Arc lights appearing in television shows and movies

[Flagone]

As far as I know there are none.

I know Peter has enough problems with demand for his Arc LS at the moment but having an Arc LS with a 123 pack appearing in a television show or movie would be sure to raise the profile of led lights.

The lights they include in these shows are typically gumby regardless of the supposed sophistication of the characters. The characters stumble along not knowing where they are going with a tiny spot of intense light in from of them rather than being bathed in pure white light easily showing their way.

Possible candidates for an Arc LS cameo are Law and Order and Alias. Anybody know Steven Spielberg?

I think having shows pop in an ARC product for publicity may not help ARC. The general TV and movie crowd does not know lights as we know them. You cannot impress the beam quality by what it shows on the screen. You need to see it for yourself. In fact, many of these crowds seem to think everything about Mags. They seem to be impressed by size, as the bigger the better. They probably will be WOWed by the 9 cell Mag...

Imaging the times you showed one of these impressive LED lights (esp. the ARCs) to people who think the world of Mags. The first thing they wanted to compare was how far it's beam went. You had to spend at least several minutes explaining to them the merits of they new lights. Some will understand and get excited, but most will just give you the OK and move on...

With ARC providing lights, it may work against us. Imagine, Peter spending time with deadhead producers and directors to sell his wares (we want him to spend it with us), wanting him to make the light much larger so it looks impressive (why machine an ARC-LS to look like a mini baseball bat just for show), and having him provide free lights and batteries (hey, it's coming from our supply, due to their demands). I think it will cost us more in the end...
