Just saw this on LightHound.com... anyone purchase this light yet? Spec's according to the link are as follows - the light looks a lot like a Gladius but only has two levels of output. BIN code is listed as UWOJ (nice) and runtime on high is fairly good with NiMH at 2 hours, 27 minutes, low is 20+ hrs. Price: $290.

Check this thread.

The MaxLite 1 was discussed and sold in that thread.
Discussion really starts around post #464 but I think the first mention is in post #458.

What are you smoking, and why is it raising the dead? (just kidding!)

Sorry about your Ti Arc AAA, but ARC mania is a custom light maker, and is not associated with Arc Flashlights.
