I have an Arc LSH and I think it gives out 15 Lumens. I was looking at info on the SF A2 and in the LED mode it gives out 3 Lumens.Is that correct?
Is the Arc brighter in the Led mode than the A2? Help me to understand this because I was thinking of buying an A2.
Thanks

The Arc LSH is much brighter than the 3 LEDs of the A2. That's correct, SureFire lists their A2 as 3 lumens when running the 3 LEDs.

The LSH uses a luxeon while the A2 is just 3 "conventional" LEDs...

The A2 houses 3 nichias. Current nichias wont even come close to a 1W Luxeon Star...

In short, yes, the Arc is brighter than the A2's leds...
