High all,

After the loss of my first ARC AAA-P rev.4 I felt the burn. The burn that I have to get another flashlight. And two more I ordered...

But ya know, like guns, cars, shoes, clothes, etc..."I need one for..." bug bites and bites.

Here is a shot of my Maglight (or M@glight for some of ya) 2D vs. my first ARC AAA-P rev. 4...

Pretty cool ain't it?

Now the bite area is itching: I need a stronger pocket light, (my Arc amazes me time and time again about the power and compactness) 1W lux or so for regular flashlight duty, so my Arc can not get lost like it's not supposed to...(things are so tiny)

Could anyone pictulate the whole madness about the 1W, 3W, and 5W Lux versus a little Arc? I'm thinking 1W 1x123 light, like a Pelican or Peak. (Don't worry, first it was 5W, then a 3w 2x123)

I need a cure...Ya know, and they always say, "And that should be the last one..." :grin2: Oh, and price matters, under 50 bucks, preferably 40 or so. But the normal coolness—Al body, HA III anodizing, etc...

Hello icecube:)

My vote: Fenix

1 or 3 Watter with 1xaa, 2xaa, 1x 123 cells

Best regards

¡Odolé!

But there ain't no 1W Lux 1x123 Fenix!

There is the L1P...and the L1T...and then there's Inova..

I use an inova t1 light as my edc and love it.
1W luxan 1 123A battery and it lasts I think 1.5 hrs with very good throw.

durable 3a hard anodized water proof and great solid feel and good grip

I've been studying a Peak LED Solutions Atlantic and Glacier Bay...

Those thing have nearly 3 hour run times...

Anyone have one? The Glacier Bay looks hot.

What's the big difference between the two?
