My main EDC/pocket light has been pretty much the same for 3 years or so. Current is a Quark 123^2 Tactical R5. Before that it was an extremely similar Fenix. I really like that size/style. However, I want more balls out of it both in terms of raw lumens and throw.
These lights have been carried in my offside (left) front pants pocket oriented vertically next to a 2oz can of Fox Labs OC. However, I may change that can of OC to a much thinner can of Sabre Red, for various reasons, which potentially opens the door for a wider light (head) in that location.
What are my best options? I have not been following much of anything, at all, for awhile and am very out of the loop. I like Fenix and 4Sevens. I have had poor experiences with Surefire (plus they are so big they don't get the new tech as quickly). I am thinking $85 or so max. Anything 100+ won't even get serious consideration at this point in time.
I would prefer 2x123 with the option of a single 17670 because those are what I already have. I like the clickies, and I like the tactical UI that my Quark currently runs. I cannot stand twisties unless the light is a backup/keychain light. IMO twisties only really go on keychains.
The new Quark 123^2 Turbo "X" caught my eye when I saw the email about it from 4Sevens. That is one fat head for front pocket carry, though...almost 1/4" wider than that 2oz can of OC was...So perhaps the ballpark of 450 lumens is as good as anything if I am to throw a number out there. Or brighter, of course. Runtime is not a huge concern as long as it is usable and doesn't fade quickly. I carry more than one light, even if the second is just a keychain deal.
So...whatcha got?
