Dead Preon - warranty replacement or alternative?

When I first met the current Mrs Dangerboy she knew that I had a bit of a thing about torches; it probably won’t sound weird to BLF users that the first ‘proper’ present I bought her was a Preon.

That was a few years ago, and sadly the Preon that she has being EDCing ever since has died.
I’m fairly rubbish at electronics, so short of cleaning the contacts there’s not a lot I can do to diagnose the problem.
No visible damage that I can see other than scratches from keys.

What’s the warranty on 4sevens torches?
I had it from GoingGear in 2010, but I’m based in the UK, if that makes any difference.

If I’m looking at aa or aaa alternatives, what would BLF recommend?
I’m using a nichia 219 aa from L3 which has been great, but solarforce X2/x3 seem more ‘gifty’.

Thanks!

Welcome to BLF, Dangerboy! :party:

Which Preon is it? They do have a 120 month warranty for normal use, so it might be worth contacting them.

I read this a Dead Person!

Thanks Chloe - I’ll drop them a line.
According to the sales invoice it was a Preon 1 AAA XP-G Flashlight - Stealth Black.
Can’t remember when exactly the Preon was released but it can’t have been far from the first batch.
