Nice little tuxedo look to it. Glad I could help you out. That would definitely be quite a unique little setup. Nice little tuxedo look to it. Glad I could help you out.

My favorite carry is the titainium head and clicky tail with a black Preon I body and a 3.7v lithium rechargeable battery. The 3.7v battery boosts the brightness beyond the Preon II of 160, to almost 200 lumens! OTF! This off of single aaa battery! The only precaution is to not run it on high for very long or it gets too hot. I've carried mine everyday for over six months and it has only come on in my pocket once. Were that to become a problem I would loosen the head, like a twisty, to lock it out. I love them! Thanks 4Sevens. And thank you, Dave, for a very nice review. I love them!

I definitely like this light better in 1xAAA twisty format than 2xAAA clicky. Yes, I have to agree with most of those comments, though I have never tried the Maratac.

Was very disappointed to find that the clickie on the 2AAA body was not only too sensative, but the button rotated around the housing. Just gave the light a feeling of cheap construction. When I do carry this light, it's only going to be with the 1AAA body installed. If I had to do it over again, I'd pass on this one. Originally picked it up for redundant capability with my 2AAA Peak Eiger penlight. Quality on that light is far better. As far as the 1AAA format goes, the clip is better than the one on my AAA Maratac. But the Maratac is smaller, and can easily be worked one-handed. I recently picked up the HA Black Preon kit.
