    Preon P1 MKIII

    I must admit, I missed any reference to the 'on time' required to save the modes in Jason's previous posts. I really have only been following the Preon progress on CPF, USN, and FB. Could you point me in the direction of the discussion you mentioned? The bit in the product info still only...

    Preon P1 MKIII

    I think the issue of 'returning to Medium' from Burst mode are due to the light interpreting the second press(to enter Burst Mode) both as 'Burst Mode On' as well as 'Activate Next Mode in the Config. Leaving the light on in Burst for more than the required time then saves the 'next' mode to...

    Preon P1 MKIII

    It's a gone a bit quiet, but has anyone heard any firsthand info about a resolution for all this?

    Preon P1 MKIII

    I must admit, I think I've learned to be a bit more 'chill' about these things after having to deal with the original Foursevens Customer service about my Bolt Mini light. It took a number of weeks, and a lot of frustration to get any kind of answer (accurate or not) from them towards the end...

    Preon P1 MKIII

    Do you think there might be possibility of having a replacement driver/led/head internals shipped out once the production run has been finalised? I do indeed enjoy the finish on these. The added complication is that overseas returns for items at this price point tend to be a bit of a zero sum...

    Preon P1 MKIII

    Great idea! Especially since I've got a tonne of paracord sitting around from a few years ago. Might even try some glow stuff...

    Preon P1 MKIII

    Hokey dokey, so thanks to the previous feedback in this thread, I've managed to sort out the threadlocker on the tailcap and switch assembly, and fully disassembled the light. It was mainly an exercise in curiousity, but did allow me to see how well the parts were machined from a tolerance...

    Preon P1 MKIII

    I did manage to get the tailcap off without head, but as you say, it did require some specialized grip tools, and a lot of rubber padding to avoid marring the finish too much. Even then, the outside of the tailcap now has 'character' :P Out of curiousity, what did you use to heat the light to...

    Preon P1 MKIII

    Thanks for the indepth reply - it's much appreciated. I did manage to get the tailcap off (the bit that retains the rubber boot), but not the switch assembly and clip. Can I confirm when you say that the clip is held in the 'usual way', that you mean the switch asaembly is threaded in to the...

    Preon P1 MKIII

    After a bit of tinkering today, I can confirm that it is indeed red loctite that secures the threads of the end-cap that houses the rubber boot/button. Still have no idea what's being used to retain the clip. It actually looks like the end-piece that's housing the switch was pressure fit, and...

    Preon P1 MKIII

    Unfortunately my satin one doesn't even get that far. Picked them up on the way to work, so might try and crack out the strap wrenches when I get home and see what happens! Edit: Looking at the threads, and the posted photos more closely, it looks like they may have used a red-strength...

    The back end of my Satin Black unscrews, but the underlying retaining ring for the clip must be glued. Do you all have any idea what adhesive they used?

    Four Sevens Customer Service

    I've sent a couple more emails in the last week, and still no hint of a reply. Has anyone had any luck, or got any tips about how to get a response from them? The last company I dealt with that had this kind of change in customer service ended up shutting down suddenly a short while later....

    Four Sevens Customer Service

    It's been about 19 days since I had *any* reply from them. Even then, that last email was a 'sorry, we're busy' response to a reminder email from me. Prior to that, it was *another* 2 weeks since their last contact. I did leave a facebook comment on one of their 'lucky draw' posts, and it...

    Four Sevens Customer Service

    I must admit, I felt a bit better reading the previous two posts. At first I thought it was just me having issues, and that I maybe should have tried a bit harder. I posted a recent thread about issues I've had with a Bolt Mini, and how Foursevens CS has basically 'gone dark' the last few...
