Received my ARC LSL-P this morning. Absolutely flawless - not a speck of dust to be seen. Lovely dark annodizing without a single blemish and a perfectly centered luxeon. Spent a good couple of minutes just admiring its beauty. Having owned 2 previous ARCs, neither of which was a premium, I can appreciate why these cost more. Then I turned it on, reached for my BB500 and compared the beams. The ARC is brighter by quite a margin and has a much smoother transition from the hotspot to the outer edges.
I have finally found my perfect flashlight.
