LSH-P 1102 just acquired (other 4 registered earlier)
harrydog,
Serial numbers are interesting. My first LSH-P was delivered end of July (1048) followed about 10 days later by LSH-P 1907 and I just got LSH-P 1102 yesterday. My LSL-P's seem to follow the normal progression 192 followed by 338. All were bought directly from Arc. So nothing hanging around in a dealer's inventory. Just another part of the total mystique.... they are all wonderful lights.
The serial numbers do seem to march along with the production dates, however. #1048 was 5-16-03, #1907 was 8-1-03, and #1102 was 7-15-03. Why was 1907 sent out before 1102?? Who cares, but it is fun to speculate. What you get on any given order seems to depend on how far into the "pile" the person reaches. Look at all the "older" first runs that are showing up recently. My guess is that were sitting at the "bottom" of the seconds bin and lately a lot of people have been buying seconds and the bottom has been reached. But again, so what. They are all great.
