I was sent my first quality flashlight

Hello everyone.

I was blessed with my first ever quality flashlight. It was sent from a member from another forum, www.candlepowerforums.com I do not know what to say. I was sent a light with a note in it saying they bought it and never used it and thought with my eyesight that I could use it more then they could. I was sent a 47's Preon 2 in titanium. It to me is an amazing light, I certainly have never seen anything like it.

Nice!

The Preon 2 is an amazing piece of technology.

I am curious and I did not see this info in the paperwork or on 4sevens. Is the light made of titanium or is it aluminum with a color coating? It is not like it matters, just curious. Also is the light water resistant from a splash of rain, or can it be submerged in a sink of water?

There's a fair few guy's on here lusting after the Preon, so I'm sure they'd appreciate your thought's once you've had it a while

I can do that, it is only fair. I will use it and get a feel for it and I will do that.

My aunt wants to have a flashlight contest tonight. This should be funny. She has a $5 autoparts store light on her key ring thinking it is bright. This is going to be good. I can't wait. LOL

Nothing like annihilating the ignorant is there

My aunt is a truck driver by trade, so she thinks that big D-cell Maglite is bright. I am trying to help her as I learn myself because space is a premium on a big rig so in her case a small yet powerful light would be perfect, but you know the deal...Maglites are the best thing out there. LOL

I think we were all pretty impressed with our Maglites till someone stuck a modern LED light in our hands

Life was a lot less expensive back then

Hey nothing wrong with the big mag lites. They make excellent clubs.

lovenhim · **Reply #14 on:** June 05, 2010, 03:03:06 AM

Well just like I figured <grin> my aunt wanted to see what the lights did when it got dark. That Preon 2 distroyed a 2AA Minimag LED, Inova X5, $5 autoparts store LED light, and a 6 D-cell Maglite on medium power. My aunt was shocked but did say that she still would not pay $65 for the light but would pay $20 for it.

It was given to me which is the best price of all.

My aunt who is a truck driver was showing me her new flashlight. She thinks it is bright and she uses it to help back up the big rig and for other things. She bought it at an autoparts store. It is an LED keychain light two of them for $5. She saw my little tiny 4Sevens Preon 2 in my pocket and was joking me about my little, tiny, cute flashlight. She challenged me to a flashlight duel. Well, what was I to do? After all I could not miss this chance to have some fun. We go outside in the darkness and she says well lets see what your little pen light can do, so I turn it on LOW. By this time she is picking on me in a fun way and turns on her light and starts to gloat, she is having fun. So now I turn the Preon up a notch, which of course puts her light to shame, so that shut her up. Well just like Mythbusters I could not stop there, so I go for HI, and that un-shut her up. What she said I am not going to type here. Needless to say I had fun with that little, tiny, wimpy Preon two.

TO answer the question you posted, yes the Ti is made from Ti, it should be very light but strong too. What a great gift, they really set the mark for small lights.

Maglites are great too, once they have been moddified

Enjoy your new toy

Update on the Preon 2. I love this light and it has become my EDC light. I like it better than the Rominsen RCN3 2 that I have. I am very happy with the Preon 2.
