Did your 123 come with the little key ring that your lanyard attaches to? When I recieved my mini 123, it didnt have anything for the lanyard to attach to. I was curious if it was an error on their part or if it's something I have to get on my own. Thanks.

@car97 - Yes, it came with everything you see in the video

Gonna order a quark mini123 first and later a blue or black preon 1

4Sevens has horrible customer service.

@jbum03

You have an entire forum @ candlepowerforums that would disagree with you.

144 lumens for the s3 . . .

[jimmyhoffa9]

@rbahng yeah, but 210 lumens for the xm-l t6 for one hour, thats basically more efficient and brighter than some surefires.

Mah is milli amp hours so basically how long it lasts

hi, i am looking to find my husband an awesome xmas present and wanted to know what u recommended from 4sevens? i am leaning towards the regular size quark 123 and maybe a freon (i believe that's the name?) i have NO clue about flashlights so any input is appreciated. thanks in advance!

[urbantacticool]

@ChristinaLovesSushi - The Preon has the size and shape of a pen; its a great pen light for the money and carries easily in a shirt or pants pocket. The quark123 is brighter than the preon, but its more substantial than a pen light. I have both and I find that I carry the preon more on my person, where I use the quark "around the house" or mounted on a rifle. Both are excellent lights, and your husband will be stoked to get either (or both) as a gift!

@ChristinaLovesSushi your husband is so lucky lol. Urban's right, i have the preon 2 and i love it. As for the 123 i'd probably get the mini unless he's going to mount it on a rifle or something like that. Usually smaller means you'll carry/use it more.

P.S. usually you can get them cheaper if you dont go to the manufacturers website, try google or amazon first and see what comes up.

Nice part 1 of review. Just for your info, you might have missed it, but this is in fact waterPROOF to IPX-8 standard, which means it's pretty well completely waterproof. This is a copy/paste from the 4Sevens website page for the Mini 123:

"Water resistance: IPX-8"

Any issue with accidental activation while in your pocket?

[urbantacticool]

@irhombus - No, but with the included lanyard, I don't wear it in my pocket. As I stated in my vid, give it a good 360 degree turn off, or it has a greater chance of coming on when you may not want it to.

[bigallay]

interesting light, I don't mean this in a harsh way but you could kind of "get to it" a little quicker. but you are well spoken and I enjoyed it.

[urbantacticool]

@bigallay - Heh, I'll work on the "diarrhea of the mouth" in future vids!

[slashfan1401]

Thanks for the review, it's a great light!
