#Versatile maelstrom sapphire series#

Let me say up front that I do not have the equipment necessary to test lumens. One of the key selling points of this light is the incredible 800 lumen maximum output. At intermediate distances of about 100m though, the MMR-X illuminates the target very well. On its highest output, I find that at about 200m the light reaches a point that it does not illuminate the target in a useful manner. This gives the MMR-X a good amount of throw, but make no mistake the MMR-X is more of a “floody” light, it just also has some pretty good throw.

This is actually a good thing, as the XM-L series emitters that the MMR-X lights use needs a bit larger reflector than the XP-G emitters. It has however found a home on my Maxpedition Versipack, and would be super handy in a situation where I needed a lot of light.įor an idea of the size difference between the MMR-X (on the left) and the light I carry daily (on the right), here they are side by side: Couple this with the fact that the user can reconfigure the light in several ways, and this is quite a versatile light.īecause of its size, I would personally not carry this as an EDC light, though I have a friend who carries a SureFire light that is about the same size (though nowhere near as bright). This light is a large departure from the Quark line in many ways, while being relatively small in form factor.

In addition to the standard spare oring (the wording has actually been changed to plural in the collateral (reflecting that they include more than one with every light I’ve ever bought from them), this light came with spare rubber boots, a flat bezel, and parts to convert the tailcap to a flat cap. I continue to be impressed with FourSeven’s commitment to providing good customer service.

This light is the first FourSevens light to be powered by an 18650 cell. When the MMR-X arrived, I was quite delighted to find that FourSevens was including a number of accessories that allows the user to configure the light in several different ways, depending on the users preferences. I was really intrigued by the possibilities of having a USB chargeable 18650 light. This light has served me well and is still found in my pocket every day. I’ve as anyone who has read my previous flashlight reviews knows, I currently carry a modified version of the QT2A-X daily, and have been running it on a 14500 LiPo cell. I was highly excited to be contacted by FourSevens about reviewing a light powered by an 18650 LiPo cell.
