Quark turbo x review?

[GForGeep]

As anyone seen a turbo x review with lux I can't seem to find one and I'm itching to pull the trigger by tomorrow. Please help me if you can :-)

I haven't seen a comprehensive detailed review yet.

Quark Turbo "X" is actually around 500 lumens and 10,000 lux@1m.

By those numbers alone, I am quite impressed and I will have to purchase this light very very soon

yup! this is a great light! do wait for it go to on sale. Here's a screen cap of mine during the black friday sale:

then here is the light with an AA2 tube rocking two 14500's for added runtime:

And here's my budding thrower family:

Soon to be joined by the Sunwayman T20CS and the Olight M3X which are on delivery. :)

Thanks for the pics, it actually looks cool with the AA2 body :-)

Now about the whole "waiting till it goes on sale"... That's gonna be hard to do, but that price is awesome. How did you manage that?

I hope that Dave has another round of that "Black Friday Sale" last end of November where in selected lights went on 30% off. The Turbo X was the last light in the list that went on 30% sale (I was checking every day since day one) so I got it at 59 bucks, then I entered the CPF promo code to get another 8% off, so i got the light at a total of 38% so i just had to buy it! :)

But hey, if you cant wait, go ahead! It sure is worth it! :) Lots of people pulled the trigger right away when the light came out about mid of last year. It can hold its own along with the other throwers in similar format. I own a BC25 and the throw of this Turbo X is comparable their Lux is identical but i find the beam of the Turbo X to be a bit wider but brighter (due to the bigger head no doubt)

Cheers!

I don't NEED the turbo x, but I sure WANT it. I'm sure it's worth full price, but I would hate myself to buy it now and it goes on sale the next holiday (maybe even valentine's day). So I guess I'll wait and purchase a smaller light to get me by for now. Unless of course I find a great deal on another light.

Wow I'm an addict.

I was googling for a review of this light and found this thread, pretty cool it can be used on AA^ body with 2X 14500 cells. It might actually look balanced. What is the run time ?

 

[KeyGrip]

Yea...I'm curious about that as well. I was thinking of picking up a AA^2 Tac. anyway, and this is just icing on the cake if my TurboX head can fit on it.

Hahaha! I can SO RELATE! Hahha! I've wanted this light since the day it was offered by four sevens, sure there may be better ones out there, but none are like the Turbo X!

I haven't really tested the runtime, but it seems to run longer than two RCR123's. I will get you the figures after testing this weekend. It's nicer to hold with the 2xAA tube, the 2x123 tube of the turbo x is not that long.

It will. I run my turbox head off two 14500's and the AA^2 tube.

Ah U Suk Roadkill....

Hahaha! Once a flashaholic, always a flashaholic! :)

It will give new life to your old AA^2 tube when you run it with a Turbo X head. :)

Amen to that Bro! :)
