Get the 123-2 and a AA body. Then you can use the head from your 123 or the head from the 123-2 on the AA body with a 14500. Or the head from your 123 on the AA body with NiMH, L91, or alkaline.

I didn't realize you could order it without the pocket clip. I sent them an e-mail just now to see if they could send me my order without the pocket clip for my 2x 123A standard neutral light.

I think it's only the 1xCR123A that can be ordered without the clip, since the clip is not removable like the other Quarks.

Would it harm anything to take the clip off?

Clipless. Don't like bezel up carry. Only thing about it I know before it's in hand is no functional clip. I prefer them on an EDC pocket lights. Brighter 123(2) head does make sense.

The clip on the 2x123 is removable and reversible.
To remove the clip on a 1x123 that has a clip, you would have to cut it off 😱

One thing that I don't think 7777 will mind me saying about his prototypes and future lights, is you can expect the lego concept to continue... 😗

The 90lm rating is with AA batteries. With a 14500 it would be like the 123 model.

yeah, it matters. they process the orders in the order they're recieved. i pre-ordered my tk40 pretty early and was in the first batch sent out. there were a bunch of people that had pre-ordered later and didn't make the first shipment and had to wait even longer. and 7777 had to change the ship date about 3 times on that light to boot. waiting for that sucker was brutal.
i think waiting for a light to arrive gets easier as time goes on; at least for me. i think because ever since i fell into flashaholism, i've been upgrading my lights as i go and i seem to become happier with each one. i get pickier and pickier about what i buy because i've already bought lights that i really like. when i'm waiting on a light, i think to myself, "well, i do have these 30 other lights to play with in the mean time.". it depends though, if there's a new light that has a feature or something really new and cool to me, the wait is tougher.
...such a strange addiction.
I didn't get a shipping notice either. I ordered the first weekend of July so who knows. The anticipation is killing me. I have never preordered before, and the only reason I did was I didn't want to miss the chance for a warm Quark. Otherwise the whole preordering thing is not for me. I would rather wait for reviews and some real world useage before pulling the trigger. Since there have been a number of reviews and CPF users on the regular Quark line I wasn't to nervous since the only difference should be the emitter. Now back to my popcorn and tonic.
:drunk:Maybe the great and powerful Oz can help us, or maybe we will click our heels together 3 times and say, there's no place like home, there's no place like home, etc.
4sevens did say in the marketplace that the warms were shipping from China in 2 seperate batches. I bet that means some Quark combos are not yet here like the tacticals, or AA regular, etc.
Dang.....I don't have any heels. I guess I'll just have to wait for the mailman. I hope he's wearing shoes with a jet pack on them.
(hehehehehehehe).
Just got my Q123 today. I originally ordered for the neutral tint but after reading some articles that R2 bin's are quite warmer in tint than Q5s, I sent 4sevens an email last friday stating that I would like to change my order to an R2.
After opening the package, I was surprised to see that there were no markings on the head, body or the tail, except of course for the tail cap since I got the Tactical series.
Comparing it with the EX10 GDP the R2's tint is obviously warmer. At maximum, obviously the Q123 outshines and out throws the EX10 GDP. And of course the Moonbeam, it's is so nice, meaning so low, lower than EX10s lowest output. There are two issues I have with Q123, or maybe it's jsut me. First is the "pre-flash", it's quite annoying. It's depicting the purpose of a "low low" especially in a very dark environment. I hope 4 sevens can do something about this. Second, i was kinda hoping that the knurling would be as aggressive as the ex10. Other than this, especially the "pre-flash", I still think that this is a very impressive little light. :thumbsup:

It's the exact thing with me, I was psyched when I first found out about these, but being broke at that time and learning the neutrals were limited I kind of gave up hope. Then on the 3rd of July I was asked to do someone a favor (take care of their dog and cat) and was rewarded with 100 dollars. I got paid on the 18th and realized that the flashlight gods were smiling upon me and had to preorder my AA neu-tac no matter how much the wait will kill me.
Preorders get upgraded shipping right or am I confused with something else, I remember something about a 5 dollar downpayment and then that goes to upgrade the shipping?
