Sounds good Eric, they would fit in an AA even better right?

There is a little more space in the AA head but Arc uses the same circuit in the AA as they do in the AAA. Either way the Cree will require some modding itself but it shouldn't be a problem as near as I can tell.

I'm in for one too! Maybe an AA version as well if they become avail.

will it work with alkaline's or lithium's?

Primary lithiums and NIMH cells only. Alkaline's can be used but they will drop off fast. Low mode is great for pretty much any AAA battery.

I already have 3 Millermod aaa/AA 2-stage arc's

I guess a couple more won't hurt.

The AA two-stage is one of the top 3 lights I own! I cant wait to see how this one will perform!

I would love to have a 10 to 15 lumen AAA light that ran forever. 70 Lumens is not too shabby though. I would also prefer the light in a AA size for improved battery life.

This is so tempting...

Do you plan to offer it with differing drive levels for high?

It will have the same options as my other Arc mods in the 2 links below. Basically the Cree will just become another option for my existing Arc mod menu.

Re: Just ordered some Cree XR-E 7090's for Arc AAA mods

when do we place an order??
I would like at least one in AA. Maybe a aaa also.

So far I've managed to get these 2 bins on their way to me.

10qty- XR7090WT-U1-WG-P2-0-0001 67.2-73.9 Lumens @ 350mA
24qty- XR7090WT-U1-WC-P3-0-0001 73.9-80.6 Lumens @ 350mA

Not the highest bins, but still much better than any Luxeon.

This is so great - I can't wait to get my hands on one!!

I don't know why you'd want the highest bins with an AAA-powered light anyways... well, yes I do, but it's not as practical.

Thanks Eric!!!!

I'm down for a P3...

Put me in line for a P3!

Re: Just ordered some Cree XR-E 7090's for Arc AAA mods

Count me in for a two stage (50ma low)/ ("oh my god that's bright" high) for a AAA......where the heck did you get that light?.......flashlight!!!! I wanna be in the first batch of braggin rights! You want a pre-payment?

 

[coyote]

Re: Just ordered some Cree XR-E 7090's for Arc AAA mods

and i want a P3.

any idea about runtimes vs brightness with these new crees?

for example, if the P3 is designed to put out 73-80 lumens at 350mA, will it put that out with one of your 3/4-watt units? or would i need to get your 1.5-watter to get that much brightness???

You'd have to get the 1.25 watt version to get that brightness. Runtime down to 75% initial brightness is 30-45 minutes depending on the quality and capacity of the NIMH cell used.

Please count me in for a premium bin

Re: Just ordered some Cree XR-E 7090's for Arc AAA mods

eric, i see by your recent statement (and by reading the first post in you Arc AAA Custom 'light thread that you link in your signature line), that you are once again offering the 1.25 watt version.

now we have even more options!

in any case, i like the idea so much, i'd like to up my order to two P3 models (my brother wants one too). one will be a complete 1.25w with a 25 ohm low. the other will be on an old original arc body/head which i'll send you done in a 1.25w and 50 ohm low.

are you ready to accept paypal for these new Cree versions???
