ARC AAA for Wife

[benw]

So I track my Fed-ex online all day, "Package Delivered"!!!!. When I get home there is a very large box and I am thinking, "Geez, they sure are packaging the ARC AAA's well these days???"

Well, my normal Fed-ex guy (live in a private gated community) was out and the replacement guy was not at his best today. The huge package at my door was my neighbors and my package was one block over.

I purchased a ARC AAA Premium GS for my wife's keychain. I tested it, replaced the Duracell with an Energizer Lithium AAA and proceeded to show my wife how to use it.

She thought it was "cute" and that it would not interefere even if she used the tiny tiny purse when we go out for dinner LOL!

I has taken a couple years, but I think she has finally embraced flashlights (one of the first things I bought her when we met was one of the original Lightwave 4000 LED flashlights which was a 2D Cell led light in 2002 to help her get around at a remote Summer Camp).

Congrats on helping your wife see the light benw.

Now next thing you know, you will receive a Fenix L0D-CE Q4 for a present.

Good job on the present, I'm sure she'll like it.

I have already tried to trade my wife for a light and it was fun but it never worked out.

Regarding the original post; well done! It is real nice to be able to give something that you love to someone that you love and for them to appreciate it. Nice choice in lights by the way.

I have tried on a couple of occasions to pin one of the Arcs to my wife's keychain but she won't have it:shrug:

How do you like the GS? I haven't seen one yet. Is the hotspot still as blue as the CD/DS?

My wife doesn't like the ARC. The head is too hard to twist. Of course, she won't take my Fenix EO either, even though it's head is super easy to twist. SHe pretty much just doesn't want a light on her keys. I think she is under the impression that it's nerdy. She does have a purple MiniMag AA with the Nite-Ize 1w luxeon for getting around the house.

I found a solution though. She has to have an ID card for work, so I stuck a SuperBeam (made by Excalibir Electronics at Fry's for a little over 2 dollars) to the back of it. It's really flat and is made to stick on a cell phone. It has a button switch that turns off if you let go, and it's got a pair of little 3mm LEDs. Pretty bright for what it is.

If she spent about 45 minutes inside a pitch black elevator during a power outage, she might wish she had that keychain light.
