This is my first post here. Let me just begin by saying that this is a great forum and Arc flashlights are the best money can buy.
I walk for fitness and find myself walking in the dark (with reflective clothing - a must) due to these shorter days. I've owned an LSH-P (#1902) for 3 weeks now and it is very close to being a perfect walking light. Lightweight, small, and very bright with good run-time plus moon mode will get me back safe without having to carry spare batteries.
So, for Peter and the other experts on this forum, how difficult would it be to include a strobe feature in a future ARC product (LS-4 for example). This would be very usefull to alert on-coming traffic of your presence before their headlights hit you and should run for many, many hours in a low-power strobe mode.
Now I don't know if this constant on/off will shorten the LED's life, or put strain on the circuitry, so there may be physical reasons why this cannot be done. If it can be done without sacrificing the reliability of the light, then it should increase the marketability of the light. With multiple brightness settings and strobe mode it would be a very functional all-in-one light.
Thanks for the consideration and keep up the great work!
