A year ago last October, I ordered an Arc LS1rev2, and was quite pleased and impressed with it. After about 6 months, I sold it at B/S/T, because (in true flashoholic form) there was about four other lights that I just HAD to have, but was short on $$$. From the time I sold it, I regretted it, because it was IMHO the best true EDC-sized light I'd ever owned.
Well, I just acquired an LSH-S via a trade with a fellow CPFer (THANX, JT!!!), and now I fully understand and appreciate the enthusiasm over the LSH. The one I received isn't a Premium, it's a Standard, but it's output is VERY white...in fact, there's not even a hint of blue, green, violet, or any other color except for WHITE! The throw of the high-dome when compared to (what I recall) the throw of the low-dome in my LS1rev2 was is FAR superior, while still giving off a very adequate side-spill. Add to that the fact that I received a TSP AND a twisty tail cap, and I'm in flashoholic heaven!!! If the one I received is a Standard, I get goosebumps thinking about what the output of a Premium would be like. Low-domes do have their niche, but I've become a high-dome fan for life! This is the BEST true EDC-sized light I've ever owned...and since joining CPF, I've owned over 200 lights of all shapes and sizes. Peter, you GO, boy!!!
