Before I buy my LSH-P I want to be clear on its advantages over my previous ARCs.
I have several LS 400 seconds, one of which is excellent, slightly bluish, nice wide beam not quite as bright as my brightest KL1 but more pleasant to look at. I have it mounted in a 2AA ARC pack with 2 lithiums becauise runtime is very important to me. The twist head is more convenient for me than a clickie. With a thin strip of skateboard tape around the head it is very comfortable to use in"standard" flashlight position.
Here are my questions about the LSH-P:
1) Will it attach properly to the 2AA body? (partly answered by "old 123 twisty" thread.
2)Specific beam advantages over previous Arcs, ie: brightness, color, beam pattern and dispersion. In particular, is the beam like a stage spot which is sharply defined with virtually no peripheral light. IOW, is it a clear circle of light surrounded by darkness?
3) Is it really brighter than previous LS's?
4) How glitch-free is the LSH-P? IOW, is it a finished product that I can rely on when I'm out in the sticks some dark night?
5) What is the highest voltage it will accept on a constant-run basis?
I know that some of these questions have been partly answered already, but before I spend $130-$160 I want to be as clear as possible on these issues.
