The land of the rising sun.
The Extreme III is a single AAA powered custom light utilizing cutting edge technology. The body is machined from T6061 aluminum, type III hard anodized in natural ( no mis-match ) combined with double side AR coated mineral glass lens, Custom orange peel aluminum reflector, hand selected Rebel LED for optimum brightness and, a micro processor controlled DC/DC converter with multi functions all packaed into a very small package.

The Extreme III is user programmable and the ultimate 1 x AAA powered custom light made in limited numbers.

Main features:

Unique 2 stage output twisting mechanism which does not require the user to cycle through all modes.
Turn Off Memory - the Extreme III will turn on in the last operating mode.
Programmble output for the 2 stage output and 2 stage SOS.
Programmable output and frequency for the 2 stage Strobe.
No flickering at ANY output level as the frequency of the PWM is set at 7800Hz.
Over discharge protection for Li-Ion & NIMH battery. (ON / OFF)
Indicates battery voltage level by number of blinks.
White diffuser for area lighting. (lantern head, container of lube and spare o-rings included.)

Specifications:

LED : Rebel LED bin number NW0D/NX0D or better.
Input voltage : 0.9V - 5.0V (AAA/10440)
AAA battery chemistry : Alkaline(1.5V), NIMH(1.2V), NICD(1.2), Primary Lithium(1.7V) & rechargeable Li-Ion 10440(4.2V)
Uses PWM at high frequency 7800Hz. No flickering from 0.2% to 100% output
AR Coated glass lens (Diameter 12mm, thickness 1mm)
HA III natural finish, no mis-match.
Single o ring seal at lens, LED module & battery tube.
3 positions twisting action for on/off and programming : off, P1, P2
Tighten for off. Reduce the chances of losing the complete head (bezel & LED module)
Lock out mode : loosen 2 turns
Stable tail stand even with small keyring, similar to the KIB flashlight.
Area lighting with white diffuser installed
water resistant

Size:
Length : 77mm
Diameter : 14mm (bezel)

Main functions:

FOUR (4) operating modes

1. Standard mode - 2 output level. default at 15% brightness & 50% brightness

2. User adjustable mode - default at 50%. Adjustable from 0.2% (8 seconds) to 100% (8 seconds)

3. Strobe mode - 2 stobes level. default 1 Hz at 50% brightness at 15.6 Hz at 100% brightness

4. SOS mode - 2 SOS brightness. default 6.5% & 50%. cycle repeats every 3 seconds

all of the above output and frequencies can be changed by the user via the programming function.

FIVE (5) Extra functions

1. Battery voltage indicator - works on Alkaline, NIMH & Lithium Ion battery

2. Programming function - User can define the output and frequencies of the 4 operating modes mentioned above

3. Demo function - Will display all available brightness and frequencies of the four operating modes. Demo runs for a few minutes and revert back to previous operating mode

4. Overdischarge protection for rechargeable batteries - works on NIMH & Lithium Ion battery (4.2V, 10440)

5. Factory reset - Restore EEPROM back to factory default settings for all operating modes & extra functions

The Extreme III has a unique design in its software code. It will remember the last operating mode when the light is turned off. the next time the user turns on the light, it will turn on in the last operating mode (i.e. previous mode).

for example, if you use your Extreme III mainly as strobe light or SOS, you do not need to go through the process of selecting strobe or SOS again everytime you turn it on.

The price of the Extreme III is $145.00 which includes Paypal fees and shipping via express mail (EMS) to anywhere in the world. The Extreme III is in stock and will ship immediatelly. I can only accept Paypal for payment. When sending payment, make sure to include your full name, CPF NAME, complete shipping address and what you are paying for. Please send your payment to: ************ I will be donating $5.00 to CPF for every Extreme III sold here. Thank you.

Re: FS:Extreme III custom 1 x AAA light.

What a beautiful light! Do you have any information on the runtimes for it and the output on NiMH, Lithium (E2) or Alkaline?

Goatee, questions, QUESTIONS!!! :whoopin: You will find out when you get one. :nana:

BTW, you need to send ArcMania an Email with a mailing address. :poke: So he can mail your already paid for Extreme III custom 1 x AAA light. :grin2: Thank you for the Draco ticket my friend! ;)

Kenster strikes again :thumbsup: ANOTHER awesome gesture :twothumbs

Re: FS:Extreme III custom 1 x AAA light.

Kenster,

Thank you so very much; you are the rarest of dudes when it comes to your generousity coupled with your enthusiasm!

I am so very grateful to you for this gesture; the Extreme III is a beautiful light and I was milling over the decision this morning of whether or not to buy it... well, you have made the decision very, very, very easy:p

The appeal of this light to me is the promise of the highest quality, highest grade multifunction AAA light available. This morning, I was looking at the pictures of the bezel and the thickness of the aluminum around the window and at the tail of the light and it pushed my buttons... not to mention that I have a couple of 10440's that just don't get used any more:)

Thank you again, so much!
 
Re: FS:Extreme III custom 1 x AAA light.

Is there more than one of these?

Re: FS:Extreme III custom 1 x AAA light.

I am hoping [just sent a paypal....] that he has small batch made.

If it was a one of a kind, it was a steal for that price!

Not a one of a kind. :) From the first post.....

It does state limited so how many??? :shrug:
 
Re: FS:Extreme III custom 1 x AAA light.

I can not resist any more.:paypal:
I got Mike's Maxlite 2, and build quality and finish is top notch.
I am sure will not be disappointed in Extreme 3.
Thanks.:goodjob:
 
Re: FS:Extreme III custom 1 x AAA light.

What do you mean user programmable? Is source code available so that users can compltely reprogram the firmware with a new ui of their own design?

I dont think so...i bet its basically this 3 points in the description:



Programmable output for the 2 stage output and 2 stage SOS.
Programmable output and frequency for the 2 stage Strobe.

2. Programming function - User can define the output and frequencies of the 4 operating modes mentioned above
 
Re: FS:Extreme III custom 1 x AAA light.

Really sweet flashlight.


Nice job, ArcMania, as always. :thumbsup:


Wish i could afford one. :broke:

Re: FS:Extreme III custom 1 x AAA light.

I think if you want an idea of the basic feature set and interface, read up on the Liteflux LF2, it looks like the same light engine/program chip. Same features, should be somewaht similar runtime characteristics (somewhat only since the LED is different).

The rest, it totally different, looks beautiful. Very well made.

Kenster... Wow!

:crazy:
 
Re: FS:Extreme III custom 1 x AAA light.

Ordered mine at the end of last year. Can't wait for it to arrive!

Also... Kenster... Wow. Tough not to get a bit emotional over your random acts of flashlight kindness.

I am curious if this is true? Does this share the LiteFlux UI (which I find beyond my comprehension)?

Mike worked with the manufacturer of the LiteFlux to produce this light. The LE is similar, and UI shared, but Mike has improved the efficiency of the converter for increased runtime. The switching mechanism is the same, but Mike assembled these lights himself with the sourced components.

So there are many obvious similarities including the UI, and many improvements like the redesigned HA body and Rebel, but the converter improvements are not so obvious.
