The Arc LS is one of my favorite lights, and I have always enjoyed keeping them up to date with modern LEDs. I have recently received several requests for a higher power mod on the Arc LS, and decided to make a triple LED drop-in to upgrade the empty hosts that both myself and others have collected over the years. Here are a few pictures of the module that I had machined, and the clean build of the final drop-in.
The stages of the module build, with an Arc LS and empty LS3 host.
The bare machined can for the drop-in module. The hole is for the screw which secures the ground wire to the inside of the module.
The can with the LED board and driver installed. This module is using XP-G2 LEDs and a 3-level AMC7315 regulator board.
The module with the Carlco narrow optic installed. The optic needs to have the diameter reduced from 20mm to about 19mm in order to fit into the head of the Arc without binding. This module is using XP-G2 LEDs and a 3-level AMC7315 regulator board.
The business end of the completed Arc LS triple. This module used Nichia 219 LEDs and a 3-level AMC7315 regulator board.
Thanks for looking at my build.
