asdalton,
Get it straight, read what I wrote...... I said "MY" Ultra-G and "MY" Arc AAA. I did NOT say "EVERYONE'S". But next time, just for you, I will say "NOT EVERYONE'S", I will say something cute like "YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY", would that make you happy?
Oh, and one more thing. MY Ultra-G is in fact brighter with more side spill than MY Arc AAA (regular). Got it? Any questions? Have a problem with that?
Maybe you should not be the one trying to tell me or anyone else if THEIR lights are brighter or have more side spill than another one that they own. You want to tell us all about your lights fine, but don't try to tell me about mine.
Mike
