ARC 6 inbound-please share your thoughts **updated**

[chaoss]

I just picked one up in B/S/T and wanted to know what to expect.

Are you happy with yours, and more importantly, is it a keeper?

You can see from my sig-line that i prefer floody, artifact/ring free beams with decent runtimes. Will this light be worthy?

Thanks,
chaoss out .


Well the light arrived less than 24 hours ago and i'm already impressed with it.
Fit & finish is excellent. LED tint & beam quality is on par with my other EDC lights and the size of this thing (easily the smallest in my line up) is impressive, meaning i will be more likely to "grab" this torch when i suit up for the day/night. And knowing it has a death grip Ti carry clip means i won't be worried about losing it anytime soon .

I configured the setting as:
Stage 1 - Level 1
Stage 2 - Level 3
Stage 3 - Strobe


Thanks for everyone's feedback on this subject and a greatful thank you to Mr. Gransee for producing such a nice light :thumbsup:.

No rings, fairly floody with a warmspot in the center. It's a good light.

You can make it look like mine, if you're good at soldering and gluing:

Great light, been my edc for the past year+ despite temptations from others. I love the UI, and the quick access to 3 different programmed settings. I wouldn't mind a little more throw but other than that its gonna be my main light for awhile to come.

Chaoss - I look forward to hearing your thoughts! The Novatac 120P remains my favorite light and since I've just upgraded to a K2 tffc emitter I'm hopeful it has breathed new life into an already excellent light. I've been considering the Arc6 for some time but have hesitated for a few reasons - cost of course but partly the user interface as I seem to gravitate toward clickies in anything that doesnt have to be really small.

I scored an Arc6 on BST several months back. I really value it's small size. It is my smallest of high end 123 lights. It is a good light for just dropping in the pocket of my boardshorts when I'm headed out in the evening. I have the guarded tail version. The beam quality is right in the same ballpark as the 120P, Ra Clicky, and Haiku.

It's a real fine light that exudes quality. I always think that it's one of the great unloved lights on CPF.
