I took a short business trip to Dallas on Monday evening, and tuesday day, and I threw my keys into my carry on bag, thinking that I didn't want to carry them all day, and then go through the metal detector.
Well wouldn't you know it, I was touring one hospital (I visited two that day) and they were showing me how they use palm pilots to do menu entry for patients, and they were complaining that the light is too low in some patient rooms, and the clerks did not want to turn on the light to do their menu entry and disturb the patient.
Well, I thought that the quig lite would be a perfect solution to this problem. No offense to ARC, but, the Palm Pilot requires you to use 2 hands, and the quig is designed to be used in the shirt pocket and angled to meet your lighting requirements.
Well, I jumped up, and said, how about a light that would be about this bright, yet can be clipped into a shirt pocket, and turned on by s click of a button? I reached into my pocket, and AAAAUUUUGGGGGHHH, no KEYS. NO ARC!
At that point, I realised how much I actually use my ARC.
With all these new lights coming out, it seems that the arc is not as exciting as it once was. I remember, when first joining CPF, ALMOST every post was about an ARC light. There were so many posts that CPF started their own forum (yes, at one time, ARC lights did not have their own forum!
Anyway, I thought yall would find this post interesting.
