That's a darned good question! Anyone tried it against the minimag2aa and with all the 3 battery packs yet? The minimag *I* have is plain silly dim and yellow to me, but seems to be the benchmark, nonetheless.

ill try give me a minute

 

[TrevorNasko]

white
2aa= kills the minimag 3x as bright a prettier beam too
1aa=still can wipe the floor with the mag 1x brightness
123= 3x brightness

red
no i wont compare. what sort of a monster do you think i am anyway? what will it do to the mags pride? if its brighter than a 3d mag i think the results on a 2 aa mag are predictable.

I've tested the LS using the 2AA pack against the 2AA Mini-Mag. With the original mini-mag lamp in the mini-mag, the LS clearly wins. If you put a Nexstar lamp in the Mini-Mag, the Mini-Mag is brighter by a hair, especially at longer distances, because you can focus the beam. Once the batteries are a bit drained though, the LS wins.

Let's see if this works.

Hey ARAGORN,
I think we can make a deal. I can get you the chicks for the LS kits no problem. No wait a minute I take that back the chicks I know like playing with someting a little bigger than what you call your "LED". Reluctantly,I guess the deals off.
BTW: You started a thread to boast about your collection? Are you sure your screen name isn't misspelled. I'm thinking someting more along the lines of ARROGANT!!!
Can anyone back me up here???
All in good fun,
STEELHEAD

Nice one steelhead,

I too think that arogant is an exelent name for aragorn! Fits perfectly!

Just kidding aragorn,but like i have said before, my MAKITA14.4V55W650LM.EYEFRYER still stomps all of your flashlights!

It is a lucky thing that you don't have the first run#000 or you would really be shovelling it out! Again just joshing you ,no offense intended.

I forget who said it first but, "If you feel the urge to get married, find a woman you hate and buy her a house!" Same result without all that unpleasant stuff in the middle. She might even be grateful, if you know what I mean.

 

[TrevorNasko]

you there with the 000 - i got a ls white and a light canon you might like. emial me please

 

[Flagone]

Has the head design of the LS changed since the early models? Aragorn's LS heads look different.

 

[Flagone]

Damn, the message scrolled onto a new page. The heads look different to this.

 

[hotfoot]

Hey, its #000! Flagone you lucky guy! Were you just pointing this fact out or are ya really trying to ask a question. Dunno if its me, but I see no diff. Well, ok *maybe* just the knurling. Yours appears to be flush with the body - aragorn's (and mine FR#134) all look to have knurling that is on a raised section. Is that it?

 

[hotfoot]

I just did a comparo - white LS FR#134 (old optics) vs MinimagAA+lithiums+new stock maglite bulb. The minimag beam was bright yellow, but was still brighter overall

*especially* when focused over long distances(50 feet or so). Did I get a dud LS or what? My silly minimag beat my LS whatever the battery/pack combo. Got pix to prove it too. I WANNA OVERDRIVE MY ARC-LS - SOMEONE, pleeeeze tell me how

 

[Flagone]

Hotfoot, the knurling is flush with the body. I didn't realise it was different to the other Arc LS's until I saw Aragorn's photos.

I think I recall Peter saying something about changing the knurling back when these were first released.

Big into the Olympics, are you Trev? Am I the only one who noticed that Sarah Hughs IS the "band camp" girl from American Pie?

[hotfoot]

Hang on to #000, flagone - no matter what aragorn tempts you with - yours is a genuine collector's article!

Darell, if Sarah Hughs IS the band camp girl of American Pie, we'd better not let her anywhere loose near aragorn's collection of - *ahem* - tubular items. We all know about that last story she told about band camp

 

[TrevorNasko]

what the hell are you two talking about?american pie? huh?

 

[cave dave]

OT

The "band camp" girl was Alyson Hannigan from Buffy the Vampire slayer. I'm not sure who Sara Huges is.

 

[TrevorNasko]

it might be nice to date ms. hughs
