I suggest putting a bit of blue painter's tape on the battery. This cured the battery rattle on my Preon2. I can often just move the tape over from the old cells to the replacements as needed.
Thank you for your great suggestions. I will give it a go. Maybe something with paracord or perhaps the screw idea. I can probably find a tiny screw & nut to add in there. Zip tie would also work. I'll probably look into a diffuser down the road sometime. That would be handy. I appreciate your help!
Hi all,
I just received my new Quark 123^2 and have been wandering around the forums trying to learn as much as possible. Thank you all for the crazy education that I've been receiving.
I've got an AW set of RCR123's on the way with the Nano charger. From what I've read, looks like I'd better...
Hi all,
I am the proud new owner of a new R5 Quark 123^2. I love this little light and it suits me perfectly. It is amazing the amount of light this thing puts out. Also impressive is the moonlight mode. This will complement my Preon2 nicely. Alas, you all know about this light so I won't beat...
Thank you both for your replies. Hmmm you have me thinking about the Quark 123-2 again. It seems perfect for me and the rechargables seem to be the best bet. The maelstrom might be a little overboard for me but I will check them out.
If you wouldn't mind, a PM with your recharging set up on...
Hi all,
I purchased a Preon2 a year ago and I love it. I've been thinking about upgrading to something with a little more kick. I've been eyeing the Quark series. I initially thought about a Quark X 123^2, but the prices of the CR123 batteries scared me away. They are $6 each at Target. I know...
Hi all,
I talked with 4Sevens customer service today and got the issue resolved. Hats off to the CS rep that helped me (I can't remember his name). They went above and beyond to help me out. Great service. The clicky is defective and is being replaced.
Thanks all for your comments and...
Hi guys,
It seems that the clicky switch is the problem. It works perfectly when I have it attached to the longer 2xAAA body. It just seems like when it is tightened up on the smaller 1xAAA body it doesn't work properly.
I am using the keyring as a spacer on the 1xAAA body but it didn't make...
Hi everyone,
I just received my new 4sevens Preon 2 this afternoon. I also purchased the smaller body (1aaa) and a flat cap in order to convert it to a Preon 1.
Here's the issue. When I convert it to the single aaa (Preon 1 style) version with the clicky, the button's operation is...
