Arc LS vs. SF E1?

[John N]

Can someone comment on the relative brightness of the LS (1 123A) vs the E1? I've seen a few photos on the forum, but it's kind of hard to make out what it really looks like.

Also, I'd be interested in thoughts about relative size (I understand know one other than Peter has a production LS yet).

Reason is, my wife thinks a two 123A cell light is too big for her purse. Trying to decide what would be best.

Thanks,

The E1 is a bit smaller then the LS 123. They are very close in brightness, the LS is a bit dimmer and has a smoother beam with a longer run time. I would take the Arc LS, because it is has a better "neato" factor.
