I got myself a
4Sevens Quark 123² Turbo "X"
This puppy is BRIGHT. 450 Lumens. It can be programmed to hold 2 different lighting types in memory at a time, wich is with head fully screwed in, and not fully screwed in... lets call it low and high mode.
the different modes are, as shown on the website,
Moonlight: 0.3 lumens for 20 days, (1ma)
Low: 8 lumens for 2.6 days (10ma)
Medium: 60 lumens for 13 hours (50ma)
High: 260 lumens for 3 hours (250ma)
Max: 450 lumens for 1.5 hours (990ma)
Strobe: 450 lumens for 3 hours
SOS: 450 lumens for 6 hours
Beacon: 0-450 lumens pulse for 15 hours
I use the flashlight for both airsoft and urban exploration.
For urban exploration, I set the low mode to medium and high mode to either High or Max mode.
For aisoft, I set the low mode at low or medium(I prefer low so it doesn't ruin my night vision as much as medium...), and I set the hight mode on strobe, A strobe at 450 lumens WILL make everybody in front totally incapable of doing anything, especially when in extremely low light. The only drawback is that It totally ruin my night vision for a good 10 minutes lol.
So yeah, I say "I set it to", but actually its more like "I will set it up to" as I didn't used it for airsoft yet... I kindof hesitate because I fear the glass will shatter if a BB hits it... I' also need to find a way to protect it...
