The main difference is the significantly shorter design, which now indeed completely disappears in a closed fist, but is thus even more inconspicuous and more comfortable to wear on your belt.
After the complete Lamp Head for 1A is identical - hence the LED - arises when operating with a 16340 battery - also known as RCR123 - the same voltage of 3.7V and capacity of 800 mAh as a 14500 a absolutely identical brightness and light-emitting characteristics.
The specified brightness gain compared to the 1A is because of this can be seen to operate with NiMH batteries.
A disadvantage of this lamp compared to the 1A is, that there is no cheap batteries of Mignon class can be used, but only CR123 or identical batteries such as 16340th
However, anyone who uses such batteries anyway, for this is an even more compact lamp photon cannon.
With CR123 batteries I would this lamp does not operate, however, as they are simply too expensive in the long run.
The rest is the same as for 1A and therefore just perfect.
I bought the 1C in addition to 1A because I am a fetishist flashlights. A specific and concrete difference in the area of application between the two lamps are not really.
Short Addendum to use ...
Due to the shorter construction, the Archer 1C can also use super good and yet discreet than 1A as a bicycle lamp.
If necessary, the shaft must be something wrapped with Gaffa tape, which takes you on a most bicycle-holder fixed diameter.
