First off i sure am sorry for even starting this uproar in the "other" thread.
I am a major devotee of PG's AAA-P and have given them a good workout
on my last (music related) tour. I am happy with them and had talked to peter
Of my intent of being a sorta of ambassador in showing it to tour supply business's, crew, tech's, roadies tour managers to gauge interest and maybe open a new market for ARC.(not had a chance to call him with report but if you see this peter will do so tomorrow)
So I never would put up that thread as a subsitute for a real deal ARC. since lights with the ARC/peak form factor have been very poular since i joined CPF little over a year ago, I there have been many close knockoff's, but I agree this one (other then lack of appearent quality) is obviously a copy.
My first good LED light was a infinity ultra bought well before joining CPF. one must admit it sure bears major resemblance to the ARC AAA, but in AA size.
Is it possible that peter took a good idea, and made a smaller, better, brighter unit? I don't think that's wrong, many great product's have been done that way! And incedently love the peak's i have too (ultra po AAA lug bod, and N cell pocket) but gransee's light really cut's through and the blue'ish tint seem's to work better in fog (stage fog) is brighter then any 1xAAA 1xled i own, and is other then a few personal niggles built so good and so small it transends it's simplicity.
So I would never try to muscle a knockoff to you my bro's on this of all forum's!!!!
My feelings were as stated in the closed thread (good call empath BTW)
was for a light to give as presents or cheap gifts to turn on friends on to small LED keychain lights once the bug bites, as we all have learned :naughty:
that once you see benifit's paying 40 bucks will make sense for a
people that think a solitaire is to much dough.
so for this i do apologize to Peter, and the CFPer's I angered.
But with one caveat:
I have never seen outcries from us when a knockoff of a m@g, or
other light deemed a copy or inferior, are often brought up here. (esp If as one argument goes Some of our fav light's do have foreign parts, a mag i believe is built in and uses all american part's.)
that does bug me a bit. If your gonna have ethic's apply them equally. Ok thats sermon w/apology is made, and my commentary too,
If you wish to talk abut the light in question please do so in a nice manner.
