Prometheus Lights

Inconsistent

After missing out on last year's Massdrop opportunity to purchase the Copper pen I spent a year looking on the secondary markets. No luck. It was a shame, as I heard so many great things about Jason and his work. I had to have one. I took a chance and emailed an inquiry through Prometheuswrites.com and I received a response that a new batch (and website) were in. Now, yes, I was aware that J was using an outside machine shop for "some work." So I ordered the Copper pen. Aesthetically it is everything I thought and hoped it would be: a nice heft to it, nice details in the machining, and how the patina has taken effect (though not a Prometheus exclusive). But there is something that detracts from the pen that I haven't been able to get over. I've used it everyday since it's purchase and it's replaced my CountyComm Embassy pens. The machining on the body of the main barrel upon which the cap attaches to at both ends is sparse to say the least; the inside of the cap has almost a half-inch of threading so there could have been more threads on the main body. I really take my time attaching the cap. My fear is over the pen dropping; because of how the cap is attachedit may not take much for the threads may strip.

Hello, I bought the new version of your aluminum Beta light to replace my EDC light. I loved my current light, but maybe one time out of ten, it would fail to click "on", generally when I was stuffed in a crawlspace with only one finger free to operate a light. It was time for a new one. Prometheus lights aren't cheap. AAA lights are an item I use every single day, ten, twenty, or thirty times a day, though, so I thought I might as well get the best. Someone has clearly put a lot of thought into the Beta design, but it has a flaw which renders it unusable for me: it's so slick that, if I have any grease or oil or dirt on my hands at all, I can't turn the head to ignite the light. So I have to admit I just paid a hundred bucks for a light and clip I can't use during the day, and now the Beta lives in my truck box. If you're a potential buyer, make darn sure you aren't going to end up in my situation, and that a super-slick housing like the Beta has is compatible with your work or lifestyle.

Had a smooth and easy order from Prometheus, and picked out a great light that I thought would replace my current EDC light. (I got the newest generation of single-aaa in aluminum, with a separate clip.) Im in attics and crawlspaces all the time fo work and a good light is a must-have. It seems to be a solid light, but if my hands are the least bit wet, greasy or slippery, I cant get the damn thing to twist on. Maybe i just bought a light that doesnt suit my needs, but this one is really justgoing to end up in my truck for a backup. Can honestly say the ordering and shipping went as smoothly as possible, though.

Too late, not durable enough not strong enough made very poorly, poor quality, workmanship, and poor quality material
