I was thinking about replacing my ARC-LS on my key chain with something new and preferably smaller.

Can someone comment on the brightness, size (pic would be great), and runtime between these lights? Thanks in advance!

I replaced my ARC (123 twisty) with the P1 for a short period of time. the P1 is smaller, brighter, has a narrower beam, and lighter weight. I'd still have it on my keychain except my girlfriend took it from me. No pics, but from what I recall, it's almost the same length, but the P1 is skinnier, and it just feels much smaller for some reason. Run time would depends on what type of ARC you have, but I would say they're comparable.

Thanks for the reply! My ARC has a clickie, so I'm sure the P1 will be shorter. Skinnier would be nice too!

I might just get the P1 for the heck of it. It's relatively inexpensive and I have read such great things about it. Ive seen the runtime plots at about 2hrs in regulation which is plenty! The ARC is less than that I think.
