Where do I buy a ARC AAA?

[jeffrey]

Seems like alot of web sites are out of stock . Where can I pick one up at a reasonable price say less than $25?

Jeff,

Try the ARC website! An ARC AAA is currently on sale for
$24.95. A good flashlight for the price, trust me.

Jeffrey,
If you haven't already found it and still want one, I have a spare one for $22 + shipping, in the original style (genuine ziplock baggie packaging! )

 

[BentHeadTX]

Wingerr,
If he won't pick it up, I will!

 

[Wingerr]

Well, I thought I'd return the favor for his heads up on the solutionscatalog deal /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/clap.gif; let's see what he says, I guess..

Wingerr,
No problem...good things come to those that wait.

Sounds good until you see the 5 week backlog. I use my ARC AA 15-20 times/day at work, but reaching into your pocket with inky hands (I'm a printer) gets to be a hassle. I need a AAA to hang around my neck. The AA is a bit heavy after 10 hrs or so for that duty. Bought 5 for Christmas gifts last year, then just found out my wife gave hers away as a birthday gift! I could have choked her! Now, when I need one.... Grrrrrr

Wetdog, the Arc AAA is by far the nicest keychain light, but there are lots of other lights that work perfectly well on a neck lanyard. CMG Sonic (similar to Arc AAA), PT Blast (a bit bigger and a lot brighter), the Arc AA you already have or another one like it, CMG Infinity Ultra, UKE 2AAA (eLED or xenon), or maybe a squeeze-type light if you don't want to turn a twist bezel with ink on your hands. Heck, the AA or Ultra will stay lit through a whole shift on a NiMH AA cell, so you can just leave it running and mostly avoid getting gunk on it from turning it on and off, and drop the cell into the charger at the end of the day.

I would second the CMG Sonic as an alternative. The ARC-AAA is fine piece of work, no question, but the Sonic is also a dependable emitter of light. You wouldn't be disappointed with it when you need illumination.

Didn't I read a while back someone was taking the Streamlight Keymate and modding them to a VERY bright luxeon? "Turbomate" or something? Sounds like the hook-up (or not, as it certainly has no cult status).

 

[Wingerr]

Don't forget the Dorcy AAA for bang/buck ratio- the local Walmart had a boatload of them on the rack for the first time I've seen, so it looks like they've ramped up production or something..

Well, I ordered one here a couple days ago. Hope it's in stock, it didn't say it wasn't, and I never got an email stating it was backordered.

Arc AAA

$1.50 shipping.

I'll post back when it arrives.

When I would have to have a light hanging in front of me, I would choose a SwissLight, it is not heavier than an ArcAAA and it recharges itself all the time. But you have to be happy with the light output.

I would wear a headlight in your case (with a proximity sensor)

Sorry for OT .-) but wasn't there an Arc headlight talked about....

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Great. Let's hope they ship mine out. Perhaps I'll give them a call on Monday.

On Vicomptel's main Arc page, it says the following:

"NOTE:

STARTING NOV. 7TH, 2003

Arc-Flashlight items purchased on the website will only be shipped internationally. All domestic orders please refer to www.arcflashlight.com for your purchase needs."

I hope it works out for you.

LOL.

That makes a bunch of sense. I used Google until I found what I thought was a shop with Arc AAAs in stock. I saw no mention of international orders only on the Arc AAA page, and the shipping section should have sorted my order from the international orders. Shoot. Well, I'll give them a few days to figure it out and refund the money if this is the case.

Thanks for the info.

I would've ordered from Arc. In fact, I even tried to purchase one figuring they would ship one when they were back in stock, but I was unable to add one to the cart. Should have just stuck to Ebay huh? Only saw one premium on Ebay, and figured I'd save the $10.

I purchase stuff online all the time, and didn't even think I had to research the store to buy a tiny little flashlight. What a bummer.
