Sign-up thread for the MillerMods high power Arc AAA Cree XR-E mod

[MillerMods]

So what is the status of beginning P4 builds? 2 weeks? 4 weeks? not rushing, just curious.
thanks

Hopefully by mid January or sooner.

[Thujone]

Hopefully the Q3's will materialize sometime in Q1 *finger crossed*

[mcmc]

MillerMods, if we go with say a P4 now, and then Q3's become available say in June, would it be possible for us to send the Cree AAA back to you for an LED replacement?

[9volt]

wouldn't it be cheaper to sell the P4 and order a new Q3?

Sorry, I won't be able to do that.

Yes, I'm charging less for the P4 ($125 for a complete light.)

Hello -

When is the end date for this sign up? Or will this be a regular modification that is available through Miller? The bottom-line is I’m trying to still figure out the details of what I need. (Q3, high/low output levels, etc. compared to estimated runtimes)

- Thanks

[mcmc]

jim, probably, you're right, esp. since it sounds like Q3's will not be available for a while yet.

I'll be making these for a long time. That is, as long as they keep selling. Expect through the next year easily.

Updated.

[russtang]

Erick

change mine from Q3 to P4 please.

25ma low, 1watt high complete light

I may order another when the Q3 become avail.

Have you determined if the cree will work with the AA head??

If not, what about the seoul p4 in the AA head?

thanks

Trying this beamshot post again and hopefully this time others other than myself can see the beamshots.

my Aluminum Bronze CR2 Ion modded by 4Sevens. It now has a P4 bin WH tint XRE emitter installed.

I took beamshots of the Ion and my two MM Arc's.
For both pictures:
The camera's white balance was set to Fluorescent.
On the left is a MM Arc with a Lux I RV1H running at 60ma low, 3/4 watt high.
In the middle is a CR2 Ion with P4 bin WH tint XRE running at (30ma?) low and (350ma?) high.
On the right is a MM Arc with a Lux III TW0H running at 50ma low, 3/4 watt high.

Comparing with all on their respective high settings:


Comparing with all on their respective low settings:


I find the XRE WH's tint to fall between the TW0H and the RV1H with a very slight greenish cast to the beam which I only noticed when I took the comparison beamshots. On its own I would call it a creamy white on high and definite yellow cast on low.

Cool, thanks for the shots!
So it looks like the Ion is about 2x as bright?

Can't wait to see how bright the Cree MM Arc will end up!

[coyote]

excellent shots bmw. thnx!

[Knighthood]

On the 25mA option is it brighter than Fenix E0 and whiter ?

Is the ARC CREE light white color no matter the power levels chosen ?

Thanks

I haven't used the E0 so I can't say for sure. My guess is that the E0 may appear brighter in the center, just as the stock Arc would, but the total light being produced may be a different story.

The tint shift appears to be very little with the WC binned Cree.

[Pumaman]

switch me to WC bin only-P4 or better.
thanks

PM sent....P4 50 , 1.50

[frankr]

I can not resist any longer. (1) 50, 1.25, Q3

[mudman cj]

Eric, please remove me from the list. I have purchased one for sale by Erasmus because I couldn't wait.

Duplicate post.

When you get it, let us know what you think.

[Erasmus]

When you get it, let us know what you think.

Well I quickly dropped in a battery to see if it works and all I can say is WOW! It is at least as bright as my UX1J LuxIII @ 700 mA Fenix L2P mod.

[proFeign]

I gotta come up with the cash for this. I've always wanted a AAA or smaller light with a high setting that's good for 10-15 min that just blows everything else away, and nobody made one until this one that I've ever seen that fits that desc. I'm searching for money now.

Nice work! And good knowing the customers! Huzzah!

[carlsjrman]

can't resist any longer, please sign me up for one with 25 low, 1.25 high and p4 bin. thanks!

[Knighthood]

What is the runtime like to 50% for both the high and low modes please ?

Thanks !!

This is my L0P mod runtime charts that chevrofreak did. The low is the 25mA setting, the medium is 75mA, and the high is about 470mA (1.5 watts). The high of the L0P will perform better than the Arc with the same setting for continuous runs because the inductor is a little larger and therefore is a little more efficient. However the 1 watt setting will be close to the same performance as a 1 watt MM L0P.

Hello

Please sign me up for a two stage 50ma, 1.25w, P4 or Q3,depends of avaibility.

Thanks,
