4 Sevens Quark X Tactical neutral white XM-L

[shunsui]

Picked up a 4 Sevens Quark X Tactical, 2xAA, with the limited run neutral white XM-L emitters. It's not disappointing. Cranks out a lot of light, and it seems like a creamy white to me. Things got a huge hot spot and a large spill ring that's bigger than my L2Tv2. These are definitely not (blue) cool white. Haven't bought a flashlight in awhile, but this seems worth the money. Lots of nice flashlights out there, just wanted to give you a heads up on the neutral white XM-L version.

Same here, although I went with the Quark 123² X Tactical. A big plus is the absence of a preflash on lower modes. While nothing major, it did provide a bit of an annoyance when trying to preserve night vision.

Tint seems to be hit or miss depending on personal preference. This run of NW by 4Sevens is on the cooler side of NW. To be honest, I prefer it's yellow-white hotspot over other NW offerings. I've noticed this to be the case with other NW XM-L lights (although not the case with the Thrunite Neutron NW versions as these should be considered warm white). I wonder how the NW XP-G lights in this run fared?
