The ZebraLight H30 is different from the average flashlight. Instead of shining light pointed from the end of its head, the LED points at a right angle. The H50 doesn’t use a reflector nor focusing lens of any sort. Instead, the head which is adhered onto the main body of the light houses the electronics, LED and a Lexan polycarbonate lens which protects the LED. This Lexan lens is impact resistant and helps prevent the emitter from getting damaged. The lens is recessed within the head and surrounded by a raised lip. This lip acts as an anti-glare shield which was a separate add-on accessory with the earlier H50 model.

The H60 sales package comes with a lot of useful accessories which have been listed above. This allows the H60 to be held in a number of positions. With the silicone brackets, the H60 can be attached to a belt, backpack shoulder strap, lanyard or head band. The pocket clip, obviously allows it to be held on a pocket. This is especially convenient when clipped onto a shirt pocket which leaves your hands-free. The internal dimensions of the batteru tube is rather snug and not all 18650 cells will fit. AW's flat top 2600mAh and 2200mAh button top protected cells will fit fine, however others such as EagleTac cells will prevent the tail cap from fully screwing on. Most of the exterior battery tube is covered three segments of raised rings, these serve to keep the H60 from sliding along its length when used with one the the rubber brackets. However a downside to this is that they don't stop the light from twisting in the brackets. Also, there is not much grip on the battery tube which is in sharp contrast with its tail cap which has very aggressive knurling. They are cut extremely sharp and can easily cause abbrasion on your fingernails or fabric. The tail cap screws on securely and has a flat rear end which allows the H60 to tail stand without problems.

The H60 works extremely well for its intended purpose, a hands-free flood light. Because there’s no lens or reflector to focus the light produced by the LED, the beam profile produced is pure flood. This is a normal characteristic of the Cree XR-E emitter, unlike the common 5mm LED's which are already pre-focused.

The H60 maintains regulation well and has very good runtime for the amount of light being produced. The flood beam produced is nice and smooth with no visible artifacts, noticeably narrower than the H50 version due to the more recessed LED placement. The color temperature of the light produced is slightly on the cool side. The levels cycle about every 0.5 seconds. There is no noticeable PWM (pulse width modulation) effect on the lower levels. Like the H30, the regulation works a little to well. I say this because the light totally turns off without warning when it can't hold regulation any longer, unlike the H50 which dims noticeably before totally turning off. This could be an issue when your using this light while doing work or walking in the dark.

The H60 has 6 levels of output which are set in pairs which basically act as alternate levels. From the off position, a single click switches the light on the high level, while holding the button down start from low and cycles through medium then high. While the light is on at any of the three levels, double clicking the switch activates the alternate level for that mode. The H60 does memorize your choice of regular or alternate levels even after the light is switched off. Do take note that when activated on the highest 190 lumen level, the light will automatically drop down to the 110 lumen level. This is to protect the user from the accessive heat produced. Actual tests showed a peak of 164 lumens.

Output modes are as follows:
Off > 190/110 lumens > 45/15 lumens > 3/0.5 lumens

The Good - Excellent build quality and finishing. Very light weight and compact form factor for a 18650 powered light. Good runtime and maintains regulation very well. Includes many useful accessories.

The Bad - Fitting with the silicone bracket isn't very snug and may cause the light to rotate during activities. Switches off without warning at the end of the battery life.

The Relative - Beam profile is purely flood with a slightly cool color temperature. Is able to tail stand. Very aggressive tail cap knurling.
