5.0 out of 5 stars This just might be the perfect everyday-carry flashlight, April 5, 2010

This review is from: Quark Mini AA 1XAA 90-Lumens CREE XP-G S2 LED Pocket Flashlight Black

This one is an easy 5-stars. What a great little light! It's hard to appreciate just how small it is until you actually get it in your hands, but for a flashlight the size of my index finger, it performs like a full-size flashlight. The hot spot is the largest I've seen in an LED flashlight, and the spill area is huge, so it's perfect for close-up work or if you're lighting up the ground as you're walking. It also features the smooth, artifact free beam that the Quark series is known for.

Fit and finish of the light is excellent. The head and body mate well together with no thread play or wobbling, and the action is silky smooth. It's easy to operate with one hand, yet it's still tight enough that it won't twist apart or turn itself on in your pocket. It's also waterproof and survived a 15-minute immersion test in a sink full of water, so no worries if the MiNi gets wet.

I really like the interface, too. It sensibly turns on in low, and a simple on-off-on changes modes (low to medium to high). It also has the special "blinky" modes (strobe, SOS, beacon) that some people like, but they're "hidden" in such a way that they're easy to access if you want them but won't get in your way during normal operation since it's pretty much impossible to activate them by accident.

Another great feature is that it's powered by a single AA battery which are inexpensive and easy to find pretty much anywhere in the world. Surprisingly, it can also be powered by a AAA battery in a pinch. It's not specifically designed for this, and the battery rattles around a bit, but it's a nice last-resort option.

This is one of those rare products that gets everything right and does nothing wrong. I have no complaints at all. It's a fantastic light.

What can I say that has not been said about this light? It is amazingly bright for such a small package. The beam is solid and does not have any dark and light spots like most flashlights.

Fit and finish is top notch. I have carried it in my pocket for the last couple of weeks and it has not come unscrewed once. The coating is tough as it is tossed in my pocket with a knife, jewelers loop, usb drive, and a bunch of change and does not have a scratch on it.

This is a great little flashlight with lots of features. It is reliable and sturdy; made by a great company. Great for a pocket or around the neck or anywhere else. Doesn't have momentary on but still a great light. Super bright and uses AA which is very common if you run out. Get it.
