I have a Quark Turbo X, just got it yesterday and love the output and noticed what I thought might have been a film or funk on the
inside, I want this to be a duty light because the spill and hot spot is wonderful and wider and perfect for my needs.

SO I called and emailed some pics to Four Sevens and am just curious because when you compare it to
the Quark Turbo and then the TK35 it seems there is something there, I am waiting to hear what they say because here
is the best part, the ebay seller tells me I should be able to have a warranty on the light, Four Sevens is working with me to find out
if it was a wholesaler and if so which it was, because they don't condone the selling of their lights on ebay. I didn't know. Now I do, :(
Of course no returns, :-(

Guess we'll see what happens.

But on moonlight and looking into the lens directly it looks clear as a bell,

What do you guys/gals think...

First pic is on med with exposure turned a bit
Second pic is all three on high but w/exposure turned way down,
Third pic is with exposure turned way down to try and show what I am seeing
Fourth is negative imaging

Well I experimented when I got home and put the head face down on top of a Mag 85 I had made, turns out the warmer it gets the more the condensation show showed itself, I am just thankful I found out what it was,

So how does one remove condensation from a head that is " sealed"

I really wanna use this light by next week!

Does rice really work?

Looks fairly normal to me mine does that as well (so does some other brand lights), I just though it had something to do with the intensity/heat in that part of the lens.
