=== Quark Pro ===


Quark Pro flashlights lights have a reverse clicky on the tail and feature 8 modes. With the head tightened, the modes are Max and Strobe. With the head loosened the modes are Moonlight, Low, Medium, High, SOS, and Beacon. They feature a Cree XP-G LED in cool white, but some models are also available with a warm white high CRI LED that offers better color rendering at the expense of about 30% of the output. Some have neutral versions which typically have about 7% less output. For the most part, the heads are interchangeable except the QP2L which has an operating voltage of 3-9V while the rest of the series has a voltage range of 0.9-4.2V. The Quark Pro series can tailstand.

'''Quark QP2L''' - 2xCR123A light with output of 0.2, 4, 22, 85, and 230 OTF lumens. In addition to the standard cool white tint LED, this light is also available with a high CRI or neutral tint LED. This body will not accept 18650 cells. The head of the 123² lights can accept up to 9V. They will also run fine on a single lithium-ion battery (17670) but will not be regulated the entire time. This light was formerly the 4Sevens Quark 123² Regular.

The Quark Mini series lights are more compact due to the absence of a clicky switch. All are twisty. By default they are 3-mode lights, but if you cycle through the modes twice by twisting the head on and off quickly, it becomes a 7-mode light with the addition of strobe, SOS, and high and low beacon modes. With exception of the Mini ML-X, all have Cree XP-G LED's.
