Posted by metawaffle Ha! Well there you go, I had no idea he was on here! And since 2006, no less. Well, I do like my Quark 1xCR123 a great deal - it's just so nice and small. Only thing is, I have the version with the clip, which on that one model is non-removable, and I'm not sure I'd go that way given the choice again. The good thing is that (if I understand correctly) the 1xCR123, 1xAA, and 2XAA lights all have the same head, so you can buy any one of those, then buy extra body tubes to support the other battery configurations. Presumably the upcoming 1x18650 will be compatible with those, too. The 2xCR123 head is different, made for higher voltages. I keep meaning to get a 2xAA body for my Quark, actually. |
Posted by AnAppleSnail For people wondering "Why are these nerds so excited?" I'll cover basics. Low-low setting (.2 lumens) for keeping night vision |
Low comes on first |
Posted by digital_me Hrm, I just tried to buy a tactical 1xCR123A with no tailclip, but when I enter the code "UER10" at the checkout, it comes back as invalid. I'll probably buy one anyway but the 10% would be nice... |
Posted by AnAppleSnail I didn't know they were that lego-able. Hopefully some other lightfans will join the excitement here d-: |
Posted by AnAppleSnail Mr. Chow has made $50 off me. It turns out 10% is enough for me to upgrade. My friend dropped my EDC in a large dark construction site. Wrapping a popped wire onto a paper clip I folded onto the old solder nib is not recommended for the only more-than-3-lumens light you're carrying. Hopefully better construction and a usable lanyard will help with avoiding that silliness in the future... |
Posted by Avius I'll join the excitement! You've seem how crappy my lights are-- I suffer from major indecision when I try to figure out which ones I should upgrade to. This is a pretty good deal, these seem like really nice lights. I may just have to spring for one. |
Posted by gsxracNot to mention we found out they are going to be making a Quark 123*2 and AA*2 XP-G R5 turbohead! There has also been some mention of an 18650 body tht will be compatible with the quark line but im not sure about that one! |
Posted by metawaffle I knew about the 18650 body, but the head is news to me! I wonder if the clip on my CR123 version will preclude me from using the wider body? I might be willing to grind it off if I have to... |
Posted by Man Underground The Quarks look damn hot. Could someone point me to a thread of pics where this kick ass torch is in action. Cheers |
