I have a warm standard 123 on order and was just about to order a warm Tac AA but noticed only 90 lm. Is this the same on a 14500 as well?
oldpal, Dhart, Vox, thanks for the input, guys! Or should I curse you? I really don't need more lights...
But I guess that makes up my mind. I already have an old Nitecore DI(from the very first batch with the "strong light") so the switch to a D10 wouldn't be that big, especially the beam. The Quark on the other hand, seems to be a totally different beast, and I have heard so much good about the XPE. I really like the D10, but I'll guess I'll pick one up later when they'll eventually update it. Makes you wonder though if 4seven is going to do more collaborations with Nitecore now when they have Quark.
Just a couple of minor questions more though. Does anyone know if there is a low battery warning on QuarkAA and when it kicks in? And can you still use lower light levels after you ran out the battery on the highest?

It will be the same as the 2AA and CR123 versions, but the warm versions will have lower lumens than stated, the AA will be slightly less than 90 lumens, except for on 14500.
Man I hope I get my shipping notice today

Does anyone know how many lumens the neutral 2x 123A is? I have it on order, but still haven't heard a lumen stated other then it's lower then the website states.

On my Quark AA i couldn't notice any difference between high and turbo until i put in the 14500 and then saw a difference. 90lms on a quark seem like lots of light and on 14500 is tons and still have the nice moonlight mode, cool

You can go through the modes by activating the switch without clicking (Momentary) but you do have to get it to the "set mode" before you can change them. (head twist about 4 times = set mode)
Awesome, thanks!!! I sort of figured you wouldn't have to click each time, but in the video showing the tac's ui, the guy clicks it each time.

I just checked email and I got a shipping notice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!
Does it matter when you preordered, ie first come first served and maybe those who ordered at a later date (like myself) might not get theirs from this first batch or is the first batch for the preorderers and the second is for in store stock?
I have to give you guys a lot of credit. This is my first preorder and the anticipation kills me lol. How do you guys do it?

Thanks. I'm now torn between a warm Tac 123(2) on a 17670 or AA running 14500. Trying to decide which will cover the bases when complimented with my warm 123 standard.
You can run both 17670 and 14500 on either head, but of course the 2 x 123 head will be brighter, but shorter runtime than the AA head. Not sure if that helps or just made things any more complicated, but you know the CPF motto, buy both! I'd suggest the 2 x 123 head for increased brightness over your 123 standard. Did you get a clipped 123 head or clipless?
On another note, I just figured out how to have my e-mail service send me a text when I get something from 4sevens!!! I'm no longer in need of constantly checking and staying glued to this computer lol.
