Hi all quick question. I ordered a 4sevens preon p2 gen2 penlight and am curious is there anyway to tell if you have the led with 192 lumens vs the 160 lumen led?
Thanks, searched and couldn't find any info on this. Maybe there's a reason for that, lol.

The newer Preons are installed with CREE XP-G2 emitter where the older Preons were installed with XP-G emitters.

Look at the square board where LED is mounted - if it's silver it's the XP-G2. If it's green, it's the older XP-G.

On the box of the P2 I got it said XP-G 160 lumens, but my LED is definitely the white XP-G2. I guess I got jipped, but in a good way.
