I've looked at this one and Like the idea but have no experience with it. I've also seen another product that looks interesting but for the price: <http://www.tiny.cc/MEC836>. With LEDs, long battery life, strobe and SOS functions, it might be worth a consideration. No experience. One thing I do with my strobe is use lithium AA batteries, not alkaline. This to improve low temperature performance and shelf life. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Good info on the lithium, Mike. I'd not thought of that. I have no exp with the Arc's either. Just the Princeton Tech, wherein I've replaced 2 in the last 5 years from hydration issues. Just be sure to test it out regularly as when they go, you won't notice it until you turn it around.
