Preon 2, Satin Titanium

Burntrice · Apr 4, 2012

I'm just wondering if many people have one of these and if so what it says on the back of the box?
The website clearly states "Material: Titanium",
The box says "Construction: Hard anodized aluminium"

Have I been sent the wrong one?

the Preon satin titanium has a silver-grey color, better said it has the typical titanium color. I dont know a preon in that color made of aluminium! There is a version in black that combines titan and aluminium (limited), it has ti in the front and tailcap and an aluminium body and there is a full black version made without ti at all. So if yours has the silver-grey color it is Titanium

Mine didn't come in a box. I got the Hi CRI "Black Edition", in a ziploc bag.
The head and tail are clearly Titanium. (Body on both my black and blue are anodized Al, though it's Type II so "Hard Anodized" is a bit misleading to begin with.)
I don't believe they ever did a satin aluminum version.

I have a numbered, limited edition Preon 2 titanium satin finish and as far as I know, none of these came in a special box - they came in the normal box marked as aluminum. I think the reason is simple - it's too slow and expensive to have short runs of special boxes made.

You can get Satin Ti Preon 1 and 2 bodies at the 4Sevens website in the Preon accessories and make your own Satin Ti light!

That's exactly what I did with my Preon 2 Ti Black Edition. Although it was classy enough for pen pocket wear, I wanted the full titanium treatment. I got exactly what I imagined although there is a slight mismatch in hue between the tube and the head/tail assemblies...but that does not diminish its beauty.

Also, the titanium tube will make the light a little heavier as opposed to the aluminum tube.

Thanks guys, guess I have got the right one. Going to have to buy a flat tail though I think, I'm not keen on the rattle from the clicky.

I have previously got a satin Ti flat tail. I'm not sure if they are still available. Checked - yes they have for $9. Go get it now and make your desired Ti light - are you a flashaholic or not!
