Best 2xaa light I have ever used/owned. I swapped a 4500k XML into mine, and programmed the modes to my liking and it’s my go-to light. For $30 this is the best 2xaa light you can ever buy.
Darn, I was looking for just such a light and on going there they seem to be out of stock.
Anyone else have them for this price?
They still have the 123 size lights in stock.
I have a Quark 123-2 (2 CR123’s, non tactical because I like tail standing lights the tactical can not tail stand) and the preflash that everyone seems to be bent is the lowest mode (moonlight 0.2 lumes) when it comes on it (flashes) Pulses at around 5-8 lumes for less than 0.125th of a second then drops to the sub lum power rating. If you are being all secret squirl then the clicking of the switch is going to give you away more than the slight “preflash”
I have to say a an EDC light it has replaced the fenix E11. I like it a lot and I am sure that there are at east 100 people that do not own either light and will tell me that I am wrong.
It is nice having a light that can pull off the range that the Quark series of lights manages to do with the quality of the lights they have. 4Sevens has done a great job on a flashlight.
Still impressed! I had some trouble with mode memorization, even after watching Nutnfancy’s video, and reading the printed instructions, but 4 7s Customer Service emailed me a YouTube demonstration of how to do that, and now its all programmed. I think I have seen the “preflash”. A non-issue, IMO. And, the price was right!
A great light! 8)
I received mine today and well… i guess there are two options.
Either I’am stupid (which I admit is a possibility) :exmark:
Or I got useless piece of aluminum. After I insert the batteries all it does is Strobe mode. Full press/half press, doesn’t matter always strobe mode :Sp
And I was really looking forward to gifting this to my uncle. I guess now I know why it was for sale…
I just got mine too from the sale. I double checked it and it doesn’t make a sound on Turbo or any other mode that matter. I tried several different batteries too. Not sure whats going on with yours. I can’t comment on the tint. Tint seems to be a personal thing. I do like the tint on mine.
I would be surprised if they didn’t make some attempt to make it right. Their HQ is in Atlanta. They are also on Facebook. I have seen some folks have issues and post it on facebook, and David the head hancho has stepped up and tried to satisfy the customer. Of course buying it at 1/2 price doesn’t give you much leg to stand on. Either way, good luck.
That isn’t normal but it may be possible to fix through reprogramming it. Have you tried to access the programming mode?
Just twist the head quickly from tight to loose at least four times with the light on and it will go to moonlight mode, wait a few seconds for some flashes then scroll through the modes and leave it on the one you want for about 10 seconds (this will be confirmed with more flashes). Turn it off and on and that will be the memorized mode for tight/low (whichever it was in when you did the programming), then you can do it again for the other position.
