McLux with ARC head

[sgtgeo]

would it be possible to make a 1x123 McLux body with the correct thread depth to use a ARC head on it?

Heck, anything is possible...

Easiest is to use a stock McLux body (so it will still be compatible with Surefire and McLux parts) and just add a 1/2" battery booster internally.

Check out McGizmo's site for pics of the various options.

I have an E1 HA that Don modified the shoulder and thread and provided a battery spacer to allow the use of one of my Arc LS.

FWIW, the 1x123 body works great with the Arc head if you use a single AA battery. I don't think 1xAA is enough to power the newer Arc heads, but it works fine with the Grey Kit, and it looks pretty sharp if you strip the HA off of the bezel.

sgtgeo,

It's posible and I have done it. The power pak needs to be shortened and then re threaded and a new O-ring groove cut.

I have also had my Arc LS on a Mclux pack.
If you can live with it being alittle longer than it needs to be, you can make a spacer to take up the needed space inside. If I recall, its about 1/4".

Heres a pic of a 2x123 Mclux Power Pack on a Arc LS, Arc Grey Kit, and the Mclux head.
****NOTE: There are NOT 2x123 batteries in the pack, there is one extended dummy cell. 2x123's will KILL and Arc LS.
But, this should give you an idea of how they look.



HERE are many more Mclux configurations that are possible.

Going another direction: is it feasible to put a McLux PR head on a Surefire E1e battery tail?

 

[McGizmo]

Paulr,

Yes:

Yes, as noted, you just need a spacer . . .
