Foursevens: Research Poll- what do you want to see?

[Nokoff]

I think surefire also patented the color black. And light. And the word flashlight.

Lol

Who is "Surefire"? Are they a subsidiary of Suefire?

Yes, Suefire owns all things flashlight related.

It's insane that they can "own" such a basic design concept, and would be willing to sue over its use, and yet they don't even make a single flashlight that uses that technology. Haven't for a long time. Ridiculous. Sorry that I got us kinda off topic.

I would love to see a return of the Atom series of lights with maybe even some emitter options. They are wonderfully simple lights that are insanely compact. Literally smaller than many or all of the spare cell carriers out there.

On my keychain I have a V.1 Black Beta with a CPF 15th anniversary Atom A0 acting as a backup light/alternate beam pattern/long long runtime option/spare cell carrier for the beta. It's literally smaller than the AAA spare cell holder from county comm, and it doubles as a very nice mule light.

I'd love to see the return of the AAA, AA, and 123A versions with the nicer emitters Prometheus Lights is known for.

Unfortunately any "progressive twist head to select modes" design is prevented by Surefire's lawyers.

And what about magnetic ring interface? For example, my TN32 features it and it is wonderful.

How do other manufacturers get away with it?

I like simple lights. 1x and 2x aa, aaa and cr123. Typically with a 2-3modes including a max brigtness and a low mode. Strobe/flash isnt necessary. Rock solid durability and waterproofness are. As are dirt tough forward clickies.

This. And a forward clicky body for the Mini Turbo, please. (And back on topic please, which was a 4sevens wishlist if I recall...)

Yea. Sometimes I carry the Mini Turbo for a UL trail finder. A clicky would be nice. Also NW. In fact NW and Clicky would make it fantastic.

How about a voice UI, like Star Trek ?

Verbally speaking . . .

"" Flashlight ON 70% ""

"" Flashlight ON 12% ""

"" Flashlight OFF ""

"Let there be light!" Would work.

One more vote for an 18650 Quark body.

One more vote for an 18650 Quark body.

One new quark will have a 16650 and 80+ CRI 5000K Nichia 319. Hopefully around 600 lumens, but an 18650 will not fit.

One new quark will have a 16650 and 80+ CRI 5000K Nichia 319. Hopefully around 600 lumens, but an 18650 will not fit.

Any idea on a timeframe when it will be released?

Guess i'll justhave to order another quark off ebay to swap leds and hold me over till then.😁
I have a QP2L-X with burst mode and a 123-2 body along with a pro tailcap coming in tomorrow and am debating on a 5000k xm-l2 led in this one. Already have 2 123-2's with a 3000k and a 4000k in them.

New Quark coming your way! Unfortunately they might not be done for the holidays, but I'm considering opening up a pre-order to gauge interest. First batch will be two-tone HAIII Black/Natural. Comment if you like that plan!
Price not confirmed: retail @$65 / pre-order @$50
Details are still developing but roughly: 16650 battery (included), Nichia 319, 5000K, 80+CRI, 600 lumens burst, 300 lumen high, 1 lumen low, new UI (same as pre-production Preons), new pocket clip (as pictured previously).

 

[Strintguy]

Don't know if it's been said, but I'd love a 1xAA, able to take 14500, tough built with high CRI.

I'll second that. Something simple, sleek, with a flush clip that doesn't stick out a mile (Olight). UI must be simple as well without useless tacticool modes...or at least hide them.
