Guys,

I recently received a few Arc AAA lights, new in package. The source that I purchased the lights from stated that these were "Premiums", but they only say "ARC" around the head. Are these Premiums or are they standards?

Is a "Premium" the same thing as a Limited Edition?

Thanks,
MSax

The older Premiums were labeled as Limited Editions. I think they are the same.

If it have only "ARC" on the body. It's a standard. last run premiums are marked with "ARC-P"

Hallis, look at the base of your ARC AAA premium body. It will have "limited edition" printed.

Please look at the pic posted above and you will see printing on the base of body. Yours should be like the third light from the right.

I have an AAA replacement due to the intermittance problem, when Peter sent me a new light (a Premium like the bad one) I received it with the engravement around the head saying AAA-P but not "Limited Edition" on the body like the old ones, so the last butch of AAA (standard) or AAA-P (premium) are not engraved "limited edition" on the bottom of the body.
Cy´s picture shows it very clear the last three runs of Arc AAA. Is that correct?
