Hope this is in the right subforum! Just wanted to say hello to everybody. I bought my first "real light" as a dedicated weaponlight about 3 months ago. It's a Fenix TK11 R2 and I'm blown away by the output in such a small, light package...though the color of the light is not pleasant (greenish and ghostly), it does it's intended job which is give some reach into the night. These CR123's are new to me and boy are they an eye opener into how technology has improved since the Maglite reigned king. :) Anyways, a picture to get me started:

My next light is in the mail; it's a 4Sevens Quark Mini 123, a light I see is very popular here. I ordered the warm white version and I anticipate that I will like that color temperature much better than the stark cold color of the R2 in my Fenix.
 
Love that pic. Is that your rifle/light combo?

Welcome to CPF! Where your life becomes brighter and your wallet lighter. :laughing:

Yup, that's an AR15 I built with the TK11 finishing it off. Here's another one so you can see the gun a bit better.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm quite used to wallet-lightening forums! :)

Thanks for listing the specs! So many pieces go into one build. I hadn't heard of Mega Forged before.

Edit: Your TK11 is nice too! lol
