How long will it run? I really don't think I have the patience for this.

Probably until December 2009 when the battery expires /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif
 
Heyyyyyy.....gives me an idea....hey there CNCDan, do you think there might be a market for a AAA to D mod? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Hmmmmm ... Done properly a battery carrier to hold one C or D battery and an Arc AAA head would actually be a good emergency light with a REALLY long run time - something just short of the heat death of the universe ...

The Arc AAA actually puts out a really good and useful amount of light, and for long term emergency use, a single D sized lamp is not at all "too big" to be a good unit.

If someone comes up with such a holder (waterproof, etc., of course) I very likely would spring for one if the cost were reasonable.

i believe cnc dan did this awhile ago...it sure turned out nice!!
 
This is actually a very good setup to keep in mind in case you end up in a survival situation. With something like a coathanger, and whatever battery you can find, you could have basic light for quite a long time.

Nice one!!
 
a Super D should be made with several available heads, i have a Arc AAA and LE, 2 heads could fit easy on top of a D cell.
 
It was me who did the single C an D cell bodies for the LS. I have just completed a single C cell holder for the AAA, but the darn anodizers didn't mask the threads right, and now the threads need to be stripped. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Here's the newest one:

Well I wonder how Dan's AAAA bodies are doing. I'd buy one but I'm plum broke /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif that's ok I have a buyer lined up for my soul...
 
Email me with your wants (or needs ...:) )and I'll see what I can do. Mods are what I do, after all... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Either that or _any_ wire and some clear adhesive tape.
