So if I decide to order a Preon P0 now, I can be pretty sure I'll get the "new & improved" version 2, right?

Looks like Going Gear has the P0 for a pretty good price and reasonable shipping. If I ask them about the version they are currently shipping, they should know whether it's the newest. Anyone here ordered this light from Going Gear?I you order it directly from 4Sevens the answer is yes. In case of a dealer you can not be 100% sure, they might have some old ones laying around.
Another easier way rather than having the dealer open the product, is to ask when the stock was ordered. All the first run stock was sold prior to ~April 2012. So if they recieved the lights from Four Sevens after ~March 2012, chances are they are the new version 2.Looks like Going Gear has the P0 for a pretty good price and reasonable shipping.

Hurray for MEC!
Once they bring them in, my plans are to:
a) open one up and see if it has the raised positive contact (signifying the new version)
b) rip it apart and put a Nichia 219 in it :devil:
I dont see how to do that. To shave off every mm, the led is mounted directly on the driver. If you try to reflow the led directly on to the driver, the ic's will fall off.
Yes. You also need to bear in mind that it is a double sided circut board. The wave soldering on the LED side of the board would be no problem, but then you also have the second side to reflow as well. With the proper tools, and a ton(I mean TON) of patience, it would be doable. I only have a regular weller soldering iron station, and you would need an adjustable one with a small enough tip to remount all the other components after changing the LED out.
NOT an easy project, but not impossible either.

Nice 219 job. hard thing to do?:devil::devil:
Ooh. Where are you, and how much would it cost to get a modded P0?
Please explain how you did the mod!
I am in Alberta, though I don't know how comfortable I'd be working on someone else's
