    Bought SMD 2835 x 144 E12 candelabra bulbs...

    Well, just an update. Ultimately, I did not like the original color and light output (not as intense as promised) of these bulbs. So I wound up replacing them with these instead: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321864753031 And thus far have been incredibly happy. Longevity obviously is yet to be...

    Bought SMD 2835 x 144 E12 candelabra bulbs...

    Gotcha... so basically it's precisely as I expected: the technology simply isn't there yet. I don't suppose there is much of a safety concern regardless in trying one out, right? So now that I've already got some on order there's no sense in chucking them out of presumptions of them running...

    Bought SMD 2835 x 144 E12 candelabra bulbs...

    Hey all, Just wanted to get some very quick expert input on my breakfast nook situation. We have an up-facing small chandelier with five bulbs (with shades around them) and I have struggled to find an LED bulb with sufficient brightness and color. The last batch I purchased after trying a...

    Recommend a bulb for recessed cans in a 2-story great room (please!)

    I really, really appreciate everything guys -- seriously. But after kicking this around, I am still thinking that if such a thing exists, I would prefer a standard form factor bulb that I could change with a simple extension tool. Having said that, do such bulbs exist (from CREE for instance...

    Recommend a bulb for recessed cans in a 2-story great room (please!)

    Wow, thanks a lot for the extremely detailed feedback guys. Just a couple of things (and questions) to note in reply: 1) @ Geo: Actually it is a 4-pack that I linked to of the Feit Electric, so they are only ~$23/ea. 2) @ Both: Thanks so much for the detailed recommendations. My only real...

    Recommend a bulb for recessed cans in a 2-story great room (please!)

    Hey guys, Been around for quite some time here, but I have a totally different subject on my hands now. Thank you in advance for providing your expertise. We are building a home and will have a 2-story great room with probably six recessed lights. I plan to outfit them with LED bulbs so that...

    Arc AAA Premium CS vs. DS comparison shots?

    Hey guys, I know it's been asked before, but I thought this deserved its own thread as a lot of people would probably appreciate being able to find these. I'd do them myself, but I don't have a new Arc to do it with. :) I am trying to determine whether it's worth ordering another Arc for the...

    My AAA order # is 2083, anyone close to this got thiers yet?

    Actually got my order today... early, from FedEx. The lights are wonderful; the one I gave to my dad for a birthday gift he has already used a bunch! He's impressed to say the least, it's exactly what he needed for his job. Yes, they're blue, noticeably, but man, they're nice. Extremely bright...

    Now accepting more AAA back orders

    Order #1943: Shipped Oct 27, 2005 6:03PM. That would indicate that at least all orders up to this number have been shipped. Looks like Peter wasn't kidding when he said the new production yield was higher than before. I'm excited about my new lights! :) Steve

    Now accepting more AAA back orders

    Not a lot of activity in this topic; I presume that means that no shipments have gone out yet this week or at the end of last week. I hope Arc isn't backlogged too far beyond their estimates, or that could make things hairy for them considering the number of orders coming in! Steve

    my Arc AAA is unhappy

    I don't even have my Arc Flashlight yet and I already think I'm a customer for life. The stuff I see here from this company is of a level of quality that is almost extinct in today's business world. Steve

    Now accepting more AAA back orders

    Difficulty meeting demand... those are the kind of problems you want to have! ;) Patiently waiting. I think I have completely confused my dad (the person I bought one of the two lights in my order for -- a birthday gift); I told him that his gift is being hand-made and that it has been...

    Arc AAA still backordered?

    Is this not the ARC forum? The topic was moved here by the moderator. Yeah, I ordered on August 25, and my order still hasn't shipped, but I expect it to this week, so no big deal. :) Steve

    ya gotta see this...

    Maybe I'll be criticized for saying this, but considering the apparent demand for the product, I'd think about maybe even bumping the Arc prices 5 bucks a pop. Steve
