I want to get an Arc flashlight for EDC. I carry a mini maglite now and want to update.
Main questions What is the length and Diameter of the Arc 4?
Same Q for the ARC LSH?
I work in the dark-- Laser Lab. Most of the time I'm fine but sometimes I need to find a screwdriver. Somedays I go without using my light at all. I would also use the light to take the dogs out at night. Sometimes Racoons get in the dumpster scare us all. Again not much use. Since I'm carrying it all the time I may use it for self defense. i.e. Shining light into someones eyes and retreating.
Now that my use is out of the way.
Should I get a LSH Regular or a ARC 4 Second? Are Arc 4 seconds a good deal for me? I love gadgets and like all the brains in the light, so I'll figure out all the intracacies. Does all that still work in a second? Would the only difference be brightness and run time or cosmetics? Is it possible that I'd never even notice barring a light meter or comparision light (both of which I'll never have). Or should I wait 2 weeks or more to get a regular version? Or is there somewhere that has a regular in stock now, but that would be pushing the price limit.
What's the verdict?
Thanks
