I have typically been a Surfire guy who runs primaries. Every time I have branched out I have been disappointed except for my Fenix E05 and the Streamlight stylus line. But after reading here and watching a lot of youtube I decided I would try a Preon 2. I was really excited, it seems like a neat light. Well the one that arrived in the mail was pretty much dead on arrival. I tried fresh AAA's and nothing. I actually got it to turn on if I loosened the head just right, but it would switch modes if shaken. I think I just got a bad light and this probably isn't a good indication of 4 sevens (I know stats, a sample size of 1 isn't relevant). The company I ordered the light from doesn't do exchanges, but instead is issuing a full refund including shipping costs and the cost to ship the defective light back. So that was really nice, I am just out some time.
When the light turned on it was pretty impressive. The fit and finish also looked pretty good. It had potential, but I am not sure if it would take the place of the Streamlight stylus in my pocket.
I am not sure if I am going to order another one. I think I am going to wait a while. Maybe something else that is really cool and I just "have" to have will come out.
