    Quark AA Tactical Flickering then lost modes

    Thanks to both of you! I tried the swapping of the bezel/tail cap -- no luck. I also forgot their warranty was so long else I would just have contacted them in the beginning. My bad! Thanks again!

    Quark AA Tactical Flickering then lost modes

    Hi folks -- I hate to revive this old thread, but it seems to be the best place to ask for assistance. Just yesterday, I clicked on my my 4sevens Quark AA2 Tactical to find that I could not get it out of "moon mode." I tried new batteries, snugging everything down after cleaning (detoxit...

    Best Current Running Headlamp

    Hmm -- well, I run with my Zebralight. I used to run without a light, so I guess it always seemed like more than enough light for me.

    Best Current Running Headlamp

    Zebralight H50-Q5. Floody and light -- esp. with a Lithium AA.

    Need a floody LED light to prove my father wrong (Christmas Gift)

    If you were not as worried about sheer output, I'd tell you to show him a Zebralight H-50 Q5. That's about the "floodiest" light I have seen -- great for it's intended purpose.

    Best flashlight for camping?

    Maybe it was a lesson for you in disguise? ;) I feel a bit silly every time I turn mone on - like I'm cheating myself. After never needing one to navigate in my 9 years in the Marine Corps, I truely see GPS as a crutch -- and one that is all too easy to become dependent upon.

    Your Most Versatile Light

    Probably my Fenix L0D or Surefire C3 w/ Derelight P60w (3-stage). Two totally different lights, but they get the most use.

    The Quark lights thread!

    Agree with the A / B set-up, but my ideal A / B would be: (Bezel A) Super High / LL ("Moonlight") (Bezel B) High / Medium / Low / all the extras... ...and I probably would never, ever, use "B." But, the Tactical (with it's simple 2-mode set & forget scheme will work well for me. This is why...

    Best flashlight for camping?

    Right now I pair a Zebralight 501w with a Fenix L2T body/TC + LxD-Q5 head. I just "upgraded" from a Zebralight H50-Q5 and I may replace the Fenix with a 2AA Quark after I get to play with on...but we'll have to see. The only other thing I need batts for when I backpack/canoe/camp is my...

    So who has the lowest serial numbered lights?

    I still have my "CPF Edition" Arc AAA with my CPF member # on it... ;)

    The Quark lights thread!

    Perhaps I missed this answer somewhere, but this one has a reverse-clicky, right? The "tactical" one will have a forward-clicky...right? Also, will the "tactical" one have the same UI? I am sold on the moolight mode opposite the Max mode. If I get one, it will be to replace my currelt...

    Zebralight H501 Part 2

    Yeah, it was on "low" (I like your joke though). ;) I was working in a crawlspace and the higher modes were too bright for the close-up stuff. I was running it with a new L91.

    Zebralight H501 Part 2

    FWIW, I had my 501w on low for about 35 minutes straight last night and it became pretty warm but not uncomfortable to wear (just noticably warm on my forehead).

    Most "throwy" Surefire 6-9v drop-in?

    Wow! This drop-in is outstanding! Plenty of throw with just enough spill to light up a room if need be. I am very pleased! Thanks to all!
