Quark Minis: “Awesome Wilderness Lights” by Nutnfancy04:33

They’re tiny, lightweight, super bright, and reliable. For me that makes them some of the best “Wilderness Lights” out there. The 4Sevens Mini 123, CR2, and AA single cell lights are reviewed in this Nutnfancy flashlight video. At a whopping 189 OTF Lumens and good burn times, the 1.4 oz Mini 123 is my favorite (it also has an wonderful area-flooding beam pattern). It excels in tent illumination (just hang from gear loop!), camp lighting duties, and even serious search functions. You will be blown away by its flood of light which seems almost impossible coming from single cell torch. The tiny 1.0 oz Mini CR2 makes a great EDC light, burning for 4.4 hrs on its 40 Lumen Medium mode. It carries invisibly in your daily system and is the best choice for keychains. If battery availability is a concern, then you might want to opt for the still small and lightweight Mini AA (also 1.4 oz) that has a 90 Lumen Max mode (akaline cell). Also note with the Mini AA version: if you run “AW” brand #14500 IC-protected cells in your Mini AA it will transform the light into a mini searchlight (wow!). However the 14500 3.7 Volt 750 mah power source runs the light hard in High mode and results in more heat (could be good if you need the heat). The usually hidden but still easily accessed special modes are very useful in the Wilderness light POU as well: SOS, Strobe, High and Low Beacon modes. Expect the beacon modes to be very useful for finding your tent (boat, campsite, stranded person) again. These long running Beacon modes could be real life savers in the woods (you could leave it with your injured party as you go and seek help); it gives great piece of mind in the pitch black darkness of some wild places. For pure EDC, I do prefer the more elongated and pencil-like Preon 2 light with its clicky UI and pocket clip ( It is a proven performer as well. The Minis can no doubt be great EDC lights as well, fitting on keychains (considerations given), the included neck lanyard, or just being jammed into a pocket with a small homemade lanyard attached. The Mini lights are tough. Demonstrated in the video: a 35 foot drop onto asphalt proving as much, without breakage. PWM or circuitry whine was only in Mini AA when running 14500 cell in medium and low modes (the frequency is very high). Other upsides, especially for outdoor use: a flat base for tail standing (lantern use), good knurling, exceptionally clean beam patterns with outstanding area lighting and spill beams, Cree XPG R5 LEDs (current models, subject to change), 10 yr warranty, and proven to have excellent waterproofness (shown). Value is high, especially when acquired with the ‘nutnfancy’ discount code at the recommended suppliers. In The Nutnfancy Project (TNP) they have proven themselves as capable little performers that can provide serious lighting capabilities in tiny carry packages. ////////////////////// Music specifically licensed to TNP: “Sindustry” @
