Hi guys,
I received a request from BC0311 to take an Arc AA provided by him and do a mod with it. He suggested that I could sell it on a CPF auction and cover my costs and provide the balance to CPF. He also included a check to help defray material costs; it covered the BadBoy400 and part of the LED. I was going to do a mod with an ArcMania MC but after doing a mod with one of Larry's CR2 heads and since I did have another one, the plans were changed. I used one of the Larry Light CR2 heads, a BB400 (my first sandwich and I forgot the tomatoes), cut down Fraen LP optic, chopped and bored Arc AA battery tube and a Luxeon III SVOJ which behaves like a R2H at the low current. Here's the mod:
And an obligatory beam shot:
I only have a few bucks in this light in terms of parts. I don't like to sell my labor cheap so I'll throw it in for free. To make life easy on everyone here, 100% of the sale of this light goes to CPF. Those of you who bid on the light should consider that you are making a donation to CPF and as a bonus, getting the light. It is a one of a kind and there is no warranty. It's pretty cool and nice and bright. It should be used. Obviously this light is a product of a few members of CPF and it's only fitting that CPF gets to benefit from it.
I suggest the auction ends at 9:00 PM PST on this saturday. I think this was a great thing that BC0311 initiated and in a moment of weakness, I went along. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
