I've never understood this concept. Seems to me that the arc is the biggest flashlight you'll ever get your hands on... Are you really getting that much help from the added light you're using?
I've never tried it, and don't have the need to, so I'm not doubting you. I just don't see how the halogen could provide more light than an arc bright enough to
really ruin your evening.
