    Opinions/Recommendations Quark 123² R2//SF 6PX

    Just to be sure, is this the light you are talking about? http://www.4sevens.com/product_info.php?cPath=297_365&products_id=2072

    Surefire tailcap swaps.. which ones work?

    There's no tap. It's spring loaded. Press lightly and it turns on on low. Press harder and it goes up to high. You have to hold the pressure for whichever level of light you want. If you screw the tail cap onto the light more than a certain amount it turns on to low and stays on for as long as...

    Surefire tailcap swaps.. which ones work?

    I've used a Surefire L1 LED for EDC for the better part of a decade. I decided to go with something presumably giving better throw to light up farther away. I went with a sale and ordered the Surefire G2X. I'd like to keep the twist cap I'm used to with the L1. Is there a tail cap that gives the...

    The SureFire 6PX/G2X Tactical and 6PX/G2X Pro Thread

    LAPG... L.A. Police Gear and coupon code is lapg15 that I think is good through tomorrow for 15% off anything not just Surefire.

    The SureFire 6PX/G2X Tactical and 6PX/G2X Pro Thread

    Is there an L1 style push for temp and twist for on tailcap that will work with the G2X flashlight? I'm used to that with my L1 and would like to keep the same UI if possible.

    Which light should I go with?

    Well, I wound up ordering the G2X from LAPG with a 15% off promo plus free shipping so for $73 I've got the light and a dozen batteries ordered. I hope the wait isn't too long.

    The SureFire 6PX/G2X Tactical and 6PX/G2X Pro Thread

    Just ordered the G2X plus a dozen batteries with the 15% LAPG discount and free shipping. I'd like to have an LX2 but for 3 times the price of the G2X I just couldn't do it. Hopefully the backorder wait won't be too long.

    Which light should I go with?

    I was leaning a little toward the GxD light to have the low and medium outputs similar to what I have now and the high setting for the once in a great while when I need more light.

    Which light should I go with?

    I'm trying to choose a new light. I was leaning toward the 4Sevens R2 Tactical with the XP-E emitter using 2 CR batteries for $58.65 now. I just got an email with a 15% discount from LAPG. My current EDC is the Surefire L1. I'm looking for more light for a greater distance than my L1 gives me...

    Surefire lumens vs. 4Sevens lumens

    OK, so it's beginning to look like the R2 in the 2 CR123 model is probably the best compromise of price/performance with the XP-E R2 emitter.

    Surefire lumens vs. 4Sevens lumens

    Thanks for the replies so far. I am learning a lot about lights but there's lots more to learn. Please keep all the good replies coming.

    Surefire lumens vs. 4Sevens lumens

    The lights I'm interested in are: Surefire L1 dual output (already have it) Preon 2 (2AAA) Mini AA2 R2 Tactical 123-2 R5 123-2 Turbo I'm looking for a light with multiple output for use mostly in the lower output settings. Once in a while I'll use the highest setting to look for...

    Surefire lumens vs. 4Sevens lumens

    I know xx lumens should be the same no matter who makes the flashlight. I presume, out of lack of knowledge, the perceived brightness of two lights with identical lumen ratings could be different due to different reflectors and other factors? I'm looking at some of the 4Sevens lights as an EDC...

    Quark aa2 / Quark Turbo aa2... what's different???

    What batteries give the best performance with the Turbo? Does the light fit in the included holster with the included handgrip installed? Does anyone use the handgrip and if so when and how do you like it?

    Quark aa2 / Quark Turbo aa2... what's different???

    Now that I know what I'm looking for it's "well duh" apparent the reflector is larger on the turbo. I'll mostly want the low setting for making sure I don't step on my glasses or something and medium setting for looking for whatever stuff I've stowed away and want to retrieve. Once in a while...
