Thinking to buy this one... For general EDC (yes I know it's tactical, but I like the options and overall of it) purposes...

And I have stumble upon Zebralight H31...

They are totally different light meant for different applications, but as far as I am aware, they are both excellent value and have a lot of good reviews.

I have the H501 (AA) version of that headlight and it's excellent. The low is low enough to be unobtrusive and it's small and light to wear. I also have another one on the way - the SC30 for pocketable flashlight purposes and wouldn't hesitate to buy any other Zebralight products.

4Sevens has a lot of fans and happy customers so I doubt you would be disappointed with that choice either

Yep, I agree, I have a few Zebralights and a few quarks.  Both are great.   Just depends on what you want, smallest size, the interface you like, lego options (the quark can be configured to work with AA, 2AA, 18650 etc). 

I have a couple standard UI quarks, I like quick access to many modes and tailstanding.  The tactical UI is quite good too, easy to program.  The Zebralight has an intersting UI.  I intend to get some more once they come out with neutral XP-Gs on their latest offerings.

ANyway, you can't go wrong with either, just depends on what you are looking for.

I've got both a 4Sevens Mini AA and a Zebralight H50 but on balance I prefer the Zebralight, in fact it's probably my favorite torch

You'll not go wrong with either though

Tnx guys.

After some research I have made, I think I'll go with Quark 123x2 R5 but plane, not tactical (they can not stand on tail as I have heard)...

With the regular version you will always start on the 0.2 lumen and need to cycle through all the modes to get to the one you want every time, unless you want to use 0.2 lumen it gets annoying pretty fast. Tail stand is overrated IMO, you need just the right condition to make it work, i.e. low light colored ceiling. I can count with one hand how often I've used my lights that way, and if it can't stand on its own just drop it in a cup. Besides you can always get an additional tail cap that will allow it to stand.
