Default Re: 4Sevens Quark AA Comparison Review

A few more observations after playing around with the light for the better part of two days:
  • SOS is way too slow, and the spacing between letters is way too long. Seems to me it'd be difficult for someone to recognize the pattern the way it's set-up. They should have asked some hams what it should look like when designing that feature.
  • The difference between High and Turbo is barely perceptible with a AA cell, but that's what you'd expect going from 70 to 90 lumens.
  • My light tends towards slightly greenish on moonlight and becomes more yellowish as I increase the brightness, very similar to the beam shots posted earlier in this thread.
  • I wish the time it took to "reset" the light after turning it off was shorter. 3-seconds is a fairly long time (though it seems closer to 4). I think 1-second would have been sufficient. Short wait for it to reset, but you wouldn't have to rapid-fire click it to change modes.
  • I love moonlight mode. It's just the right amount of usable light for dark-adjusted eyes.
  • Surprisingly good throw for such a small light powered by a single AA. It puts a decent spot on my back fence about 100ft away, though I'd love to see what it could do with a higher power cell.
Just a few random thoughts.
