18650 Zebralight continues to prove itself in the field. Fantastic moonlight mode through blinding 1500+ true lumens high range is hard to beat. Extremely long run time is why I prefer the 18650 battery. It has about 4.5 times the capacity of 3 aaa cells. One battery will last about 8 days continuous running (yep, 24 hours a day for 8 days) at camp brightness, or 4 months on moonlight.
I carry a Petzl e-light as a backup. It weighs less than an oz.

High CRI means the light it produces has a large spectrum of colors, which makes the colors you see more accurate.
Having never seen them, I've been curious about the high CRI models. Have you compared them to the regular bulbs? Noticeable difference?
Strap around the head and one over, some remove the over thread strap. Love zebralights, they are awesome. So insanely light, nice and tough, last forever with a 18650.Does this style have 2 straps or just the main one?
Yes on this. I'd start with a h600 floody in neutral (w) as a point of comparison. Some of the high cri LEDs are lower output, tho max is seldom needed. The high cri are very popular. I own 4 neutrals and have 2 high cri in the mail.I run 2, but the strap that runs up and over the top of your head is removable.
I can't answer for Mike, but I use a H600Fw Floody in neutral white. Mine is a few years old and is a Mark II, but the current model is the Mark IV.
I run two different lights, one is pure flood, the other is spot with spill, but still pretty "floody". I choose my lights based on LED color, because I care more about natural colors than pure brightness.

High CRI means the light it produces has a large spectrum of colors, which makes the colors you see more accurate. 4000K means 4000 Kelvin. That means the spectrum is centered on a nice warm light, sort of like a candle color, whereas a higher Kelvin light is more like the harsh white LEDs you see on headlights today. Oddly enough, the higher the Kelvin rating the more "cool" the light is said to be, even though Kelvin is a temperature unit, like Fahrenheit.
So the HI CRI Flood produces a bream of which color from the image you posted? How about the HI CRI Floody? Based on that picture, if I understand it right the further you get away from the warm white the better you'll have a true representation of color?

Do these zebra light require their battery or can you run them off what appears to be a normal AA battery?
What is your experience with battery life?For the one that take the 18650 batteries (which I would suggest), you don't have to use the zebralight brand battery. (Almost) Any 18650 battery will work. I use the Panasonic NCR18650b in mine that I get off ebay.
