I've just received the Quark Mini 123 from 4sevens.com!

 

Wow. it is small and light. Feels great in hand. Nice knurlings and a bit of indented body for more secure grip. 

Has a simple twisty activation and comes with Low-Med-High 3 mode by default. (does have hidden strobe/sos modes) 

It's very bright! Apparently up to around 190 lumens out the front. That's at least 220+ lumens at emitter imo.

 

Comes in a gift box with a nice high quality and very long lanyard + hook clip and a spare o-ring. 

Back of the battery barrel has a big spring inside and has enough depth / travel for even protected RCRs.

It doesn't crush the batteries whatsoever. However, there isn't a reverse polarity protection. Well, I never needed it. =P

 

I hope to write up a review soon. This time, with beam shots. (gawd, my reviews lately don't have any. I know. Sorry)


Some more pics of this baby are below:

Some extra observations:

1. The threads have enough travel that even when you've unscrewed it enough to turn it off, if you squeeze it, it turn on. (Like a momentary switch)

2. It tail stands flat and stable even with it attached to the lanyard.

Wow! It really is tiny. My smallest single CR123 is pretty much the same length as the Trustfire light. Pity it won't take an 18650 :)

Looking forward to your review Jay, I’d be interested in how it copes with heat considering the small size and low mass.

 

Nice looking light though.

I haven't had too much timt to use it today but I did try using RCR with it (haven't checked if it's okay to do so) and after only like 5 minutes, it got quite hot. I think it'll get too hot to use after about 15minuts of constant High mode. Well, it's only guessing atm. I'll try and will report back later on or in my review. I've already taken the kitchen shots with it at least. =)
