I know this isn't a sales thread, but it seems to have turned into one. Sorry....
Only 5 heads made it through the process. At present I have no plans for another batch.
Here is the PM I sent to those that expressed interest. Thanks,

Hello all, I finished the ArcAAA miniFLuPIC Cree XR-E P4 heads today. The batch only yielded 5 (a couple of heads didn't survive the machining process).
Here are a couple of links to the previous batches.

A couple of notes on these.
1. These are done by hand so the beams are not perfect, but I think they came out a little better than my previous batches.
2. Like any exposed emitter light, you should be careful not to poke or push on the dome.
3. These really push the limits of the 10440 Li-ion batteries, so they will get quite warm quickly. I recommend limiting long runs on full blast.
4. I have included a larger o-ring if you want a tighter head.
5. These are for the heads only. They are all HA-NAT (from cy)
6. IMPORTANT. One of the heads (#5) came with the internal bore offset from the center. This caused the machining to cut through one side of the a little bit where the o-ring goes. This *could* weaken the head a bit, however, I have added more epoxy inside the head for additional strength. Due to this flaw, this head will be sold at $15 less than the other heads. ($75 instead of $90). If one of the first 4 would like to make a deal to switch with ydna - that's fine.
7. These are very bright.
The cost is $90 per head which includes worldwide shipping by Canada Post (Small Packet - Air and includes CAN$100 insurance).
As per common CPF sales the purchaser assumes shipping risks in accordance with chosen shipping method.
Please include your full shipping address and your CPF name. If you would like a different type of shipping please contact me via PM before sending paypal. Thanks,
Paypal (either type) is fine.
