Hey Guys,
This has probably been discussed previously but I don't often make it over to this forum.

Are there any ARC AAA's left around for a reasonable price? If so can someone email where they might be e.isaacson@insightbb.com

Otherwise what is a good subsitute?

I didn't buy enough of the ARC's when they were around and now I regret it :(

Thanks in advance

:D:D
 
You can paypal an order now if you don't want/care about packaging.

Don't know when the credit card will be up. latest estimates to include packing in August 1. However, since there will be a large demand, I think August 1 is optimistic. I'd guess Sept 1.

Are they shipping any now? I don't care about the packaging, but I'd like to make sure the light arrives

:D:D
 
They are shipping in batches. If you do the pay pal thing, they ships in the order they are received. So you may have to wait a batch or two ( a few weeks ) until they get to you.

someone on ebay probably has them now.

If you REALLY need one I have an "old" premium I got last year right before ARC folded.
 
I think the wait is more like days than weeks. You can email Peter@gransee.com and he'll give you the scoop. I have three of the new ones. I've always been a fan of the old Arc company, and have more than 20 of them as well.

Here's a pic I took of one of the new ones. Accidentally turned out nice!

That 2 week delay is to wait for the retail packaging. You can request a "quick ship" option and get an Arc now, which comes with no retail packaging. See here.

Sorry Owen - post edited.

best regards
 
Yeah, I was just messing with Eric, 'cause the "two weeks" wait time Arc is quoting struck me funny :D
 
generally, flashaholics don't support MAG. Their policy of suing everyone in order to preserve their market share has made them unpopular.

Also I doubt a drop in will be built as well or give the performance of an ARC.
 
If the new AAA is 80% brighter than the old one, then it will melt a Solitaire, anyway. By the time you buy the Solitaire, drop in, pay shipping and handling, etc you'd be better off with the Arc, anyway. The Peak AAA with 3 LED's was as bright as the old Arc AAA, but I need to try out one of these new ones. Should be awesome!
 
Does anyone have any reviews out for these new Arc-AAAs? I'd like to see exactly how they compare to other lights.
