So being impressed by the last couple of Arc mods, I thought I'd float this idea and see what people think.
What I was thinking was a single "D" cell in something like a cut down Maglite case (something like a the tailcap on both ends perhaps) and a flexible gooseneck stalk. At the end of the stalk is a AAA Arc head (just enough of the body to retain the screw on functionality). The battery container might have a metal clip ala Ripoffs.
The use would be outdoor activities such as backpacking or kayaking. You clip it on to your backpack strap or clothing and you have mega long running task lighting, or low level treking light. The flexible neck would make it handy for looking through your pack, reading a map, etc.
Seems like you should be able to get about 78 hours out of a battery which would really rock.
Another twist (don't mind the pun) might be a dual headed hydra, perhaps with an Arc AAA head and an CMG Infinity head which might get 252 hours runtime.
It would be one light people wouldn't be afraid for fear they will run out of power!
Thoughts?
