Foursevens Preon P0

[kaichu dento]

Eric, I laughed when I saw these pics, but with these pics and Beacon's take on the levels definitely has me in for one!

Hey Pete, I tried to do something a little different glad you enjoyed it. I'm really liking this light. I just need neutral now and maybe a lower low. LOL.

I have to ask anyone try a 10440? Just kidding!

 

[Got Lumens?]

I second Kaichu dento,I really like your shot of the P0 inside the MiniAA.
Thanks again Viper

Anyone dare to try 10440 in the Preon 0 yet??!!

I would suspect that will happen Vinny with the cost of it much less than the 123s.
But I dunno. 3V-4.2V vs. 1.5V-4.2V in this... It might not work for long, or at all.
I won't be trying it on the only one I have coming. Are you planning on trying it?
I too would like to know the results also.

Edit: I am trying HCRI MiniAA with a AA-2 body when this one comes in with it.

DO NOT RUN YOUR PREON 0 ON 10440!!! Here is why:

The XPE is mounted directed onto the Driver and then the driver is pressed into the aluminum pill with no heat transfer to the body at all! So if we assume that the driver can handle the 4.2V Li-ion like the ITP A3 then LED will still burn in matters of seconds due to no heat relieve! :-)

 

[hazna]

how easy is it to operate the light one-handed? Does the lack of knurling and smooth surfaces make it difficult to use?

 

[coolperl]

Looks like it uses even the same circuit as DQG.

 

[ergotelis]

Looks like the same driver, but hope that they didn't do the same mistake like in DQG, and protect the driver. This was the weak point of DQG. Using eneloops, i had 2 fails from DQG and one of a friend of mine! :(
If they did not protect the driver, they will have dozens of rma with all the classic consequences...

 

[Zendude]

Wow! Thanks for the disassembly vinhnguyen54. Is the glow powder glued to the same board as the LED? I hope not. I assume the LED is surface mounted which might make it tricky to swap out without desoldering the components on the other side of the board. :shrug:

 

[Kilovolt]

Wow, this should send those potential buyers that were sitting on the fence scurrying to 4 Sevens website to order. LOL

It did, it did ... :devil:

Is there any rear spring in the back/bottom of the body? And can you fully tighten the head as in the iTP A3 where its PCB is fully pressed against the body tube and because of that you cannot tighten the head further?

so then basically this is a battery crusher like the DQG II.

If you try to fully tighten it, you will both crush the battery and the PCB.

The DQG III has support for 10440's, has a higher Hi, has the NeutralWhite LED option (+1.00$ extra), and is made out of Titanium. It lacks the 10yrs performance guarantee and the perfect finish though. Let's see if Ric can offer a group buy again..

Yes i think so too. The difference seems to be the DQG uses a brass pill insted of alu.

If someone has time, I'd love to see a pic of the P0 standing next to an AAA on one side and an AA on the other, for size comparison.

Ty for the awesome comparison pic. Now I really want to get one.

 

[jsmitty1967]

Another comparison phot against the DQG tiny light. I was shocked to see the P0 is 1/4" shorter and the head is the same diameter as the DQGs body. I am loving it so far. The tint is a little funky but that is my only gripe.

Looks like it uses even the same circuit as DQG.

Yea, I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed at how similar this flashlight is to the DQG tiny rev. 2.

Is the battery loose (like the DQG) when the P0 is turned off?

I don't own a DQG myself but there is no battery rattle when the P0 is off.
