so i have a fenix tk11 r5 and two quark aa lights a tactical and regular. i run a 18650 in the fenix and 14500s in the quarks. i love the rechargable lithium batterys. i really like the run time i can get out of a 18650, but dont really like the looks of the lights that use them. i carry my quark all the time. the only time i dont have my quark on me is when im sleeping or in the shower. i never use the fenix because its just too bulky to carry on me. i really want a flashlight that is the same diamiter front to back like a quark and uses the 18650 battery. only looking for around 250 lumens on max. will take more if availible, and would like a beam that is more flood that thrower. i find the fenix to be a good thrower, but is almost useless in tight quarters. just gives me a big hot spot. the quark is perfect except for run time, and could be alittle brighter.

thanks in advance
matt

wait, have you seen the Lumintop ED20? also the SC600 might solve this if you have 90+ bucks to spare.

If you could get a Quark 18650 tube, then you could use your quark head on it.

Eagletac D25CL2, 300 some lumens but its a twisty or the Zebra light SC600 it has a larger head but its one of the smallest 18650 lights and puts out over 700lm or the Fenix PD31/32 would be good sense you like your fenix light. I think even the TK21 is floodier than the TK11 and TK15.

I was guna say that but the 18650 tubes go for about the price of a SC600 ha

The MG S-Mini is worth a look. It's small, bright and has long runtimes with excellent regulation. It also has mode memory and is very similar in quality to the Quark.
