Preon P1 MKIII

[Newguy2012]

The new Preon P1 Pre-poduction is on sale. https://darksucks.com/products/preon-p1
Anyone here getting it? The efficiency of the light looks to good to be true. I'm bit impressed how much stuff is packed in the light for the price.

Just picked one up in satin nickel!

Looks interesting. Great choice of emitter. Does this have mode memory?

 

[Newguy2012]

There's no memory. You can configure what mode the light starts first.

Grabbed one! They look great and come with a proper LED and clip!

Actually there is memory

 

[Newguy2012]

Actually there is memory

"Memory Function = revert to mode 1"
Indeed it does. Does that mean the light will start from the first cycle in the config? He was asking about mode memory. I thought he meant remembering the last output you used.

Are the runtime tested using the Recyko battery? The runtime is really long compared to your beta lights.

Any ideas if the prototypes were manufactured in California?

wow, satin nickel sold out already.

Ordered one in Polished Nickel just after the sale went live.

Satin Nickel option is still available for me.

I was just going to ask which finish people think will be the most popular. Guess that answers that.

 

[Cerealand]

Good think you ordered that already.

I know, right. I figured they would be around for days.

Dang, I can't stand mode memory. Really great update to the Preon though, I may get one anyway since it can run single mode.

 

[Strintguy]

I tried so hard to convince myself to buy one, but I have 5 P1 originals that don't get enough use already...

Tuxedo black & polished nickel.

I really hope the improved switch is as advertised. I have several previous generation p1 that turn on accidently while clip to my pocket.

I couldn't decide which one to purchase....... Sometimes getting older (61) and not being able to make up one's mind has its advantages.

Jason stated on his FB page that he'd been carrying one for a few weeks and hadn't had one APA. Accidental Pocket Activation.
