Thank you Peter for your explanation of the current ARC LS design - guess with the new regulation and the new HD 1W LS in the future I just will have to get new heads then - talk about addiction - did you got your license from the DEA on these LEDs ?

Here´s the email I sent to the MSN address

Dear Peter,

sorry to bug but the question came up lately if by chance you have some of those collimator holders available as spares - I´m talking about those black plastic parts holding the collimator optics on top of the LS and which you remove from the LS w/O to have them fit into your LSs - not shure if you are using the original LS w/O to use in the ARC LS so you would have those holders or if you are using the Stars or emitters only. I kind of remember in one of the very old ARC threads on CPF that you talked about how you were removing those holders so I thought you might have some and I just ask.

TIA

OK, it sounds like you are looking for the black collars found on the LS w/optics. Yes, we used to pull these off the board to get to the emitter but we now buy the emitter only. The black collars where all thrown away from what I understand since we had no use for them.

Klaus,

You wouldn't be getting some 5 watters would you?

So here's what ol' Darell is thinking. And yes I do realize that more often than not, nobody really cares what ol' Darell is thinking. But here's what he's thinking anyway:

Since there hasn't been a whole lot of Arc LS breakthrough news in a bit, and this thread is just kind of sputtering along, maybe Peter would like to start up a shiny NEW thread that is somewhat less than 37(!) pages. This thing is starting to take quite a while to load, and because of that (though I can't figure out why) it seems that maybe it sucks up a bunch more bandwidth than it should? This thread started back in Feb, and I think it is high time for the New Arc-LS thread. When threads get this long, you just can't find anything in them anymore. Maybe we could have Quarterly threads. Yeah, that's it. "LS Q3 02" Has a nice ring to it.

Anyway. That's what ol' Darell is thinking tonight after a fine BBQ and maybe an adult beverage or two.

 

[Saaby]

Maybe ol' Darell shouldn't post after his adult drinks...not any blantant typos though

ANYWAY I agree and here's why, I know suprisingly little about the Arc LS because the 37 page thread scared me off!

 

[Darell]

Wow. Scaring new members off?! That's something that I hadn't even considered. Now my crazy idea almost sounds like a good idea. Thanks Ryan.

LS does *not* stand for Light Saber.

 

[Carpe Diem]

Ah, yes...

Partaking of the healing waters. Life is good.

I also vote for a fresh start on this thread, but maybe with a reminder in the new thread that the holders of beta units can trade in for the newer LS`s if they so desire.

So Darell...what`s your beverage of choice?

oh yeah, that'll get the new thread started right on topic

but I don't get it, how could a few sips of Ensure cause one to make typoes?

 

[Carpe Diem]

Ted ...you can be rest "ensured" that Darell and I will always stay on topic.

It`s just that we seem to always have so many topics....

 

[Saaby]

Look at the 40 reply pages!! Shrunk this thing right down, but it's still too long...

 

[Darell]

Yikes. Well, there were probably about 20 or so pages of useless rambling anyway

Yeah, I like it better, but we still need a new thread. I think we've milked this one for all we can.

This young 'un is heading off for some white water adventure today, so I'll check back in when it gets dark...

 

[Saaby]

So, uhhh, who posted and deleted?

 

[Roy]

I did!
Was trying to figure out how to quote something and didn't get the expected result.

 

[Cutter]

I caught that too Saaby. Does this thread just keep going and going or does it eventually start over in a new one?

Dan out

 

[Saaby]

It starts over...somone want to close this??

 

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Guys, I received my LS for Christmas as my first LED flashlight. My first thing to do was to have a little "competition" with my colleague who has an Inova X5 and quite unexpectedly he easily won, although that light is quite blue. Am I doing something wrong? I run the LS on 2 alkaline AAs, can it be that much different with the 123?

Please advise, because I am posting it from the other end of the world. My brother goes back to the US on Tuesday if the conclusion is that it has to be replaced I have to know it by then.

Thanks in advance

Hopefully somebody can give the poor guy a reason because I don't know. All my LS lights including my two Arc LS lights handily beat both my Inova X5's in brightness, by a wide margin.

 

[Saaby]

Rochelle...you probably would get better response if you started a new thread. Normally you'd do this by clicking "New Topic" up at the very top of this page. This time, however, I've started one for you...here

Not a problem or anything...just so you know.

As for this thread...I'm going to close it down for several reasons, one being that it's 14 pages--another being that Peter now starts new LS threads every couple weeks.
