'''Preon 2''' - 2xAAA 7-mode clicky with XP-G S2 LED introduced in November 2010. Has a pocket clip and matte finish (no knurling) and is available in black, blue, red, yellow, titanium and titanium black (with titanium head and tail but black body). Regular operation cycles through 3, 26, and 120 ANSI lumens (59m throw), but if you cycle quickly through all the modes twice, you also get strobe, SOS, and high and low beacon modes. Parts are interchangeable with Preon 1, which allows use of a flat tail and using the light as a twisty. Original version, introduced in November 2009, used a XP-G R5 and had modes of 2.2, 22, and 160 OTF lumens. In May 2010, a limited edition with warm white XP-G Q5 LED was introduced. In June 2010, a limited edition with neutral white XP-G R4 was introduced. | '''Preon 2''' - 2xAAA 7-mode clicky with XP-G S2 LED introduced in November 2010.

'''Preon ReVO''' - 1xAAA 7-mode twisty with XP-E R2 LED. Regular operation cycles through 1.8, 20, and 82 OTF lumens, but if you cycle quickly through all the modes twice, you also get strobe, SOS, and high and low beacon modes. Power is current regulated instead of PWM of the other Preons which should be more efficient. Available in black or stainless steel and has more traditional knurling instead of a smooth finish. Not to be used with a lithium-ion battery whereas the Preon 1 can be, but is not recommended. Introduced in August 2010. In December 2010, a stainless steel version with a Cree XP-G S2 LED was introduced. Discontinued (officially) in September 2011.

'''Quark RGB''' - 2xCR123A [[Cree#MC-E|MC-E Color]] head with 4 different color LED dies built in to give white, red, green, or blue output (emits from only one die at a time). Uses the regular Quark 123² body with modes controlled by twisting head loose and tight. Available in versions with regular or neutral white light in one of the dies. More of a novelty than anything, the light suffers from a very ugly beam due to the off-center LED dice. Announced in November 2009.
