I have been edc'n mine since I recieved it even though it's now my back up carry it gets used more then any other light I have. Every now and again I put in the stock switch button and fall in love with how easy it is to operate that way but I can not get over the switch's weakness so back in goes the flat switch.I had Don's Ti bezel on it for a while but the way I activate it,it hurts my palm so I put on the PD's bezel ring for some extra protection(I like Don's term sacrificial(sp) part).Any ways enjoy these pics of my favorite light

Still a great light....ahead of its time...

Chris, Tell us more about this sacraficial bezel ring. Does it protect the bezel some in the event of an unplanned descent to the floor. Where would someone get one of these rings?

My arc4 lives by the front door of my house. So it's the first light I grab when I go out at night. I live in the country so it gets quite dark at night. I have a 2x123 battery tube on it, using a 16*** LiON. The 2x123 tube I understand had only a very few produced as prototypes. To bad as it's a great compliment to the light.



cheers,

You might send Don an email asking or if you know someone who has put on a Ti bezel ring they might part with theirs. It does protect the light body at it's own expense.It is the bezel from my PD. It will also transmit impact forces to the window so I may buy a saphire or put back the plastic lens. I would love to get a 2X123 body.

Still EDC'ing ARC 4+ #0451. Just replaced the battery last evening.

Considering how fast LED technology is progressing, my Arc4 has been EDCed for a looong time.
Waiting for the new line of LSs from Arc

Don's crenellated ti bezel ring that fits the Aleph2, Aleph19, McLuxIII, Arc4 and HDS:



Same is true for the standard bezel ring that still offers superior protection for those lights:

So thats why the Ti bezels are always sold out
Mine's souped up on both ends...

I would like to buy one to compare to the EDC. Anybody willing to sell one, please let me know.

I use a lot of different lights, depending on the circumstances, but my overall EDC favorite is still my H4. I put a super clear, super tough lense in it, but nothing else. The switch works great. This light was so cool when introduced, and it still beats almost everything else in its class.

Not a chance in France you're getting mine! I waited too long to get it, and I use it too much to give it up. You'll have to look elsewhere to get your experimental model.

Hi Bryan...

I`m probably just missing the obvious, but what light are you wishing to buy?

Just curious.

The Arc 4+.

I am actually interested in a lot of Arc lights. I came after Arc went out of business and when a lot of people discuss the LS' and the 4+'s , it's hard to understand without having first hand knowledge.

Where does one order one of those crenellated rings for the their light. I need one for my HDS light as I have already dented it once.

Check here though they are sold out at the moment.

ARC4+ is a classic!! They are great lights..

Tail Guards are made by CPF Nekomane ( Great Work!! )
Titanium Bezels from McGizmo

Now, the ARC4+ is more functional.

I changed the battery in mine last year and have not been able to get it to work with anything since then. I like the light but it has not been dependable for me. Guessing it is one of the dreaded switch problems.

Bryan,

PM sent your way.

There's definitely "something" about the Arc design...
