I was in class this morning and we were in the middle of our lecture when all of a sudden the lights went out in our room. Its not a huge classroom but holds probably about 150 students. When the lights died I saw a bunch of people pulling out their cell phones so they could see were all of their stuff was. I decided to whip out my Arc AAA P to light some stuff up...as soon as I turned it on half of the room was lit up and dozens of people turned around to look at me and see where this light was coming from and I noticed half of them were squinting :D .

The professor opened the doors to the room where I was dissapointed to see that it was only our room that was dark :grumpy: . I used the arc to help a few people find some of their stuff and then I left feeling proud to be an owner of this little peice of perfection only wishing that their had been a real blackout so I could have got to use it more.

I usually carry my Sure Fire A2 with me everywhere but for the past couple of weeks I havent brought it to my morning classes because its uncomfortable to have on my belt sitting in the small seats sometimes. Just reinforces the point of Murphy's law...Although if I had, had it their would have been many people leaving the room seeing spots and with their retinas on fire :D .

And thats another point for the Arc.
 
My ARC AAA has saved the moment for me and others several times during the past 3 plus years -- mainly because I always have it with me. I have more lights than I care to count; yet, despite all this time and trying several other keychain light candidates, I still think the ARC AAA is the best overall keychain light there is -- overall is the key word here.
 
Great story. Thanks for sharing. :)

Sad to think that, a few years after the NYC blackout, many New Yorkers don't or won't carry any kind of light at all because, "It's too much trouble," or "It'll never happen again." :(
 
The ARC AAA rules. I've carried mine every day since I first got it.... except for the year that it was lost on my front lawn. It survived a year of snow, rain, fertilization, and being mowed over every week of summer. I finally stumbled upon it with a metal detector I borrowed from a friend. I just picked it up and turned it on. I didn't even have to change the battery. Not a speck of rust anywhere inside of it. One tough mother of a flashlight.

Wow! Thats what I call durability.
 
It always amazes me how few people will carry even a tiny flashlight. But then some people will not carry even a tiny pen knife. :rolleyes:
 
I think most people haven't got the word yet. They still think keyring flashlights are useless and nothing less than a 2D could get them out of a subway tunnel, and even that probably won't work when you need it, batteries dead. They see modern flashlights in the store, with advertising claims on the blister packs, but nobody believes advertising and you can't try out a flashlight in the store....

I've been converting my family and friends one by one, but some of them still laugh at me when I pull out my latest flashlight to show it off. "There he is with a flashlight again...." :rolleyes:
