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

[FsTop]

Like GregY, please make my order for 25ma, 1.25w, the best bin available when my name comes up.

Also, I had an Arc AAA body in my possession, but don't any longer, so I'll need a complete light.

Regards,
Rick

Today, my Q4's arrived and my Q5s will probably arrive within the next week.
Do I send my LED in now or do I wait until I'm contacted?

Please wait to send them when I contact you. Thanks

[CodeOfLight]

I also have a Q5 coming. PLease notify me when you are ready to build mine and I will ship it to you.

[Kraid]

I'd like to sign up for a two stage, 25mA/1.5W Q5 or whatever is best at the time of build. May I inquire as the the likely wait time?

Any progress made on these recently? Has the list been cut down at all?

Not yet, I know it has been forever but I still intend to do something about it very soon. In fact I plan to start this week. My wife had our first baby. His name is Elijah. We're finishing our house in Cincinnati and moving while I'm working in Columbus and driving to Lancaster to my parents house where we are currently staying. I'm almost finished with the house so I can put it on the market. My wife is no longer working, so for that reason I will be focusing a lot on the Arc/Cree project soon.

I was just playing with....... er..... I mean .. using my little AAA Miller Mod Cree tonight. If it's possible, I think I like this tiny beauty more now than when I first got it. The amount of light coming out this little tube is just amazing (really) ...... and the simple, no-nonsense, functionality of it makes me grin every time I pick up my keys.

BTW, this poor little light has not been pampered.... it's been banging around in my pocket, on my keyring, with change and knives and ball bearings (don't ask)... and all sorts of stuff.... dropped on concrete sidewalks to many times to count.... subjected to ponds, puddles and yes, the inevitable washing machine ...... and it still looks and performs like new. The only real maintenance I do is to use a cotton swab once a month or so to clean the lint off the reflector.

I just want you guys still on the list to know that what you are going to get is truly a special little light. Hang in there.

Thanks again, Eric, for producing such a fun little light..... oh..... and congratulations on the new addition to your family. Please do give our best wishes to your wife and son.

Congrats on the new baby! A happy, healthy family is the most important thing in the world!

[coyote]

welcome to our world Elijah!

looking forward to hearing from you eric about my new MM arcs on order. yahoo!

[MillerMods]

Just to keep everyone updated, I now have Q2 WD's and Q4 WH's.

[FlashInThePan]

Q4's - sweet!

MillerMods: I'd originally ordered a 1.5w version, intending to run it on rechargeables. However, with the brighter LEDs, I'd like to modify my order to a version that can run continuously on standard Alkalines. Can you please modify my order to whatever wattage this is (1.25w or 1.0w)? Thanks! (I'm still in for the Q4-WH, and the same low.)

Woo-hoo!

More importantly...

Congrats on the baby!

[xoltri]

I'd like to be on the list please. I need two identical lights.

50 low, 3/4 high, best available emitter, shipping to Canada. Thanks!

[THE_dAY]

congratulations on the new baby!!

i should be way down on the list so hopefully the cree xr-e R4's will be out when you get to me
for everyone else, here's a pic to help with the wait!

[UncleFester]

Eric

Stay Bright

[CodeOfLight]

I have my Q5 in hand, waiting for your message to send it.

[GregY]

Congratulations on the little one.

Like GregY, please make my order for 25ma, 1.25w, the best bin available when my name comes up.

I just noticed this, and wanted to point out that I'd like my light to be 25ma and 3/4W, which is not quite the same.

[marcdilnutt]

Hi Eric, how are we doing with these? Can you change mine to Q4 WH please? Any ideas of an ETA yet?
Marc

[THE_dAY]

Hi MillerMod's,

you had mentioned that you had some ideas to work out the heat issue (which ramped up brightness but reduced runtime).

has there been any progress towards this?

thanks!

[DarthLumen]

Hello Eric,

Congratulations on your new arrival!!! I definitely wish you and your wife all the best!!

Per your instructions via a recent PM:
Mark,

The low outputs are fairly regulated and are at about 80-90% of the original output near the end of the times stated. I currently have a rather long wait time for these however. I hope to get them all completed within the next several months. To get on the list just post your order on the thread and I will update it soon.

Thanks,
Eric


I would like to order two single mode Arc AAA's with 50mA drive. I believe it was mentioned that this is around 9 lumens. I don't know which reflector to use...please advise as to the differences. Oh, and what is the price?

Thank you in advance and congrats again!!!!

[frankr]

I also have a Q5 for mine when you are ready.
No rush, and congratulations!
Frank

welcome back.. and congrats!!!

my ARC AAA miller mod has been working perfect. specially requested the low current version on high.
it puts out so much light with first gen cree, don't understand why anyone would want to push the heat sinking envelop further.

[skalomax]

What's the typical wait time for a Arc aaa-p w/Q5?

thanks

Very popular and difficult question to answer, but I'd like to think less than 4-6 months is the lead time.

Hi - I'm sitting very near the TOP of the list - what would the lead time be from there??
Thanks,

[baylisstic]

I'm up there on the list too anxiously waiting for the green light to paypal.

Within the next month. I'm still finishing up my house in Cincy.

[marcdilnutt]

Hi Eric, good to hear you are alright, i hope the house is going well. I dont know if you noticed but i requested a change to the emitter for mine, can i please have the highest flux bin you have, preferably WC tint or similar. Also please note i would like 1.25W high level please, and the lowest low level available. Good luck with the house, its a real pain but it will be great when you get it finished.
