    Power outage

    Glad everything worked out well! Power outages in Winter can be difficult. Several years ago we experienced similar outages due to ice, some areas were down for a week :crazy: You may want to consider a future backup plan. Mine!

    18650 body on a Quark

    I'm using a 123x2 head on a 18650 body with good results since I prefer declining light output vs abrupt darkness. :D Hopefully one of the experts will perform a output/runtime graph but I got 150 minutes on MAX with a EagleTac 2400 18650 cell that still measured 3.62 and producing a lot of...

    Need advice on Quark 18650 vs Quark cr123X2 runtimes & performance

    Sorry, no fancy graphs but my Quark R2 18650 ran for 150 minutes on a Eagletac 2400 cell. Cell still measured 3.6v and plenty of light.

    Pila IBC - Charging to 4.11-4.12 - Thoughts?

    I just picked up a Pila IBC over the holidays. Only (3) charge cycles thus far but 4.12 on (2) new cells. Newly discharged cell went to 4.16.

    Dedicated Primary fiend needs help

    I recently switched to 18650's as well. The Pila IBC is highly regarded twin bay charger. Tod at illuminationgear.com offers good service and a CPF discount. They also carry Eagletac 18650 2400 cells for $9.99 so I grabbed two of those as well. So far everything is working great! My Quark 123-2...

    Rechargeable 200+ Lumens

    I agree, the rechargable battery options offer more flexability. Swap out the dead battery with a charged one or regular primaries and you are back in action. I recently picked up a new 4sevens Quark Tactical 123-2, 200+ lumens for 2 hrs on MAX. I added the 18650 battery tube to extend runtime...

    Quark AA2 R2 turbo runtime

    You may want to consider adding the Quark 18650 tube and a quality rechargeable. I ran a Quark 123-2 head with the 18650 for 150 minutes on MAX and the cell still had 3.62 volts. I think 180 minutes is possible! :twothumbs

    Help me replace my surefire e2 with something better?

    I recently picked up a Quark Tactical 123-2 & the 18650 body and really like it! Keep in mind the 17650 cell has better run time vs the RCR123s. The 18650 cell extends runtime further (2.5 + hrs. on MAX) but requires the Quark 18650 body. Regarding primaries, the Battery Station Panasonic...
