Screw it, switch me to a P4 lol...at this point the Q3 really just isnt worth the extra expense for the increase in output that wont be noticeable unless wallhunting against its p4 brother.

I agree that the Q3 won't be a huge difference. Noticeable, but not huge.

I'm gona jump in on the bandwagon and switch to the P4 as well. Eric, I'd like to change my order to the P4 (WB tint). Thanks.

 

[Scottiver]

This is a break-down of the way I see it for tint comparisons to Luxeon's:

WB ~ YO
WC ~ XO
WD ~ WO
WG ~ X1
WH ~ V1 (but the WH tend to be very white when driven at currents higher than 500mA, although that doesn't apply to my AAA mods)

Alright! put me down for two WD P4's!
My next choice would be WB
then WC
then WH
then WG
Thanks!

Hi, Great mod. I'll take a 50, 1.00, Q3. Thanks, Dan

When do you expect the Q2's to be available?

 

[baylisstic]

Let me know when to paypal. Thanks.

I'm not really sure. At one point I heard they would be coming before the end of the quarter.

 

[MillerMods]

Will do.

Its about having the premium model. Not the negligible performance increase

just received my Miller Mods Cree ARC AAA mod and what a sweet little light!!!

workmanship is top quality. two stage switch works flawless so far. reflector area is polished to perfection.

good job!!!!

my only question is... when can you do another one for me?
only I'd like an ARC AA head to be modded. this could possibly be the ultimate 1x AA light using ARC AA's timeless form factor.

Cy - you're just going to have to join the list of Arc AA owners who are patiently waiting for a hard-domed emitter with a beam pattern more friendly to shallow reflectors. Right now it's either Luxeon or nothing for Arc-AA upgrades.

Glad to hear you like it. Randyo explained it well. I hope Cree will design a Luxeon drop-in replacement.

:hairpull:

I'm looking forward for this little booger more so than any light in a while.

Won't be long now.

eric, since ID of ARC AA head is identical to ARC AA. would it not be possible to use cree in ARC AA head too?

have not keep up with your posts... can this mod use AAA sized li-ion cell? really glad I chose the lower milliamp settings.

great job! best ARC AAA mod I've seen so far. very nice user interface! sure hope switch holds up.

 

[Yota]

Could you put me down for 1 complete.

50mA low
1.25 w high
Q3

Just let me know when to PP.

Thanks

Would the SSC P4 be a possibility?

 

[THE_dAY]

the ssc's gummy dome would get cluttered with dust without a window for protection.

 

[cy]

why should ARC AA head be much different than using cree for ARC AAA head?

don's already posted a proto light using cree without any type of reflector. bare cree emitter forward with no attempt at focusing output.

anyways... just a thought. working with idit-bity parts within a tight space like ARC AAA head is not my idea of fun.

good job Eric for putting a out an excellent product!!!

One other "possiblity" - an SSC emitter with a bit of clear hard epoxy poured down into the head to encase the emitter? Not filling the entire head - but just enough to fully enclose the gummy-bear dome?
