Arc AAA mass purchase Low prices and opinions pls

[Toxin]

Hi ya'll, I plan on purchasing about 6-8 Arc AAA for family and friends, its the only kind of flashlight there willing to carry, for a keychain. Now is this the right way to go for a small flashlight? or is there anything else out in the market to buy. Remember Iam buying alot so price is an issue and i dont want to give people bad flashlights. I heard the CMG ultra is like an arc but not as bright and i find it cheaper but i'll pay a little more for the arc aaa. Iam also going to purchase the arc aaa LE for my keychain. Let me know what you guys/gals think thanks for your time.

It's hard to go wrong getting the ARC AAA. Peter Gransee/ARC stand behind their product. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

The AAA is the only way to go on this one. Your friends and family will love these things. One awesome light IMO. Who knows, they may hoist you on their shoulders and parade you through town /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Doug /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Go Arc all the way. You won't regret it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif
I've personally done lots of research on Arc flashlights they're "A1" all the way. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The CMG Ultra is about the same brightness as the Arc AAA. The Arc AAA looks better IMO, and is amazing that anything that small can be so bright. You can't go wrong buying either light. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

The ARC-AAA is a great light. Small, bright, and well made. THE BEST single LED light made, IMO. I'm never without mine.
The CMG is as also nice. As bright as the ARC and cheaper but larger and not really suited for keychain use.

If you decide on the ARC, I have some to sell. PM sent.

Toxin, the CMG Ultra is a very nice light but it runs on one AA and is about 3x the size/weight of an Arc AAA. It's about the same brightness.

There's also the CMG Sonic, which uses an AAA and competes more directly with the Arc. They are pretty similar but the Arc is nicer. The CMG does cost somewhat less.

Finally you could consider coin cell lights like the Photon II. They are nowhere NEAR as nice as the AAA lights, but they're even smaller and cost a lot less.

If you're going to buy 6-8 at once, call the dealers, don't order off the web. I recommend www.texastacticalsupply.com . I am pretty sure you'll at least get a break/free shipping.
