Preon P0 Woes
on: February 01, 2012, 05:07:30 PM
Just read on CPF that there are unhappy campers with this light including shipped with broken O rings & no spare included! Also 4Sevens has no replacement O rings yet. Bad beam tints & magnet failing out! I was going to possibly get one but, not now.

Always wait and let the early adopters discover any problems.
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

+1!  That's my philosophy exactly.

My experience with 4Sevens products has been poor overall, particularly with tint issues.  I bought three of their HCRI lights late last Fall and they have a great tint, but I have to say that's the exception and not the rule from what I've experienced with them.

I don't find anything about the P0 to be compelling either, so have no intention of buying one.  I've been mulling another HCRI Preon model, but that would be absolutely my last 4Sevens light.
The first Noble Truth: life is suffering.  Only by accepting that fact can we transcend it.

These small companies have no beta test, you are it, learned that the hard way.

Yep..It pays to wait until the verdict is in. Some people are getting them without any problems. I just can't believe 4Sevens didn't think of spare O rings for this one. I never had an O ring bust on my twistys. All are on the original O rings.
