Wouldn't light up the power pylon at 60m in the city tonight.

Mine must be better than yours - could see light on fence at around 100m - but I don't have so many street lights. Shorter range camper/walker.

Initially I wanted something as a backup to the H14, but maybe it can just stay at home with all it's AA batteries!

Given that I have a AA based gps I am committed to running two types of batteries (18650 and AA) so have two zebralights. A AA powered flood one for inside the hut and a 18650 spot one for walking down tracks. Both are using the warm leds which sacrifice a few lumens for more daylight like light.

The compare all models spreadsheet on the zebralight web site is well worth a look.

I brought the H600W for walking down tracks
H600w Mk II 18650 XM-L2 Headlamp Neutral White

And the H502c for inside the hut
H502c L2 High CRI Neutral White AA Flood Headlamp

Interesting that zebralight have gone completely to high output XMLs - bar one XRE for their red light. Even dropped XPGs.

When out walking/spotlighting at night with high drain XML headlamps I find it useful to have a unit which has 2 x 18650s to maintain good runtime. No great issue however as outside of spotlighting most of your outdoor walking etc will be on a low mode.
