Hi guys, I recently purchased a Preon II neutral and it arrived today, so far I've been quite impressed with the build quality and threads, however I was just inspecting the centering of the LED and noticed that there seems to be something on the plastic dome on top of the die - it seems to be cloudy white in colour and only around the base (doesn't go so far up as to dramatically effect the beam) of the dome in two spots.
Could this be simply the bonding agent used, has anyone else seen this before?
I know there is definitely something there as I can run my other torch around the edge of the Preon's head and it casts shadows onto the centre when it passes the two spots I'm talking about.
I'm not really keen on sending it back to 4sevens as I'm from Australia and the cost and wait will be an annoyance. I understand this could be Cree's QC messup but it still doesn't gel with the fact that the other item I got from 4sevens is also somewhat defective (WW AA2 Turbo's threads don't work with single AA body - they're different yet nothing was made clear about this on either the WW Quark or accessory pages - only that ALL Quark products are modular and interchangeable).
I'm just wondering if anyone knows if I choose not to send it back, what effects running the light on high could have and if that could actually be the cause of this? (perhaps the dome material had a dodgy batch??)
EDIT: forgot to mention, I don't have access to a camera that would be able to get clear images of the details I'm talking about, I'm hoping someone else has experienced this and knows what I'm talking about.
