I am going to do a small run of 20pcs SF-III's in HA III black as I have enough parts left over from the SF-III run here: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/226279 In the earlier run, I had to make extras of mineral glass lenses, DC/DC converters, micro processor boards, o-rings, reflectors, LED's, tailcap switches and boots. The only part I am missing are the bodies. This run will not take as long as the original run. I've already spoke with my machinist and upon sending payment, I was told the lead time would be 6 weeks. So to be on the safe side, I am going to say 10 weeks for delivery.
Ever since titanium bezels were made in the earlier run, I've been asked by several members on the earlier list as well as members who completely missed out, to do a run with a titanium bezel included. These 20pcs (10pcs of each in the standard barrel and combat grip) will be the last of the SF-III series I will ever make. The name of the light will be milled into the bezel instead of the usual laser engraving and will be marked with "LE" as they will be a limited edition. The specs of the SF-III is the same as the earlier run. It will have the same 3 levels of light with memory. I would like to ask that payment be pre-paid. If the deadline of 10 weeks is not met, I will issue a full refund. The 10 weeks will start once the pre-payment is closed.
$560.00 will be the pre-pay price which includes: titanium scalloped bezel, carrying case and, express mail shipping. I will offer a choice on the LED as I have received several e-mails and PM's from members wanting an Ostar 15 watt LED as well as other LED's. I have posted the choices below. The 15 watt LED will be under-driven due to running only 2 x CR123's or RCR123's. Its not recommended to run an 18650. Please send your payment to: arcmania (at) hotmail (dot) com Make sure to include your complete shipping address and what you are paying for.
Here are the choices plus pricing:
Cool white Ostar SMT (PZ in brightness) = standard
Cool white 15 watt Ostar (QZ in brightness) = + $55.00
Cool white\warm white Cree MC-E (M in brightness or better) = standard
Infrared Ostar = + $120.00
Cool white Luminus SST-50 (WJ in brightness) = $75.00
I will put up more details soon and update some of the writing above as I am having a hard time functioning from sniffing too much lead from soldering earlier. No need to send payment as a gift. It will be nice to receive payment as a gift but will be up to you. Will post more on this later.
Here are pictures of the SF-III from the earlier run to give you an idea of what it looks like. You'll have to temporarily use your imagination to make out the SF-III in HA III black
