ARC LS modification Project IN CHROME!!!!!

[datiLED]

There isn't much to get excited about unless yaesumofo digs the Arc hosts out of his garage. The price will have a lot of bearing on whether the chrome hosts can generate interest, too.

Gold medal for longest running interest thread in CPF history. These could be awesome with some modern emitters in them. Does yaesu even visit anymore? Just pull em out, sell em, let people figure out what to do with them.

 

[yaesumofo]

Yes I am aware. DatiLED IS CORRECT. Buried in the garage. They are beautiful and ready. If there are people who want to build the lights up with modern emitters I think they would make very fine flashlights. I might be motivated not by profit I will never recoup the dough time gas energy... That's not the point. It may sound strange but maybe they have been waiting for an amazing emitter. Is there one?
It takes more than cool hosts.

Well you sure won't recoup any money hanging onto them, lol. What is your definition of an amazing emitter? I would consider some of the Nichia 219 offerings to be pretty great.

Cree XP-L Warm White ?

Osram Oslon High CRI ?

 

[datiLED]

I would like to build out a set with triple Nichia 219B (or c) LEDs driven by a GDuP H.O. converter board. Primary and RCR battery support, 3 levels and a high of 1.2A

The Osram Oslon LEDs will work, but I haven't tried the XP-L with a triple optic.

I have pretty much given up on trying to get a single emitter in the Arc. A low profile reflector is hard to find, and cutting down a McR20-S looks odd through the window.

Derek, that looks like a great idea!

Derek, I missed your UV LE's, but I don't want to miss this!

Wow, this is very interesting. What is the length of that twisty host?

 

[KuanR]

Great looking hosts. I remember reading this thread when I first joined CPF. If Derek could get some hosts and put in his triples, I would be very interested in one

 

[luxlunatic]

I have an Arc twisty that is polished aluminum running a DataLed trip XPG (IIRC) that is an awesome setup!
I remember this tread and since then wanted to add a chrome to the collection, and with a Data trip XPL, that would be sick!!!
