Firehouse ARC V Strobe Review

[Thomas B]

Anyone know what the viewing angle of the ARC V is? I know it will be brightest from straight on but would still like to know the maximum viewable angle.

3.5 miles per package insert and Firehouse website. I can’t see it that far during the bright AZ days. At dusk I can see the strobes about a mile.

I was asking for viewing angle not miles of visibility. But thanks for the quick response.

160 degrees... of course brightest/longest straight on (0 degrees)

Perfect! Just what I needed to know.

The Arc V seem to be a bit brighter when viewed at 90 degrees. You can still see the Arc XL's at an angle but the V's have a dome that stands out compared to the XL's. Not sure how well it works in daylight but at night or up close you can see the difference.

the XL's I've been using for the last few months Showbox jiofi.local.html tplinklogin are working very well as far as battery run time and holding a charge.

This literature came with my Arc V's.

Will just ONE strobe attached to an arm affect the balance (COG) noticeable on the MA2

Hello I am wondering if the weight (although only around 10 grams) of a SINGLE strobe mounted an arm affect the balance (COG) of the MA2 noticeably? I realise that the speed of each prop would change to counteract this but I am just wondering. OR would I be better off having two strobes the same...

Great info! This is the kind of data I was wanting but not expecting this much detail. Thank you, thank you, thank you as Gomer used to say.
