How's this scenario?

How\'s this scenario?

Since I won't be able to afford an ARC LSH-P for a while, what are your opinions on this scenario? (I realize it's my money and my decision but I sincerely value the opinion of people on this forum) I would buy an ARC LSL Standard for 65$ and use it for a while. Later when I have the cash, depending on user feedback, I would go one better than the ARC LSH-P and get the LS4. I really want the ARC LSH-P, but can't afford it right now and I simply MUST have an ARC LS, and soon. Also, judging by user feedback, unless you are a true stickler for beam quality, the LSL should prove to be quite satisfactory for now. Any input on this? Thanks, and once again, this is by far the best forum I have ever been on and I have been on a lot.

Re: How\'s this scenario?

Sounds like a good plan to me you will enjoy the LSL is a great buy. The ls4 will be worth waiting for. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Re: How\'s this scenario?

I tried an LSH-S and liked it, but still wanted an LSH-P so I sold mine in BST tread. Yoou could do that with your LSL-S after awhile, then get an LSH-P, or an LS4. Your choice.

Re: How\'s this scenario?

it is a great way to get an arc and at a great price!

lots of people have more than one ls anyway /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: How\'s this scenario?

bigred,

Perfect plan, IMHO. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif It's what I'm doing. I actually do/did have
the cash for an Arc LSH-P, but my situation is sort of like
the military with its "need to know." i.e. I have to make my
purchases fly with my wife. She thought it was crazy to spend
$65 on a light as it was! Fortunately, at the moment I have
quite a bit of discretionary income, because I used to be a full
time piano tuner and still do some work on the side. That income
is extra and I can usually make the case that it should be
discretionary, . . .er . . . at least some of it, that is. Right
now I'm trying to decide whether or not I can get away with
buying a light now, and then the LS4 later, or whether I should
be conservative and guarantee being able to get the LS4. The
problem is that I don't have a really good incandescent light,
and there are times when I like the broader frequency spectrum
that a filament provides.

Anyway, I think your plan is good. You can never have too many
Arc LS's around. $65 is a great, great price. And you can always
sell your LSL-S on B/S/T later if you need the cash. Personally,
I can think of plenty of uses for my LSL once I get the LS4.
You WILL be happy with your LSL-S. Get it! Get it today before
they're gone. And get the 2AA TSP and extra batteries.

Good luck! Also, I completely agree that this forum is really
great.

Re: How\'s this scenario?

I reccomend that you grab the $65 LSL and run like a small boy in a field. Not that I don't WANT to sell another LSH-P... I have a SureFire L1 with Low Dome, and It's a nice light. The High dome IS NOT A BETTER LIGHT!!! It's just a tighter beam... and the little "P" makes it whiter, if that's what you want! If you don't take advantae of this, you will miss out on a great deal! Although in Arc's current fashion, there wil probably be a "Blow Out" on the LSHs when the LS4 in introduced /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Re: How\'s this scenario?

Bigred,

I bought a LSL-S because of the price. It is a very nice light. I'm thinking of buying a LS4 when it comes out. I will keep the LSL-S. You can always find a use for it. If you want a LSH-P just wait closer to the release of the LS4 when more people start to sell theirs. It has already started to happen.

The LS4 will be a different light from the LSL-S. Each will serve its purpose. My opinion is if you can save the money get the LS4, and buy and keep the LSL-S.

Re: How\'s this scenario?

If he wants an lsh-p but will settle for an lsl-s, why not go for a second for 50 bucks? Isn't it safe to assume he'll at least get an lsl-s?

Re: How\'s this scenario?

There's no predicting what you'll get if you buy a second. Most people have done pretty well with them, but at only 65 bucks I think I'd rather buy an LSL-S and know what I'm getting, as well as having a full warranty.

Re: How\'s this scenario?

Thanks guys! You've convinced me to get the LSL. Now, does anyone know for sure if this sale only applies to orders directly from the ARC website? I assume one has to order directly from ARC to get the deal, but does anyone know if the sale price applies to any ARC dealer? Thanks again.

Re: How\'s this scenario?

This is only from Arc direct as far as I know. You might be able to find a dealer selling them for close to that, but I kinda doubt it.

True.....but if your looking to get a LSH-P for a good price, 6 to 12 days is cool with me.

I wonder if Peter does price matching? hmmmmmmmmmm /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: How\'s this scenario?

Buy from Peter and you'll get it before you expect it.

Re: How\'s this scenario?

$65 sale price is, as far as I have seen, ONLY direct from Arc.

Re: How\'s this scenario?

If you buy the LSL and don't want it later than PM me and I will buy it from you at the same price you payed as long as it is still in good shape. I am alwayse looking for another LS.
