BEST Waterproof Headlamp for ADVENTURE | Zebralight H600 Mk IV (FULL REVIEW)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- The Zebralight H600 Mk IV is the best waterproof headlamp for the types of adventures that I gravitate towards. I've used this headlamp for years as I've journeyed to waterfalls, sea caves, canyons, creeks, cracks and cliffs all around the world. It's simple, rugged design allows it to withstand not only fresh water, but also salt water.

Zebralight is US company, but their products are made in China.
You are right!! I was fooled by their website that said something about owned and operated in the USA.
I think it’s a balance companies need to make. They can make them in China for $70 that consumers think is still too expensive. But if they made it in the USA like Surefire your paying over $200 and most consumers won’t even consider that price.
I have all the latest and greatest flashlights from Olight and Lumintop to Emisar and Noctigon. And I’ve had several lights die on me over the years. I’ve had nothing but good luck with Streamlight. And the one that died on me, being 20 years old, they fixed it on the spot under a lifetime warranty. But I trust my Zebralights the most. They’ve been flawless. Albeit the oldest one is only about 5 years old but I use them everyday and they’ve been great. The user interface has a learning curve but then it becomes second nature once you program the groups the way you want them. I like mine spaced evenly apart. About to order an H600c because I don’t have a headlamp with throw yet.
Pro Tip: If you order a spare rubber mount, you can feed the adjustment strap of a baseball cap through it and have your headlamp on the back of your hat. When you need the light, just turn your baseball cap around. Obviously in the dark, you won’t need the bill of the hat to shade you from the sun.
Great tip, thanks!
I tumbled to your content due to being a big zebralight fan - nicely done kind sir. I dig it! Seems like a cool lifestyle you've got there!
Be well and safe travels 💪🏽😊
I can't stop watching to this video every time coz I love it.
🤣🤗👍🙏🤙thanks
As far as spare batteries go, I carry some waterproof match cases that hold the 18650s. Its a great way to have just tons of runtime. I love the runtime and outputs of these Zebralights. You can have 1000 lumens for a couple of hours or you can have 100 lumens all day long which is enough for a lot of work. Indoors the sub lumen modes are great as nightlights and last months.
They are a great value
I've been impressed with the wizards runtime I still want to get a zebra , I do love the ease of charging the wizard didn't think I would
It looks like a nice headlamp. I like the warm color of the light. Its not blue light
Nice to see the light in actual use. 👍🏼
🤙
I am a bit concerned about the heat. Maybe doubles as a hand warmer during winter lol. Not including a charger seems off, but I have not done research on other lamps, so maybe it is neutral in the overall mix. A deal maker for me is that you have had it about 3 years and I have some idea of what you put gear through. Thanks for the honest rundown, Jesse.
That's right Jim, I beat the crap out of it! It takes a licking and keeps on ticking 🤣🤙
The light getting hot means heat is being transferred away from the LED, as it is supposed to be. It's a pro, not a con.
The light is also thermally regulated(that's the "PID" in the runtime claims for the higher levels), and will automatically step down in brightness to keep from overheating.
@@samfordman Thanks for this excellent info.
Zebralights are thermally regulated using a sensor on the driver; they'll reduce brightness gradually when approaching the temperature limit. By default it's 50C, but that can be adjusted between 45C and 55C. Battery and charger are not included so you don't have to pay for them if you already use 18650s.
@@ZakWilson Hey, thanks for that Zak.
Good to know about the latest gizmos and gadgets.👍
Yes quality gear is a good investment
Oooh and I'm loving the tree 🌳 behind you.
Me too
What I really like about all of my Zebralight`s is battery level indication that you can rely on. 100, 75, 50, 25%. I do own Armytek Wizard C2 pro, and battery level indication works as follows 100-25%- green light, below 25% orange, below 10% red, which makes it really useless.
I have three of the Zebralight headlamps, one is a AA version and two are 18650. They have all held up for several years now where a lot of other headlamps haven't.
Thanks for information about the flash light every think ....i really want to go with u someday .
🙌🤙
which charger do you reccomend? I just purchased this headlamp mostly for hunting. Good review thanks
Whatever u can find for the right battery size. I'd get 3500 mah batteries or bigger if you can find them
SkyRC MC3000. I've had one for years and it's been flawless. It'll charge, cycle, and break in any cylindrical cell battery made that I'm aware of. 99 bucks.
Like a zebralight, it's the very best you can buy for the money.
Same problem, my wife and I bought( supposedly waterproof) black diamond storm headlamps to do some caving in Belize back in 2014. Mine started flickering after one dunk under water.
I have had the same problem with 2 other models from Black Diamond
@@JesseStLouis yep, two of my black diamonds also started getting cracks all over them from nothing at all.I stopped buying those backpacking store brands a long time ago.
One thing to note, at least on some Black Diamond models, is that they may even have an supposed IPX8 rating, BUT that does not include the battery compartment. The latter needs to be emptied and dried. They do now mention this in the product description. I do not have any so cannot personally say. I do know someone who tossed theirs as it was always dead when he went to use it, but not sure what the issue was.
I generally use right angle aluminum headlamps/flashlights for that reason. One that I have that is not right angle is a tubular magnesium bodied light. I would love to have a Zebralight as anyone that has one is always happy with it, but I have so many others, it is hard to justify. I don't use mine as hard as Jesse ;-) but still want to be able to rely on them in poor conditions.
@@donaldstrader7241 how can it have an ipx8 rating if it can't be submerged? Lol that's false advertising at best. After that I also switched to right angle. Have an olights going strong for 8 years now and a new Fenix that's like wearing the sun lol
Have you tried the fenix Hm65r headlamp? It has a flood and a spot ipx 8 rating.
We got the Fenix HM65R-T for my wife and we love it! I probably should make a review video one of these days.
It sounds like a good headlamp 🤗🤓
It's pretty solid
do you recommend h600c with ncr18650ga battery with xtar ant mc1 plus cahrger? just asking because i'm very new at flashlight and battery technology.
Yes, but with the Xtar MC1S (charges at 1.0Ah, not auto-selecting 0.5Ah and 1.0Ah like the Xtar Ant-MC1 Plus), or Xtar FC2.
I own the MC1 and FC2. Great portable chargers!
Make sure to ask if they are the new, updated versions with USB-C ports, not the old Micro USB.
🤘🤘🤘👌
🤘👍🤙
Isn't it distracting that the light is off center? Or did you get used to it quickly and don't notice it anymore?
I don't even notice anything about that while using it

Where is my free light Jesse, lol
🤔
1:35 - nobody noticed? Headlight was already deattached, because in reality it's not that easy. Why do you deceive people?
Hey Vadim thanks for the comment. It's pretty easy but you're right ot was already detached because I did 2 takes of this shot and moved out of focus on the first one when I actually removed it. I just faked it to keep my shooting moving. I didn't think it was a big deal, sorry that you felt deceived man.
I have three Zebralight headlamps and in my opinion they are easy to remove from the headstrap. The rubber mount stretches easily to slide the light out.
A lot of people including myself prefer a right angle light even if it’s never put on a headband to use as a headlamp.
