Who plans to buy an Arc-AAA GS? Sounds like a big performer for the size. USA made.

My camo Arc-AAA with the premium LED that they come with was very bright. The new model with the Nichia GS LED promises to be twice as bright. This is the first time I've been excited about a new flashlight coming out in awhile!

Looking at their site I only see a CS and DS model. Where is the GS?

yeah. can't find the elusive GS you speak of.

Sorry!!!! Hehehe

It should be here any day now: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/188722

Bright and long runtime on an easily found alkaline AAA cell.

:twothumbs

Oh that gets posted by Peter end of next week on the company site.
Take a look at the ARC page. It sounds good!
HERE

This version of the ARC does look promising, I look forward to it's release date!

OK thanks for the link.:thumbsup:

At first I was :thinking:-Hmm... something doesn't add up here. A ~$50 light that only emits 10.5 Lumens:thinking:? Then I read AND thought about some of its design strengths... AAA cell, DC-DC regulation, 100 feet waterproof, typeIII anodize, stainless contacts, USA made, lifetime warranty. A lifetime warranty on a KEYCHAIN EDC light gets a big thumbs up. I have never had a keychain light last longer than 6-7 months, and that includes the mag solitaire I had a few years ago.

I'm not in the market for a keychain EDC at the moment, but perhaps some day.

I wonder why they didn't use a Nichia Jumbo for (perhaps) even more lumens... and decent run times.

I just bought a DS this morning! Well, it was used and a very good price, so no regrets there. And I typically don't buy new lights, and I was more than satisfied with my Arc AAA Camo (-P), so no, I don't plan on buying a GS.

I will probably buy one. It's not supposed to be 2x as bright as a DS but might be 2x as bright as a CS. Anyway, this is not a light you buy for cheap lumens. It's a keeper and a classic.

yep, definitely me. to add to my camo arc and arc-aaa ds!

Anyone know where I can find out specs on the Nichia emitters? I have no idea what the difference is between the CS, DS, and GS...

Any help... then I might buy one since I lost my Fenix LOD.

Thanks,
RC

I'm definitely buying one.. (And to think I already have a Arc AAA CS,as well as an Arc AA.I'm addicted..)

Sounds very cool !





Now, if Peter would only offer that new circuitry
which ArcMania (michael jordan) has developed . . . .

:devil:

Waiting for comparative beamshots with the DS before making a decision.

Based on what I've heard about the different type of beam produced, I won't be getting one.

I will be buying one.
nichia site lists the DS as 27,000 mcd and the GS-K1 as 30,000.
Good grief, I remember when 10,000 was good.

Now I want a Bluish-Green Arc with a NSPE510GS.

Do all threads started in LED Forum about Arcs just automatically get moved to the Arc forum? No wonder a lot of people don't know about them.
