    Father dying

    That's tough. I will keep you in my thoughts. So far I have been quite lucky, I've not lost many really close except for my Grandad almost a year ago. We'll all have to eventually unfortunately. I'm not looking forward to that at all. You couldn't be more right with what you have said. For me...

    Yikes!

    Yep. I put the space in. I tried every which way. :hairpull: My post code is AAN NAA format 3 either side one space. Supertroooper - I thought about the Polish site but the tax and other costs are already factored into the price and I'd rather take the chance that I won't get stung by Customs...

    Yikes!

    Tried ordering a Quark yesterday night but the 4Sevens site doesn't seem to believe British post code is valid and wouldn't let me order. What to do? Anyone else in here from GB and ordered their Quark from the US site? If so how did you do it and what do you do if it comes up with the error...

    18650 body on a Quark

    Xak, Does the 17670 fit into the body of the 123², is it the same size? I was trying to look at the cost and benefits of which Quark to go with over the runtime and lumens it will give me and whether I'd need to get the extra body. How long does the 17670 last for on max before running out? Is...

    18650 body on a Quark

    Just wondered if anyone has the 18650 body for their Quark and how much longer run time it gives over 123² primaries or Rechargeables? Thanks, John

    Different tints?

    What is the difference between different tints? E.g. Standard, Neutral, Warm etc? And what would you say is closest to natural daylight in a flashlight?

    Comments on the Quark AA2

    That's an ideal situation, I wish they did that with my parcels! I have a dispute ongoing at the moment with RM and Revenue & Customs. I'm using their own Postal Services Act 2000 against them because it states that they can not delay a package and hold it to randsom for fees. Also Their...

    What is your favorite inexpensive (sub $40) LED light?

    I think the Quarks and iTP's look great value. I am looking for something similar to TA-21 but also has moonlight mode with 0.2 lumens, and also perhaps a super max mode with 300 or so lumens. It's hard to find anything sub $40 with same dial as TA-21 and moonlight mode too. Fenix was my...

    What battery types are best?

    Has anyone tried using the Oxyride batteries for flashlights? I am just wondering whether they are any good and how they stack up against other types? All things being equal what order would you rate the following batteries in performance for duration at both max lumens e.g. 210 lumens, and...

    car lights in the UK

    I just wondered why their is no legislation here in the UK regarding the amount of light that cars dipped beam and main beams can give out? When I say the amount of light I am talking about lumens. At the moment I believe there is just legislation on the power rating the bulbs have to be. I...

    Comments on the Quark AA2

    Leif, Was it the $59 one that you purchased? Did you get stung by Royal Mail and Customs at this end with Tax/Duty and RM's unlawful £8 charge? I've been looking at getting a similar flashlight but am trying to weight up which one to get and also any other costs to take into consideration...

    Long Runtimes on Low

    Thanks. The Quark and the iTP's look pretty good too. The moonlight mode's seem to offer even more days of light, though I'm not sure how bright that light would be in a pitch dark room? I think the Pak-lite 9v flashlight also looks interesting. Regarding AA flashlights, what is the highest...

    Street robber/mugger blinding torch needed.

    That's a good point. Usually you won't knwo you're going to be attacked and robbed until its too late anyway. The only way you might have a chance would be if you had the torch immediately to hand at all times in your hand or close by such as on a belt thing with a retractable cord. Even then at...

    Is xenon dead?

    Man alive! I'm still on freaking krypton! I love my mini-mag triple A light! I agree I don't think its dead. Actually I prefer the light colour more. I don't know why but I think it looks more natural. I think the reason LED is big is because the emitter lasts a whole lot longer and you...
