Colored ARC AAA Lens

[Blue72]

I saw this tip on the web for the Arc Flashlight

Does anyone have access to these or where we can buy them, especially a red one?

Here is the tip

".......I did find out one 'trick' with it....for those of you that had access to 'blood tubes'...the kind hospitals or labs use to draw blood.....take one of the smaller tubes (green top, blue top or purple top) and take the top off the tube. Push out the rubber stopper (that is inside the plastic top). Place a colored (your choice) piece of plastic inside the tube's plastic top. The plastic top from the blood tube will fit snugly over the front of the ARC. With the colored plastic in place, you now have a colored light too. It works great......."

Thanks for the tip!

I am still holding out for a red Arc AAA available to the masses.

I've used those blood tube (Vacutainer) tops exactly as described, too. Works great. Another way to get a nice red or orange glow is to use those plug protectors that you find on the plugs of new lamps. Some a more flexible than others and really grip the light.
