frankenstein camo kit - $24.95

[Gransee]

Some of you may have remembered the LS grey kit. Well, now we are offering the Frankenstein camo kit (it just happens to be halloween). We have some extra parts and put them in a kit. each kit consists of:

1, camo battery pack
1, standard head (3lm, ha natural)
1, duracell
1, clip

together it makes a weird looking light (hence the "frankenstein" appearance) or you can use the parts seperately.

here's the order page - $24.95

We have about 100 of these left.

So what did you guys think of this?

If it had a snow or premium head I would probably pickup a couple. 3lm is a little low for my needs.

Me too.

for $5 more, you can get 5.5 lumens in a matching, HA-III coat light. Maybe for $20...

Looks like you have too much inventory of camo.

I seem to recall that there was quite a bit of interest in the camo for some time before ARC produced these this year. Rather than waiting a long time for a production run of camo DS's or Snows, this may be a pretty good way to achieve that now by switching out the bodies. The 3lm heads and non-camo bodies would still make great gifts.

When we anodize the parts for the Arc-AAA, the head and body are plated at the same time. During all the subsequent assembly steps, the heads are more likely to fail QC than the bodies. Over time, this causes us to have more bodies than heads in inventory. This is one of the extra costs of making a special anodize color.

We might be out of the 3lm heads, I'll check this coming week. If so, I'll upgrade the offer to 5.5lm.

I would look at the 5.5s for sure. My father-in-law saw the Arc AAA-P on my wife's keychain this week. He now has an Arc-AAA-P. I had to go into my secret stash of Arcs to replace hers. I need to replenish my supplies!

Or offer the 3.3lm heads cheap to modders... I would be interesting in modding one to a Nichia GS.

How much extra fro UV head?

 

[Donny Dont]

No longer a Frankenstein kit, I see. But still with the 3.3lm head.
I am still tempted but need some partners to go in on it for the shipping to Canada.

I love my ARC-C and the -UV.

if the head was upgraded to the -P (5lm) head I would also be interested,
I already own 2 of the camo units:thumbsup:

I've been looking for battery carriers and remembered this comment. It gave me the idea of making caps and selling the extra tubes as spare battery holders.

Hooking an AAA-P and a matching battery tube back to back with an (oval?) split-ring would be perfect some of the time. (I carry a Swiss Army Classic on my AAA-P now. A little more to grab, but still folds to fit in my pocket easily. It doesn't work well when I need a knife and a flashlight though. )
