Candle Power Forums Should Have An Official Flashlight

[SPECIALIST]

We should take a vote on the official candlepowerforums flashlight, then with enough people wanting to order one, we could get the flashlight custom with a logo on it. I think companies like mag lite, surefire, and pelican would do this with enough orders for a reasonable price.

My vote is for the Arc-LS, with either the CR-123 or two-AA body.

$0.02

I think it should be the AAA Arc for it`s practical use, high quality and more affordable price. Well, and for the sake of a good argument.

The arc-LS loooks like such a great light (not long now...thanks Brock

) but cos it`s a pricey little light too, I`ll add my vote to the Arc-AAA. Perhaps a custom special in <font color="000080">Candlepower Forums Blue</font> hard-anodised finish with "Candlepower Forums Member no.(insert member no. here)" etched round the neck?

Might not be cheap, especially with the premium Nichia S-rank LED in the purest whitest colour tint they make

, but just think how collectible it`s going to be in the future!


Oh there I go again.....daydreaming!

 

[Brock]

I vote for the Arc AAA

 

[Go Go Gadget Flashlight]

Seeing as how CPF members were so involved in the feedback for its design, I'd have to say the Arc-AAA should be (already is kind of) the official flashlight.

May actually have to have an official LED flashlight AND an official filament Flashlight.

I wanted a light-up flashing badge originally, but a Photon would be small enough to wear like that, and they can be produced with a stick-on logo thingy.

But if a special edition ARC AAA was produced, could it incorporate a pen-clip, even if only a Mag-Lite 2AAA type, so that it would be an everyday easy-carry torch ? Gransee ??

And of course, in Silver, to save on anodising costs ...... But Chris's blue HA sounds good, unusual.

One important thing, whatever the item chosen, the "standard" lights seem to be the Photon and the E2 or Mag-Lite 3D. So p-p-please let's have *whatever* as an everyday carry light, with an output that can be used as a reference point.

And a white, even beam.

Ok, I'll cow to the majority, but only because it was us who helped design the Arc-AAA to begin with. It is (or should be) the Candlepower Forums official mascot.

 

[Spork]

Ill buy another arc aaa if its unique to candlepower forums.

 

[Spidey82]

if the price isn't too hight i wan an arc AAA too.
been wanting it for a long time.
the additionally pen clip like the micro-mag sounds nice but i could make do without it.

[Spidey82]

How abt a pen with an led on the top??
using AAA or LR44?
might be a little more usefully since there is a pen.

there isn't a problem for a guy to carry a pen rite??

How about a two cell AAA Arc with a built in pen and clip

I'll second this, in whatever color (hard-anodised, please), even without the actual member number etched. That amount of customization might be too difficult, or too expensive (although seeing "Member # 116" emblazoned on this light would be really gratifying to my ego).

Member numbers - now that's a neat idea.
A flashlight you would never want to lose though... might be hard to get a #11 again.
:-O

 

[Glow Bug]

I like Arc aaa in blue with a clip and engraved number.

 

[Gransee]

Well if the consensus is for a version of the Arc-AAA, I am happy to help in any way I can.

To keep things simple and the cost down, I would prefer that you choose one case and LED color for the CPF version. This might start some debate though and some might be unhappy with the choice of the majority.

We can laser inscribe member numbers on the finish and there is room for about 30 characters. For example, it could say, "CPF edition, member ###".

I don't recomend redesigning the whole light- this tends to get expensive.

Count me in for a CPF ArcAAA. I would prefer a white LED, but would buy one whatever the LED color. How can you go wrong with a CPF Arc flashlight?!?

 

[Brock]

I would also go far an Arc with the CPF member #'s on them

I would also suggest the LE version or at least anodized and the S ranked LED's, preferably in white.

 

[sunspot]

Count me in. I like the idea of a CPF ARC. I agree with Brock. Any color anodize, S ranked led.
......dana....

 

[mikep]

Count me in- ARC AAA with a white LED i would get for sure, anodized and high rank LED would be nice
