Surefire ARC1 & ARC2

Candle Power Forums

Help Support Candle Power:

As mentioned above though many seem to say it'll be out either on the 28th of this month or Q1 of this year... and since the 28th is in Q1 of the year I have some hopes that it may actually be true. I shall wait till the 28th and if there still ain't any news Polarion will have a new customer (:


The other thing to consider has been the absence of any pre-orders or waiting lists from dealers if the Arc is really just two or three weeks away. I've been on another list for 3 other Surefire LED's for almost a year now and they were all scheduled to be released last year. If this Arc does suddenly appear it will be the CPF surprise of '09.
 
You guys talk about Surefire ARC whatever, but I have never seen
anything like that on their website.
The highest Lm light they have is only 500!

So, what am I missing?

They are in the 2009 catalog, which is available in PDF format on SureFire's website.

I dont see any prices for these 2 models.

I have a feeling they are way out of my price range though :mecry:



The prices have not be disclosed yet. We were guessing about what they would cost in the posts above.
 
I also would not consider any of them to be EDC's. I know that's a broad terminology but if it can't fit comfortably in a person's pocket while at work or play, I don't consider it EDC. Every day pack carry, or vehicle carry are different categories imo.

each to their own i guess, i consider EDC to be Every Day Carry.....what i carry every day on my person. I carry a lot of stuff me every day, and i have no issues with it fitting in my pockets or in my 5.11 jacket (lots of pockets). A Pelican 7060 and 8060 to me are EDC lights. Everything smaller than that i consider backups and keychain lights (liek my TK11). My EDC knives range from a 5" hunter fixed blade to a BK7, and a Emerson super commander and A100.

all are with me every day so hence they are EDC. Throw in my Maxped Jumbo shoulder pack with a FAK, camera, tripod, food water and misc and i think i'm pretty well equipped.

If the ARC's actually become available, there is a perfect pocket for it in the 5.11 jacket....

I also did not expect SF to offer both lights at the same time but there may be something to the timing.
 
The latest news is that they may or may not be releasing this product to the public this year but if not this year, probably never. No, SF didn't specifically state that anywhere but it's just my swing at humor when pointing out that their marketing strategy seems a bit strange as of late. Many featured catalog products never make it to production and that's just the sad truth of it. I can't imagine this light being of higher priority than many of the long expected LED's lights which still aren't in production so my expectations are pretty low and probably always will be with SF. I only get excited about their products when they arrive at my door step. Hey, at least there are some other interesting developments going on with AE Light and Xevision electronics in the custom Mac body. Those are real and not just pics in a catalog somewhere. The build quality and beam shots of Mac's creation look amazing. I'm excited to see where it leads.
 
I'd sure like to see it introduced. The price is what will make or break the deal for me. Considering how fantastic Polarion products are, I'll likely not spend the extra for the ARC if is costs much more.
 
Just called SF...

No release date yet for the Arc 1 or 2.

She said maybe next year.
