I know I'm in for a NW Quark "X" 123² and a NW Preon 2(not XM-L obviously, but I always wanted a Preon🙂), and probably more!

Ordering one as well currently 🙂
300 lumens of power in my hand in neutral! This worked out perfectly as I just lost my EDC and was buying a new one tonight!

This is really good news! I hope they dont sell out before my next payday. Im in for at-least one.

What tint are these? I don't see that referenced anywhere.

I would also like the tint to be stated.

Also, I am only interested in a Neutral Quark "X" AA for use with a 14500. I know I can order the AA tube separately, but that's another $20 and I have no use for the AA2 tube.

Anyone want to swap an AA2 tube for an AA tube?

Same here, but I didn't lose my EDC, my EZAA started making a really annoying high pitch noise on high:scowl:. Went on 4Sevens to see what was new and what do ya know....NW XM-Ls! Can't wait to get mine.

Anytime! The NW Quark should be one sweet little light. I just hope the tint is good.

I've been needing something with some decent throw, as some butthole stole my tan coated HDS clicky out of my backpack during astronomy lab last semester :shakehead. Wasn't even a month old.

Can anybody tell me if there is any likelihood of a titanium neutral MiNiX, or should I order up an aluminum one before they sell out?

+1 I would like to know as well.

Preon 2 on the way! I have been waiting a long time for this.

 

[etherealshade]

The Preon doesn't have the XML in it; that one is still XPG only it looks like....

Re: 4Sevens Neutral-white XM-Ls are here finally!! Who's buying one?

So..... no one knows what is the temperature of these neutrals?

Re: 4Sevens Neutral-white XM-Ls are here finally!! Who's buying one?

I just paid about $1K plus for some McGizmos and now this appears? I think I should just get the AA2 XM-L first since I am looking for more AA lights now. Just not sure if I should go regular or tactical. Never had a regular Quark before and I am not sure how it would work for me.

 

[tbenedict]

Re: 4Sevens Neutral-white XM-Ls are here finally!! Who's buying one?

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the XPG neutral since it has much better run times and is plenty floody, especially compared the older neutral Quark I have.

I'm curious on the tint too. I like the 5's we have seen, but the 3's some companies are offering are still much better than cool white IMO.

I really wonder where the Q-Mini AA is in this neutrals...one of the classics that I figured would be there.

Re: 4Sevens Neutral-white XM-Ls are here finally!! Who's buying one?

The standard Quark AA was a pain for me. Too many flashy modes to cycle through. I much prefer the tactical. It needs a little reprogramming now and then, but I most just use 2 modes anyway.

 

[tbenedict]

Re: 4Sevens Neutral-white XM-Ls are here finally!! Who's buying one?

I tried the tactical for a bit, but found myself always wanting something I didn't have programmed. I like having high available all the time and kept flipping the low mode.

I could see the benefit of memory or just a quicker reset to low on the regular model.

Thanks for the response ITPython.

Now I see that I worded that wrong. I've read up on the neutral XL-M in Mac's Customs subforum, and it seems just what I'm looking for, warm tint, nice and floody but still powerful. I'm a college student on a budget during the school year, but work my *** off during the summer so I can justify buying a silly toy or two then, and my EDC is a McGizmo Sundrop that I bought when working full time. My Sundrop is literally the only light I have had for the last 8 months, and the ~48 lumens (?) has been getting me buy even as a super dismal bike light, so a neutral XL-M will be a huge increase in power for me.

So does any body think a Ti MiNiX will be available in the very near future, or should I order an aluminum?

If you want something with good throw, then perhaps a XM-L based light is not ideal for you. XM-L lights, since they have bigger emitters, are generally more floody.


As for the topic at hand, I ended up getting a Quark-X Tactical 123x2 in Neutral white. I just hope I like the tint, as I don't want a "warm" colored light, but rather as close to pure white as possible (5000k) with perhaps a touch of green/yellow (only slightly). Some of the pics I have seen here on CPF indicate the neutral whites are more neutral warm than neutral cool, so we'll see. I requested in the comments section of 4sevens to give me one as close to 5000k as possible, lets see if they take my request.

Now that I purchased the QXT-NW, I am going to have to sell my few week old Quark-X Tactical 123x2. Would love to keep both, but I just can't afford it.

I received a ship notice for my 123 2 X regular neutral. I'm expecting a green tint like my S2 and X10. If I get a white tint light I will be delighted.
