Quark MiniX Effective Range?

[JNieporte]

I know what the manufacturer's rating is, but...
What is the maximum effective rang of the Quark 123 MiniX on high? I'm waiting for mine to show up, but I wanted other users' opinions. For sake of clarity, let's say "maximum effective range" is the farthest away you can be, in the pitch dark, and still make out a person's identity by their face.

Check out Marshall's video. He gives a great demo on effective range as compared to an S3 Mini 123.

I use my Mini X with IMR 16340s LiIons only and I would say easily 50 meters on high (~450 lumens with a freshly charged cell).

I use my Mini X only with primaries but I still say that 50 meters on high is a reasonable figure.
