Thank you for the link to MEC i followed it on to the manufacture site: http://intelightsport.com/ew.asp good and interesting information... check out the Intelight Visibility Tests which also compares the IS to the ARC firefly... i appreciate the Lithium suggestion. john Sta Rosa, CA Rcgibbert_at_aol.com wrote: In a message dated 12/20/2006 1:58:38 PM Pacific Standard Time, mikedaly_at_magma.ca writes: Someone asked offline about the Arc Firefly - a strobe and, in one model, also a flashlight. 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: . 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.
