    Need help IDing this LED and its capabilities

    Thanks, what points you to those instead of say Luxeon/LumiLEDs? The "TP" writing on the LED board is throwing me off, I can't find one with those letters anywhere. Would a large LED like that be capable of 10W? The problem with the majority of these cheap LED bulbs is that they are overdriven...

    Need help IDing this LED and its capabilities

    I know this isn't a flashlight, but the large COB LED installed in this thing intrigues me. Anyone know the ID of the thing is? It's much larger than a Cree XP-G or even XM-L. The Cree XM-L in a similar housing to get a size reference: Rated at 10W! I'm specifically wondering if it can put...

    Noooo!!!! Lost my beloved Arc6! Can't seem to recover...

    Hoping to find it as well, but it's not likely to happen after I've ransacked my apt, work space and car three times by now. I'm not really committed to HDS right now (since the lack of turn on to low, crappy clip, larger, and no tritum are big tun offs), but thank you for the offer.

    Noooo!!!! Lost my beloved Arc6! Can't seem to recover...

    Thanks guys. Been looking for potential replacements but nothing really jumps out at me. The compact size (<3"!) and tritium in the back are still unmatched in today's CR123 flashlights... Ugh. I want a HDS, but it doesn't have all the features the Arc6 had, plus it has a long wait... Can't...

    Noooo!!!! Lost my beloved Arc6! Can't seem to recover...

    It's a very sad month. Can't seem to locate my EDC light. Some of you guys may have followed me on my thread here while I was modding it: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?336795-Arc6-Upgrades-Mods-Thread!-Post-your-thoughts-and-mods-here!&highlight=arc6 But alas I've lost...

    Taking a break from CPF.

    frystormer, I'd just like to thank you for all your informative contributions to CPF. You definitely helped me (and a lot of others) out. Still carrying my modified Arc6 around. BTW, love your setup (the big light is a Jetbeam TCR2 with a custom bezel, there's also a Ti Aeon and McGizmo...

    What's the best EDC flashlight in 2012 and why?

    Funny that there's a lot of people that like the RRT-01/TCR1. Actually, I find it funny that I didn't like it as much as my Arc6. I bought the TCR1 (Ti version of the RRT-01) seeing how virtually everyone liked it, but I just could not get used to the UI. The "virtual" PD System works best...

    INFORMAL SURVEY: What do you think about lights that aren't BLACK??

    Well, titanium comes to mind. Everyone likes Ti. Copper is good too.

    Source for Non-Standard O-Rings?

    +1 to theoringstore. GREAT service and very honest people. When I messed up my order for o-rings (was getting like 10 different sizes), I emailed them to swap some of the erroneous o-rings out with the correct ones. Instead, they included all of the o-rings (just in case I guess) and still...

    Why do you mod your lights?

    Everyone's taste is different. You can spend $400 making a light that's infinitely variable, made out of titanium, has tritium slots of your choice, has a bezel of your choice, has as higher output, clicky of your choice, and LED of your choice. Or you can have a titanium light that comes...

    How many of you guys want a Cree XM-L 4500K HCRI?

    Everyone I presume. Seems like it's taking forever for Cree to put out something new. When (if ever) do you guys think we will see one?

    Shallow, Floody XML Reflector?

    just beware that optics are designed around specific LEDs. The Carclo 10003 for example is for XM-L (and supposedly XP-G). They cannot be used (even somewhat) effectively for other LEDs unlike reflectors. Also, the optics come with a "tab" that sticks out one side that allows it to say on the...
