Yesterday I received the LSL and the AAA Arc lights. The LSL is perfect for my use. It's a great light and a great value, especially considering you get the AA tube too. Regarding the AAA, I noticed there is no lens. I assume this is normal. I don't intend to baby this light and was going to carry it in my pocket with keys, coins, a pocketknife, etc. Without a lens I was wondering if the reflector is scratch resistant and durable and should I be concerned about things contacting the LED.

the reflector can be scratched fairly easily, but it doesn't harm the beam at all.

the led itself can be harmed too, but it's rececessed and not likely to see a lot of harm. examining my year+ old one now i can't decern much in the way of scratches, but even a few scratches won't hurt the beam too badly.
remember that with a normal flashlight, the lens would get scratched anyway.
