I just received an Arc AAA turquoise. It is plenty bright enough and exactly like it was advertised (new). I also was told it had artifacts in the beam. I bought it knowing this. Do all colored AAA's have rings in their beams? Is this something I could send it back to Arc about?. I didn't think it would bother me but now I'm not sure. thanks. dtsoll ps I also received an Arc AAA LE that is absolutely flawless in beam and quality. I love these little lights. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif dtsoll
