SIGN UP LIST : ARC AAA 3.1(ALL ALUMINUM VERSION )

Hi guys,
We will need 250 as a min. order quantity but peter will produce the straight aluminum version for us at standard cost.
Let us know if you'd be interested and at what quantity.
Thanks,
Steelhead

I'll take one to start us off and if we get close to 250 I may pick up any slack.

QTY: 1

I will take one (1) too.

One. Will Lye remove HA? It will on regular anodize.

Explain to me why I want to buy this.

Painless,
Check out the arguments in the "Straight Aluminum no HA" Thread.

I'll take 2(two)

I'd get at least one...

Eric.

I love these lights, and i love this company! I'll take one just because it looks cool...that and i need (or want... i can't distinquish anymore) a white led.

I recall a few members recieving prototype Arc LSs a long while back. I think Craig "The LED-Museum" recieved one and has pictures on his site. Were those prototypes just bare alumminum? I think they were...they were silver. If they were...Craig, how do they stand up against daily use? I know you've carried that around for quite some time.

The body & head have a lot of very shallow scuffs & scratches on it, but it's still looks bright and somewhat shiny (not quite mirror shiny, not quite matte finish either). It was never truly mirror or chrome shiny; let me try to think of what else has that kind of finish... hmmm I just can't think of anything. When you think of "bare aluminum" and develop a picture in your mind, well, that's what it still looks like.

Time to bring out the camera...


Head with 123 pack on it, 2-AA pack in front.

Same. Lighting was from computer monitor, the yellowing sunset, and (this picture only) an Ill Pill LS mod coming in from low & to the left.

You can tell where the flashlight has been dropped (check out the ding in the 2AA tail); the rest of the irregularities are just from everyday use; in my opinion, this gives the flashlight a homely, lived-in look; you can tell the person who owns this flashlight actually *uses* it.

How bought this? The next generation of ARC LE's be produced in silver anodize?

This way they are different then the last set of LE's so everything stays Limitied? Plus we get the new circuit, roll crimp etc and the silver we all want.

I woulda voted for silver on the CPF, but I thought silver would be a standard color soon enough, but maybe I was wrong?

And by silver I mean an anodize the same color as the base aluminum.

I'll take 2

Will it be knurled? The shinny finish on the proto LS looks nice.

One.. (Maybe two...)

YC

I'll take two of the AAA's.

I'll even take an aluminum LS kit if it ever becomes reality.

i'm down for 2.

I'll take three! I'm tired of everything looking like it belongs to a SEAL or SWAT team member. I spent 15+ years in the Army...I'v had enough of things military!

I'd take at least one. I wish there was an easy way to protect the LED while in my pocket though.

Not sure how easy it is but McGizmo did this. It sure looks cool. Here is his thread on it. Oh yeah and count me in at least once for an aluminum version.

I'll take one to! I have seen a minimag with the same finish and I loved it ( not enough to buy it though )!

I`ll take two (2)
