Eric,
If I send you a empty Arc AA head, how much would it cost to have it modded with your 1.25 watt driver? Since I have a spare AA (not AAA) empty head I might as well use it.

LoL! You down with OP3.

P3 is the higher flux bin for the Cree LEDs. 73 to 80 Lumens at 350mA.

Count me in for a P3 in my long put off 1.5W brass AA mod. I will also be after a AAA with the lowest possible low setting and 1.25W high please.

350 milliamps from an ARC AAA form with two stages and CREE XR-E looks to be a winner!

will this support AAA li-ion and NMH?

Li-ion cells are not suitable with my driver but with the drive level you can get with a NIMH cell, there really isn't any advantage anyways. Eneloop cells are the answer to the self-discharge problems usually associated with NIMH cells.

Eric: pls make mine from my earlier post a P3 as well, when you get to them.

How long are you thinking, from now until actual product in ppl's hands? This is more of an experimental project, no?

Finally, maybe my dim AA can really be EDC'ed. Looking forward to a P3.

Hoping to find out tonight if I can get them to work in my Arc mods. I'll keep you posted.

I have my fingers crossed Eric, keep us posted! I will order up the parts for my mod from Peak as soon as you can confirm that this will work. Good luck!

Eric - any thoughts about using 4 of these Cree's in your Quad-lux build?
