For sale is an ARC AAA that LED_ASAP modded with a Lux I emitter. It is his '400 mA' build which I assume is how much current it draws from the battery, not what it sends to the emitter. The light itself is in good, carried condition... there are no major cuts or scrapes, but it has typical wear marks on the high portions of the edges... basically the HAIII has stood up very well.
The light is about as bright as a stock Inova X5T with about twice the throw. There is a greenish tint to the beam as was standard with a large number of lux lights built when this one way. The beam is squarish, sort of like a KL3 but with a much wider beam.
This will run on alkaline cells, but they won't last long... I've used it exclusively with NiMH cells per LED_ASAP's recommendations. At the time, he recommended the Ray-O-Vac 800mAh cells by name so that's what I went with but since getting some of the Energizer 850mAh cells, I've been using them. With the Energizer cells, I get about an hour and 40 minutes runtime.
I don't know much about the circuit design he used, but I assume it is constant current as the light seems to stay the same brightness, then it starts flashing for about a minute or two, then goes into a moon mode for what seems like a long time.
At the time, I think he charged $85 for the mod, plus the host which was $35-$40. I'll part with it for $60 shipped or I'll include the 2-cell Ray-O-Vac charger and two Ray-O-Vac 800mAh cells for an additional $10 and no extra shipping. I'll accept CC or cash paypal with no additional fee.
Edit - dropped the price $5. I'd take a ORB RAW (esp with 2 stage) or Streamlight TL-3 as a trade or partial trade. ORB doesn't have to be in perfect condition and cash can go either way depending on what you have.
Edit - dropped price again to $60. This will be the final price drop on this light. Trade interests still stand.
Light is SOLD PENDING FUNDS.
