Okay, me against you then! (just kidding, got lights coming out my ears and still waiting on others that haven't even arrived yet!)
But if you do get it I'd be interested in a light meter reading on its brightness...

Oh no I am poor, extremly poor, as in no income...my next purchase (which I have to *save* for) is an Arc AAA, I'm jsut starting out.
I thought it was funny at first though, Serious Bidders or Flashlight Enthusiasts, so if you're an enthusiast you don't have to have to be a serious bidder right?? Then I realized that most enthusiasts fit into that category in some way or another.
Did I mention I'm poor?

If all I had to go on was the spelling, I would think this might be Aragorn.
Otherwise I have no idea who is is.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the light output, and 'beam angle' of a 3MM Nichia LED, compared to the more commonly used 5MM Nichia 20 degree, 5600 mcds LEDs? What I'm getting at is if you were to 'convert' the output of 44 3MM Nichias, to the same output from 5mm Nichias, how many of them would be needed to equal the light output of the 44 smaller LED's?

Nah, it can`t be Aragorn. The guy in the auction uses capital letters too!

Yeah, but he's in scout camp or something anyway...

Gandalf, I'm sorry but I have absolutely no idea. I just buy'em and shine'em!

This looks like a similar mod I want to do on my Tandy Corp 5C torch!
I will be using cyan nichias bought from Paul Flannery (recommended by APW).
This torch when modded will probably n ever be sold although I may submit it to a CPF member with optometric equipment to measure its brightness!

I've been told by another well-informed CPFer the 5mm and 3mm nichias use the same dies. So, they're basically the same animals in different packages and maybe binned differently too. Since the 3mms use less epoxy (which means less to yellow and blot out light over time), the 3mms seem like a good idea in at least one way. nichia 3mms typically have a much wider beam angle. From the samples that I have, the 3mms have nearly identical actual drive characteristics as the 5mms (ie. same power going in = same amount of light coming out).
