Hi guys,
I am under the impression that Peter has fine tuned the Arc AAA flashlight. This light is based on the Arc AAA but it has differences which are of basically unknown significance at this point in time. Theory and guess work are the starting point, some empirical study then to test the idea and then ultimately the real world; you guys!
We will all know a lot more about these lights once they get into the hands of users and get used! These lights will need to get broken in as is typical of titanium lights and then they need to get some duty time in. Peter and I are using the same titanium hosts here and our methods of assembly may differ. I prefer the open access that Peter is using but since my lights are built with one LE and the intent that the LE serve as designed, I hedged my bet by press fitting the converter and adding a forced silver solder contact in the ground path.
In Peter's offering as well as mine, the host remains the same and unaltered. In my case, the host would be more difficult to "gut" but that is only an issue if one intends to gut the light; which I consider unnecessary but I don't discount the fact that some of you will modify your lights. Why, because you can.
I would anticipate that some of these will be used as is and provide the utility expected. I expect that some of these will be stripped down completely and given a new surface; be it texture, color or film. Peter's offering is much more receptive to cosmetic alteration than mine.
