predecessor, but it remains pocketable at 3.18” long and 2 oz in weight. The bigger size now affords grippier patterning and more room for its internals. They've been upgraded to a more powerful, current-regulated XM-L2 LED, topping out at 535 lumens. The SC5 still uses Zebralight's customizable single-button interface, with a total of 11 constant outputs and 2 flashing modes, including an unprecedented 4 months of runtime on its lowest 0.1-lumen setting. Zebralight have done it again with the SC5, both for current fans of their reliable lights and new flashaholics looking for the cutting edge of the industry. Look no further for one of the best AA flashlights on the market.
