AAA flashlight deal - davemchine - 04-29-2016
I saw this on slick deals and it seems like a good deal.

"Foursevens Preon P1 AAA Flashlight $20 & More
Foursevens [foursevens.com wrote: is selling the Preon P1 for $20 with free shipping. This is $12.50 less than one of the reputable sellers I usually buy them from Survival-Pax [survival-pax.com] for $32.50.
There are other flashlights on the clearance section of the same page. I just feel the Preon P1 is the deal that's a good steal. Last black friday / holiday I got Preon P1s for $26 ish... $20 is the lowest I've seen for this light and it packs the Gen2 XP-G emitter.
These are one of the best single AAA flashlights you can own. Check out selfbuilt's reviews on candlepowerforums or his website.
They'd make excellent gifts and have 10 year warranties.
If you buy a Preon P2 body you can attach this Preon P1 head and tail to make it a Preon P2 (2xAAA) without the clicky switch (which is terrible). Double the brightness!"]

Dave,
For $10 more you can get the P2 which is more than twice as bright. 'course, it uses 2 AAA batteries and is longer. Funny, though, it has the same emitter.

Just got a couple in the mail. AA. Not suuuuper bright, but dang they're cheap!

Maybe that light's a great light and a good deal.
But if I'm going for a single cell light, I'd go AA, typically more light and/or longer run time.
I normally keep an 1xAA Fenix on me, but lately I've kept a 2xAAA and 2xAA in a jacket pocket, and they've been very handy and much, much brighter.
I've no experience with AAAx1 lights, but going by my Fenix, I'd probably want a better deal.

47s and the preons have long been on my want list, but I don't need any more flashlights, particularly not any more AAAs, which I seem to covet and collect. If that had a tail clicky, or if the 2 AAA option was on sale (but don't link to it if it is), I would be in for one.
RAM, Foursevens and the preon lights were state of the art and original designs, and were then ripped off and copied by other Chinese knockoff brands, including their own OEM suppliers. So a very good classic brand for a light and well worth owning for $20.
