So the Quark tactical interface has always been my favorite next to something like a HDS light, but 230lm wasn't all that great for the price (I have gotten a Jetbeam BC25, BC20 and a Klarus NT20 each for less than a Quark 123^2 and the later 2 are XP-G's). Now I really want to get one a 123^2 "X" but I don't like how the output starts dropping immediately I wish it would just come on at around 480lm and stay there for 2 or 3 min before dropping to 360lm, like a timed 3-5 min step down on the Jetbeams ect.
The XP-G model start at about 245lm (probably just from the batteries voltage being greater at start up idk) quickly goes to 230 and stays there where the XM-L starts at over 500 soon drops to 480 then keeps dropping to about 450-430 where at 3 min it dive bombs to 360 from thermal regulation where it levels off. It would be great if it just turned on at 4XX then at 3 min went to 360 and that was it.
I couldn't find one but has anyone tested the Turbo X with a run time graph? Does its heat sinking help it maintain a higher brightness longer?
