Here is my plan:
I am now offering a second run of these UBHs. I am having these turned on a CNC machine locally, so that they all turn out well, and so that the delivery time is cut way down. I will have these anodized, unless you specifically order them unanodized. The anodizing is hard anodize, type 3 (HA3), and is offered in natural colour only. This matches well with your Arc-LS and your Surefire HA models.
Here is a recap for those who missed out on the first run:
The UBH (Universal Battery Holder) is an adapter that will take any of the Arc-LS, SF E1x, E2x or KL1 bezels. All have the same threads, so the head end is threaded to fit them. Into this UBH, you can fit any of the following battery combinations: 1AA, 2AA, 1A, 2A, or 1, 2, or 3 CR123s. What you use will depend on the type of head you want to run. This unit lets you run your E1x, KL1, or Arc-LS heads with cheap AA batteries! The tailcap switch (TCS) is the one from your SF E-series light.
The main offering will be in aluminum, as I said above, and the standard finish will be HA3. I will offer brass units as well, for a seperate price. These will have to be custom made, as I only have a quote for the aluminum units.
The spacers consist of a 1AA spacer, a 1x123 spacer, and a 2x123 spacer. This set allows the full range of battery options. Included with the basic kit is a tube adapter to go from the 123 to the AA diameter, and a small spacer to push the batteries up enough to use the Arc-LS head. A full kit consists of the basic unit, plus all spacers, plus the anodizing.
Pictures and the details on pricing can be seen on the Buy/Sell/Trade forum here.
****UPDATE****: Just a reminder that I will only be accepting orders until Thursday, February 20th, at 10pm EST. On Friday the 21st, I will give the final numbers to the CNC shop. Please have your orders in by Thursday evening to get in on this round of the UBH offerings.
