I'd appreciate any comments on this light? Thanks!
 
You can check the Arc forum too but I think it's a great little light for it's size. It has something most if any other lights in it's class don't have: super high output mode (you really need the rechargeable CR123s for this) that only runs a few minutes but gives more light output for those times when you really need it. The PD (piston drive) is very intuitive and reliable. It's expensive but so are other American made lights.

It's also very small for a CR123 light and can be programmed so you get the light level you need when it's turned on. I'd probably get one myself if it could easily attach to a keychain.

It is small and very well made. Of all my lights, it is the best for what I need.
I am very happy with it. I really like being able to set the light level.
 
Great light, highly recommended; versatile and customizable. Unique "virtual" setting is pretty useful. Piston drive is very intuitive and almost idiot proof.
My current edc for the past year and the foreseeable future.
 
Use mine all the time. It is great having the piston and the twisty option on the same light! The beam is flawless, great low level and high. Tailstands, excellent fit and finish. What's not to like.:thumbsup:
 
Objectively speaking, the Nitecore EX10 has more useful features, but the aesthetics and durability of the Arc6 more than make up for not having things like realtime-adjustable brightness -- the Arc6 feels like it was made by your friend from high school who now runs a machine shop.

But, ultimately it's just a light and its job is to light up things, and they both do it very well. If you don't want to spend $250, and/or you don't care about aesthetics all that much, and/or the user interface is the most important thing to you, I'd get the Nitecore EX10.
