    EDIT:

    THE PROJECT IS ON!
    The Preon clip is being crowd funded via crowdtilt
    LINK: https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/6al4v-titanium-pocket-clip-for-the-preon-flashlight-927add0f

    The community effort has been successful and darksucks has responded, it's time to put your money where your mouth is!
    Please head to the crowdtilt link above and pledge for an appropriate number of clips so we can see these soon!

    Thanks to everyone who spread the word on this, keep at it and reward a great maker with lots of business.


    Original Post:
    So, after an anticlimactic thread about the compatibility of Darksucks's fantastic eiger clip with the Preon/Preon 2, Jason has smiled upon us and said, if there is interest, he'd be willing to do a run of Ti clips for the Preon.

    The Preon is an excellent light. Slim and powerful with a great UI, I know MANY of the members of this community, as well as those at EDCforums, own and enjoy these lights. I feel the only negative thing that can be said about the preon lights is that their clips leave a lot to be desired, especially on their titanium model. The clip is a weak stainless steel, and mine routinely gets caught on things and bent out of proportion, and can barely keep its shape simply clipped in my pocket. I'd like a solution, and Jason is willing to provide one.

    Please make yourself heard in this thread at CandlePowerForums if you are interested in a Ti clip similar to this one for your preon or preon 2.

    If you know anyone who has one of these lights, please let them know about this thread so we can make this happen.


    Thank you.

    This is getting views, and the other thread is getting posts from it, so I'm going to bump it to keep it alive.

    I'm not on CPF, but I'm definitely interested in a few of those clips! :D

    I know it's a little inconvenient, but if you don't post over there, there may not be a clip to buy! Please consider making an account and posting your interest, we only have 9 so far and need more than fifty!

    I did make an account once, and that spam-bot filter/thing wouldn't let me post anywhere or send a PM to anyone that I recall. :/

    TheTomas Loaded Pockets

    Well I hope you can get it sorted out, we need all the support we can get. I guess if you really can't weigh in on that forum, you could send a polite email directly to Jason (jason@darksucks.com) telling him you're interested.

    Thanks

    Bump! we need a lot more interest in the thread over at CPF if we're going to make this happen. I know you guys could use better clips for your preons!

    TheTomas Loaded Pockets

    Another bump! We're making slow but steady progress over at CPF. If you know anyone that owns a preon with the original crappy clip, please let them know so they can post.

    CPF makes it a pain in the but for new users to start a account. A mod must approve your first 3 post & I personally have never gotten a reply anytime I've asked a question.

    I don't remember having to wait for mods to approve my first three posts, but I agree CPF isn't the easiest forum to join. It seemed like the place to get the most visibility for the topic. I'll mention this thread over there, but I can't be sure Jason will count people from both threads. I can only ask that you make your best effort, or email jason@darksucks.com directly with a polite statement of your interest in the project.

    I just put my interest in for 2 of them over at cpf, different user name. I'm surprised there isn't more people interested in it as the Preon II is a popular light. I use my High CRI Preon all the time at work and I'm terrified I'll lose it one day due to the flimsy clip.

    I have an Alpha blue label and its awesome.

    I'm sure anything else he makes will be equally awesome.

    TheTomas Loaded Pockets

    BUMP! We're still making progress over at CPF. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in this project, please comment on the thread at candlepowerforum linked in the OP, or send Jason@darksucks.com a polite email.

    Another bump! I hope everyone had a great holiday season! If you wanna spend any money you might have gotten as a gift on a fine clip for the Preon, please show your interest!

    Thanks

    Looks like there's roughly 37 clips of interest by people so far. Not many more needed before it's a reality.

    TheTomas Loaded Pockets

    Nope, we're getting close! Tell your friends, post on other forums, shout it from the rooftops, lets make it happen!

    TheTomas Loaded Pockets

    Gotta bump this, It's been about a week and we still need a little more interest, although Jason has been participating in the thread over at CPF so we're on track.

    Please let any preon owners know about this project. The stock clip is truly crappy and I think anyone who wants to carry a preon would be interested.

    Thanks

    I put in my interest on the thread. Do you have an idea of approximate cost?

    The clip for the Peak Eiger from DS costs $20 so I would assume a similar price.
