* Arc-AAA Special/Limited

[Gransee]

The order system for the CPF member edition is up now.

Here's the link.

There are only 110 units available. We won't get these in again for awhile.

The price is 34.95 and custom engraving is $5 extra (yes, the price was raised on the engraving). Like the LE, the battery compartment has two rings of text. The top has the CPF/custom text and the bottom ring has the Arc Flashlight, etc text.

Please allow 1 week + shipping for the standard text and 3 weeks + shipping for the custom engraved version.

The color of the finish is HA dark blue (I posted pictures in the 2002 thread). The LED is the limited availability B1S white rated at 6800mcd minimum. The B1S has a less blue and more green tint which produces a more white light.

These have the version 3.0 improvements.

Btw, here's the picture of one of the brass Arc-AAAs. The keyloop is unfinished in the picture (it will be a standard key loop). These are slated to have BS2s placed in them when we have a spare moment. We still have no plans to sell them.

One thing I noticed right away when handling them was how heavy they are. Also, they scratch easier than the HA finish.

Yippie, Yippie, Yippie!

I placed my order a few minutes ago. Now, how do I go about knowing that I made it in the group?

Just saw the photo of the brass AAA.

So what if it's heavier. It's not going on the keychain anyway. For me, it's a presentation piece to be displayed with the CPF light. LE is on the keychain.

These things would sell like popsicles during a Mesa heatwave.

Bring it on!!!!!

 

[Gransee]

Hmm. Had no idea so many wanted brass...

Btw, the CPF edition comes in two versions, with custom engraving or with standard engraving.

The standard engraving is "CPF Member Edition". This is selected by default on the order page.

I just ordered the CPF edition! Would Martha say that's a good thing?

Hey Peter, how many people have ordered the CPF edition as this time?

Needed to post to see what my member number is. About to order the CPF Arc.

Ordered mine! Here is a link to a picture of the CPF edition for those who have not seen it yet. The engraving to be added will especially set this illumination tool off.

Yay! I got me a CPF edition too. ANd hopefully, an EV turquoise mainly cos I use my current v2.0 turquoise the most in the house, and a brighter one would be great! Plus I have yet to see the new V3.0 Arcs.

Peter, were you sending out V3.0s to the reviewrs, can`t remember

BTW that brass AAA is mighty pretty looking! I think I`ll have to join the small but growing band of Brass fans and say- release`em in Brass for a very limited run. Maybe even gold plate it. (That`d keep ole Ken B happy!). Leave the design like that too, that rounded tail looks good- and like Jeff said, it`s really a presentation piece.
And anyway- you should see the state of my poor V2.0 white one I carry daily- Brass would wear down so fast, attached to my keychain!

I've been looking forward to the CPF special edition.

I have sent an e-mail to Arc to ask for one to be reserved, since I seem to be having problems with the ordering system. (Personal problems ...... )

One thing, I'll ask for it to be delivered to a USA address, and forwarded.

EDIT - International shipping to the UK is $12.50, not unreasonable.

 

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Couldn't resist the build up has had me totally hooked -have gone for the personal inscription, and being in the UK it could be a month before my sweaty palms can truly tingle!

Ah well good things come to those who wait (or so its said)
thx peter

 

[rigormootis]

I have a question: Copuld I request a special engraving for an Arc-LE??? I just ordered one of the CPF ones, but I really like the 'natural' color of the LE...

 

[One001]

Peter, is there room for custom engraving on the Turquoise EV which I just ordered along with the CPF edition. If there is no space along the top, how about along the band on the bottom above the lanyard hole? If so you can add $5. to my order and I can email you the text I want there.

So how are we going to know if we're one of the lucky ones who get a CPF edition in the next 10 days? Other than, of course, waiting by the mailbox or chasing down every UPS truck that we see in the neighborhood for the next 10 days.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I presume they'll turn off the order function when they're sold out. I'm supprised Peter didn't tell us the 1st order # when he told how many he had to sell. TX

I placed my order for the light OK but when I try to order the custom text, a second shipping charge is automatically added on.
Should I go ahead and try to get a credit later on?

Hmmm...(strokes chin to make me look more knowledgeable, even though I actually just look fat and dopey)

Do you do this:

"Add to cart" the CPF edition light- then on that confirmation page thingy, click "Keep Shopping" not checkout. Then when it plonks you back on the CPF ordering page, click "add to cart" for the $5 custom engraving where it will now take you to a page showing both cpf edition line, and the ingraving line?
If not, you should do. Click "checkout" now, you should only get charged for one lot of shipping.

And if you want to order other Arc lights at the same time, after adding the engraving, push "continue shopping" again, to go elsewhere on the Arc site and order other stuff.

 

[JohnG]

Wish I'd thought of that..........
Too late now, I'm afraid. The plus side is that I have the distinction of having the most expensive CPF light shipped domestically.

Did you put: "Darell, the EV Nut"? - that would fit.

I toiled long and hard on just what pithy 30 characters to use... and came up with my membership number and name. Whoo hoo!

Told you I was a flashlight dork (but by day I'm still an EV nut).
