Let me ask a question,, are they going with the XP-G Gen2 over the XM-L because the XP-G series has more throw?

They'll still have the XM-L lights. The XP-G2 versions will replace the XP-G models as far as I understand. The XP-G2 has improved throw and a bit more output than the original XP-G.

Also the xpg2 is brighter than the XML at lower drive levels like used in the mini ML
ML-XPG 180 lumens
ML-X 210 lumens
ML-XPG2 216 lumens and a lot more throw

I think I like the deeper blue color better if I was going to pick one. Also, 20% isn't that impressive of an increase in output as your eye can't see 20%. It needs about 40% increase in brightness to tell a difference.

I think I am more annoyed with the pre-flash than the bad tints.

I thought they got rid of the pre-flash

Trust me, if youve got them to compare it is definately a noticable increase.

Ok, I believe you if you've seen it. I was just made to believe/understand (according to Henry) that it took a 41% increase to notice the difference. I know I couldn't tell a difference between my 90 and 110lm Surefire Backup back when I had them both.

I think its partly because of the tighter focus possible with the XPG-2

Ah. That makes sense

Rolex:

If you'd like your review posted to the reviews section, I suggest that you put the text in the OP.

Using a link to drive up traffic to your own site is kinda uncool... Opposed to the almost 8000k looking gunk coming out the front of that XP-G2.

I own a couple of Quark lights, and they've all had the emitters replaced. I think ma_sha1's on the money

Re: REVIEW: The XP-G Gen 2 Lights From FOURSEVENS>>>>>>>>>>

Of course OP has to throw superlatives all over the xpg2 quarks in question here. "impressive 20%" are the staple of these kinds of "reviews"

what am i saying? this is the modus operandi of most manufacturers. to hand out free products in exchange for favorable reviews. hand out enough of them and you've just spammed google search results with "reviews" extolling the virtues of the said products

LOL. foursevens are great lights, i purchased thirteen, yes 13, so far. none of them had a hideous tint, in fact the XMLs all had a very nice creamy white. we'll see what the real deal is with the G2's when someone more reputable comes in to report

How about because no one else can manage to make anything as good for my needs - long long runtime low lumen modes in a AA/14500?

Yeah I also have a Zebralight but it doesn't take 14500s, is already a throw-away if it stops working (out of warranty), and it's 172 lms Max is not even as bright as my 107 lms Quark on High.

In the case of the P2, I could tell a noticeable difference at the high end comparing it to last year's version.

I received a FOURSEVENS QP2L-X few days ago...

I compared it with my Quark X 123² which is the same flashlight except for the logo...

And wath ?

The difference between these two flashlights is amazing!

If we can tell the difference only with more than 41% in brightness I can tell you something the difference between these two flashlights is astonishing, unbelievable!!!

The spill is larger with the QPL-X with no, but no "very light brown tint" in the middle, absolutely nothing only whiteness.

Examining carefully the LED and the texture of the reflector, the LED is exactly the same but the reflector seem to have lightly more OP in it.

I have always been satisfied with my Quark 123² XP-G R5 and 123² XM-L T6 but now the QPL-X (XM-LT6) it is a real dream come true : the smallest and brightest two CR123A flashlight ever seen, the best EDC flashlight ever made.

And with how many flashlights you can do this, a free headlamp with a free baseball cap? (see picture)

Well said. The 1xAA Quark is going to ROCK with this new emitter.
