Is there a chart comparing AAA lights?

I just saw the thread for the new Arc AAA light and want to know how it compares to the original Fenix L0P. The new Arc AAA is suppose to be at least 9 lumens. How bright is the L0P and how long does each last at that level? Can anybody help? The Arc AAA is smaller?
 
No, there isn't a chart that includes every 1 AAA light but I will try my best to type some info out.

The L0P is half the brightness of a L0D-CE on high. The L0P is around 24 lumens and the L0D-CE(review) is around 46 lumens on high, around 16 lumen on medium, and around 6 lumen on low(thanks to the twice as efficient Cree XR-E P4 LED, it would be 50-60 lumen with a Cree Q5).

The Arc AAA should be a bit smaller and it is built out of better Al.

Also look a the Liteflux LF2 Cree(review), Liteflux LF2 Seoul(review, 3mm shorter then the Cree version) Tiablo A1 and Jetbeam Jet-μ(review), comparison of Lf2 Cree and L0D-CE. The Liteflux can be the dimmest of the bunch, down to 0.2% of the current on high.

The Arc might be the toughest but it is nowhere close to he brightest. The other light have no problem taking everyday punishment or the occasional hard impact against a wall and trips through the washer but don't expect them to survive a 5000 ft fall or 5 years in a stream.

Bomb proof: Arc AAA
Brightness with good relibility: L0D-CE or Liteflux LF2
 
There's a difference in the data sources though. The Arc AAA lumen numbers were measured in an integration sphere. The Fenix numbers were pulled out of someone's butt ;). Seriously, these lights are not trying to compete on lumens but the L0D CE is 20-25 lumens on high, not 45 or 80 or 25,000 or whatever they're claiming. The AAA-CS is a bit dimmer than L0D CE on medium. I know this because I just bounce tested them side by side in my closet. That should mean that the AAA-DS is about equal to the L0D CE on medium. I don't have an original L0P to test but if it's equal to the L0D CE on medium, then it should be about equal to the AAA DS.

Cree - more throw. Seoul - More spill.

I think also that only the Seoul version has the new software which remembers all settings even if the battery is removed.
