4Sevens old logo stock back at Going Gear -50% off

Thanks Woody :slight_smile:

Quark + intellicharger +coupon code = total price of $54.85 shipped

If you consider the;
$6.10 saved from coupon,
$8.05 saved on free shipping for orders over $49 and
$42.05 saved from the discount of the light

That makes it a savings on my instance of $56.20 (50.2%) !!

What a bargain and thans for the linky and coupon code!

Why did I do it? Maelstrom S-12 800 Lumen. I don’t know. I don’t need it. Will I still love it in the morning?

I had the X-10 and was very impressed. I really miss it, sold it to a friend. I am sure you will really like it. The X-10 had some monster throw.

It took all of my willpower not to get the Quark AA 2. I have always wanted this light. I can easily afford it. BUT, I have something like 20 other flashlights! Is this one really any different? I keep going back to the website hoping to see that they are ‘Out of Stock.’ I was even going to order that lil lighter thingy for $23 to get the total over $50 so as to not pay shipping.

Perhaps I no longer have this disease.

I could not resist the temptation of finally buying a 4sevens!!! Even though I just bought a Nitehawk over at sbflashlights. Dang you BLF!!!!!!

Bad Boy!!

Some quick info on the Quark X AA2 Tactical (copied from a pm to kreisler)

My quick 2 cents as an end user for several months.
Pros:

- Multi modes

- Good spacing of modes and is actually useful.

- Goddamn wtf regulation

- Insane high output

- low mode

- Light and pretty slim (not heavy!)

- Perfect beam

- Memory mode for tactical version

  • Forward clicky

Cons:

- NO TAILSTANDING on tactical (Had to buy a normal tailcap for tandstanding $10) (Can be overcome by using a glass or anything as holder)

- Parts to lego WAY OVERPRICED.

- Dont like the mode changing on the tactical version (4 twists to activate modes)

  • Preflash is annoying on moonlight to low mode. SOME models dont have it. (Preflash on mine just stopped yesterday, I think it might be some driver contact or something somewhere because when I first got it, it didnot have preflash, fell down pretty hard and then got the preflash and now its gone and my quark head is feeling slightly smoother….)

Is the beam more/less floody on this than the Xenos E03 (I recall this from somewhere)? That’s already insanely huge spot with the XML; basically unusable outdoors.

Also, one review called the tint green, the other just cool white. Is the tint lottery going on with 4sevens’ or just different people have diff subjective interpretation of color?

I hope I get some green tints. My color blindness makes it ‘neutrally’ so I’ll take’em hehe.

I’m still disconcerted over my experience with 4sevens. They were surprisingly uncooperative and ended up sending me back a light with a horrible green tint. Every time I turn it on, I turn into Tourette’s guy. They should have put more effort into service rather than branding. I think their old site and model names were easier to figure out anyways.

So do all of their lights have tint issues?

The tint issue is due to the light being current regulated. Mine has a slightly barely noticeable greenish tint on moonlight/low modes. :slight_smile:

if you dont like it pm vinhnguyen54 on cpfm, hell mod it with an xml u3/copper pcb setup driven to 4.5a

thats what hes doing with mine anyways :slight_smile:

Normally they are a nice pure white. This is the first out of four 4sevens R-5 lights with a green tint.

i’ve had 20 or so 4sevens lights so far only 1 had a tint that i’d call “ugly”, myself being a flashaholic

Got both of my quarks yesterday. Neither have tint issues. Nice pure white on all levels

Holy double post Batman!!!

So how were the test drives?

My finger is twitching to order one as well. I’ve been shopping the Trustfire TR-J10 which uses 2x26650 to drive an SST-90 (best price I’ve found is around $100 with batteries and charger), but for $68 (after coupon), the Maelstrom is hard to resist. Does anyone know how they compare to each other? I am looking for a wall of light, I’m not that concerned about throw, so that’s why I’m thinking the Maestro may be a better choice.

I’m really looking forward to this light. I like the compact size.
