Re: Arc-AAA GS - still a classic? Worth buying or should I be happy my E01?
Woah... RADIUM??!?! Isn't that dangerous? Didn't people used to get cancer from the decay chain coming from Radium? Might be a good idea to ditch the Radium for Tritium vials. Same effect, but much safer.
A Tritium glass vial is a very nice addition to a useful light. RADIUM? like in the old days when it was painted on watch dials was a danger to the ladies who did this work at the factory, when they 'wet' the small paint brush with saliva.
Concerning the ARC AAA-P, I have a Fenix E05 and it is EXCELLENT! and less than half the $$$ of the Arc.
and
of course I have a few E01s. very useful for many reasons and great gifts!
yes the Arc is less powerful and more money, yet the answer as to WHY? spend the $$$ on it is found as soon as you hold it:thumbsup:
I would buy another ARC AAA-P ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS NEUTRAL, WARM OR HIGH CRI :naughty:
FWIW maybe about ten years ago I needed my ARC AAA-P light for a work related presentation ( it was one of my more useful tools, so when advising others it needed to be mentioned and shown). Remember, 10+ years ago to the "unenlightened" masses the LED light was unknown aside from power indicators on electronics. A few days before the event for some reason the Arc failed :thinking:. I was able to speak with the owner of Arc at the time a "Peter G" who cared about my concern and sent me a replacement. IIRC I mailed my old ARC back to him and he next day air sent the replacement. I really appreciated that and have always been a fan of the ARC AAA-P! (that light has functioned flawlessly since that day over 10 years ago.)
