New Quark creation?!Quark RGB on RCR123

Since my Quark TurboForce (on a single RCR 123) worked so well on my Quark CR123 body.:twothumbs I Wondered what would happen if I tried my Quark cool white RGB LED on the single CR123 tube?
(using a RCR123):thinking:
WOW! What a great idea!!! Try it!!! yet another reason to add more Quarks and Quark parts to your collection!!! You can do it "ala carte" buying each part or take an existing Quark CR123 and add a Quark RGB head. You can also run it either on a 18650 tube (or a 2 CR123 tube). What versitality!!

Here's the evolution of the single RCR123 RGB Quark

Part ONE
Inspired by a special deal (at 4 Sevens) on a separate cool white Quark RGB head, I added a Quark 18650 tube, with a new end cap and with a separate Quark TurboForce LED.

Part TWO
A single CR123 Quark with TurboForce head! (using a RCR123)
Recently, while staring at my Quark CR123, I tried the Turbo Force 2x CR123 head and learned here that a RCR123 will fully power the Turboforce head. looks and works great!!! (BTW a single primary CR123 will run the 2 AA TurboForce head at full power)

Part THREE
Then it became a RCR123 RGB Quark!!
this thing is incredible!!!!!!!!!!
I am most pleased with this new Quark creation:naughty:
even though it doesn't have a clip

Your innovations make me think . . . I've got a couple of 14500s coming over to my place. I could take a head off of one of my RGBs and put it on a Quark AA body and have that clip (I like Quark, Dereelight, and Nitecore clips more than almost any others). Thanks for the idea!

Thank you, I like that AA/ 14500 RGB idea!!


think I'll try a 14500 with the 2x CR123 TurboForce head next

After I posted I went and tried it just to see what it would look like (actually I was worried the parts wouldn't fit, but they did). The only problem I could see is that the clip, over time, may scratch up the anodizing . . . though I did loosen the clip a bit so it's not pressing too tightly against the head. I might use it, especially since I have no 123 bodies. Hmmmm, maybe a 2xAA body? Or a reverse tuxedo with a Ti body?!?! Legos are fun!!!

it sounds very good!
