Just wanted to relate an experience with my ARC 4+ second in action.
I am currently traveling to one of our customer sites to inspect a gas turbine engine along with about 15 other engineers. This is a detailed type of inspection where the engine has been through a grueling test, and is now broken down into all its individual pieces, down to the screw and o-ring level of detail. Our job is to inspect each and every piece for unusual damage or pretty much anything out of the ordinary.
Needless to say there are some fairly complex parts with lots of holes/crevices/passages/etc. I brought along my 4+ to help illuminate these. It has worked out GREAT due to the ability to change power levels, the long run-time of the battery, and the lack of heat generated during use. The multi-levels of power has probably been the most useful; too bright and the glare would hide any potential flaws, too dim and you couldn't see down in bolt holes.
The light has been an unqualified hit with the other engineers. Its always "Let me borrow your light", "Can I see your light again", "What else will it do" !!! And finally (listen up Peter) "Where can I get one????"
Hopefully several of my colleagues will become flashaholics; its easy, I'm a perfect example.
Well, got another few days of work left. Good thing I have extra batteries (always). Thanks again to Peter, Merri, and all the ARC employees who made such an ingenious light.
