Quark 123x2 Turbo or Lumapower Trust Model 2???

looking for a light that runs on two cr123 cells. ive narrowed it down to the Quark 123x2 Turbo and the Lumapower Trust Model 2. i love 4Sevens but the Lumapower is about 15$ cheaper and way more lumens.

anyone have any experience with either of them? if someone has both could you post a picture of them side by side? thanks guys!

I have the Quark Ti Turbo123/2.

With 2 programmable settings and 8 functions, it's hard to beat. It was the second light I bought. Its size may be the only downside compared to a solitary 123 battery light. It is versatile enough to be a weapon mounted light.

NutNFancy has a great review.

Hi tonester.

I have both the Quark and the Trust model-2.

No question, go for the Quark. The Trust model-2 is a nicely made light, everything works fine, but the lumens is GREATLY overstated. I'd be surprised it it was actually half of what is stated. I found it a great disappointment as I purchased it after getting the Trust model-1 and it was fantastic.

Moving to LED Flashlights...

Thanks guys I'm gonna go with the quark

I also have the LumaPower Trust Model2 and my Quark Mini AA2 is brighter than it is. Get the Quark Turbo

Also, these two lights serve different purposes. The Quark Turbo is meant to be a more throwy light. I have one & love it. The trust model 2 appears to be more of floody light with the smaller head; however, the trust model 2 would be better for EDC because of its smaller & slimmer size. My favorite lights to EDC are of that size & smaller. I would not EDC a Quark Turbo as it is slightly too large for my uses.

On another note, 4sevens is about to come out with a new version of the Quark Turbo called the "TurboX 123x2." It has the new XM-L LED in it, and the head has been redesigned to handle the larger LED size - they made the head larger. Check it out - ClickHere

The AA2 Turbo will not be receiving the XM-L emitter; only the TurboX 123x2 will get it. So you may want to hold out for a little longer....although I have no idea how long that will be.

+1 on the lumapower not looking as bright as advertised
