TIN,
I figured what my problem was after reading your charts. High output only occurs with fresh cells, lasting aprox. 5 minutes in ARC4X.
Now I see the output difference. Not so much in hotspot brightness, but in total output.
The beam tint is indentical to my X3T, to me very slightly yellow. The ARC4X output is simular to the X3T in that it puts out a lot of light, but the hot spot is not as intense as other high end lights (L1-PR-T 917 TWOJ.
I've looked at the lux closely and cannot tell if it's a 1 watt or 3 watt. (it's not a 5 watt) Peter sure can keep a secret and still has not fessed up.
According to an earlier post by Peter, there are only 5 ARC4X made.
Thanks again for offering this,
CY
