Need advice before buying my first Quark

I am considering to buy a Quark AA flashlight. There are some options related to the four Sevens Quark. I like that there are options, but I'm Confused. Can anyone tell:

1. Is neutral white close to warm white (tint), or is neutral and warm the same? What kind of led comes with the Quark neutral white head? Has anyone beamshots that shows the difference between Cool white, neutral white and warm white Quarks.

2. When it comes to the Quark tactical series. Is it momentary on and the possibility of programming the flashlight that differs tactical from regular?

Hope You Can help me out. Thanks

Go to this thread and scroll down to the beam shots for a comparison of cool white and neutral white. I can't help you with warm white because I have no experience with it.

Yes you're correct on the difference of Tactical and Regular, + Regular can tail stand, if that's important to you.

Thanks! What kind of led comes with the Quark neutral white head?

The neutral white heads utilize the Cree XP-E emitter in the Q3 5A bin/tint combo.

That gets you 93 to 100 lumens (at the emitter) when driven at 350 ma.

I love my neutral white quark. Everything looks better under that than under cool white LED's.

Q3 5A tint

Thanks! I was hoping it was XP-G neutral white, but Q3-5A will do. I like neutral white better. Especially for outdoor use.

The Quark neutral white is 5A. Not available new at this time.
The Quark WARMS is either 7A3 or 7B4. Current limited production run.


The Quark cool white is ANSI 1. This is similar to WC in the old chart

4 Sevens have neutral white (head only). I was thinking of buying a Quark AA R5 and the neutral white head plus a couple of different bodies to lego with.

Does any of you know if the spare bodies comes with battery storage cap and belt clip, or do I have to buy the seperatly?

The bodies I've bought came with caps, but not with clips.

Let me take that back, the 123 body didn't have a clip, but I think the 123-2 body did come with a clip.

I did what you are planning last month.

Got 2x quarks along with a NW head and all available bodies.
They all came with caps and clips. AA, 18650.

No clip on the 123 of course.

Thank you! Quark is a very versatile flashlight. I think I Will place an order later today

I'll only add two more things:

The NW is only available In the Regular UI; the Tactical is sold out. Don't forget to use the "CPF8" discount code during checkout for an 8% discount:thumbsup:.

I think I will go with the regular Quark. Thanks for reminding me of the discount code. I almost forgot. Saved me $12 Quark AA R5, AA2 body, 123 body, NW head and spare tail ordered.

Oh no.
Its a slippery slope you just went down.

I followed that up with a Mini CR2, some WW mini's and now a Titanium Preon.
They are quality lights.

I think they have neutral white Quarks in stock at 4sevens Poland.

Hmm.. how does that work out? Like making a special request order to 4seven's and telling them to ask the pl site to ship over to us, then to us?
