distinguishing MillerMods AAA from ARC-P DS

Ok, so I'm in for both. I figure Peter's new ACR-P DS with 9 lumens is perfect for long runtime on ordinary alkalines. The MillerMods CREE will be my "wow 'em" light on lithium primaries. However, I don't want two identical looking lights with the same low beam. Before Erik gets into production, I need to arrange my order so that the low on my MillerMods is either ultra low (like 3 lumens) or noticably brighter than the ACR-P DS (like 20 lumens). Back at the beginning of the MillerMod AAA thread Erik supplied estimated outputs with then-availiable bins, but production bins will be higher, so these earlier estimates aren't much help. Anybody else thinking about this? SURE IS A GOOD TIME FOR AAA LIGHTS!

You could also buy the Fenix L0D-CE as a wow light. Reports say 120 lumen out the front with a 10440 3.7v battery but runtime is very short, 10 minutes. But quality is also not ARC quality.

Wow, only 10 minutes? I wonder what my LF2 SSC P4 will get with that battery. I'm waiting for them in the mail.

The LF2 runs dimmer then the L0D-CE mon 10440 batteries. The L0D-CE is direct drive on a 10440 battery while the LF2 would be regulated.

Check the reviews section, I think there were runtimes of the LF2 with both AA and 10440 batteries.

Nothing wows them like a dead light!

Thanks for the laugh StandardBattery

The runtime was more like 15minutes on high to prevent over discharge, runtime is longer on other modes.

But that is still a short runtime.

The reason I'm going with another ARC rather than the LOD or similiar for a "wow" AAA light is so my wife won't accuse me of buying yet another light (just hoping she doesn't discover the two together).
