Hi All

This tube is made by DSpeck, and instead of using SF tailcap like his usual UBH, this tube has its own tailcap, utilizing kroll tailcap.

The kroll is recessed and is modified to be two stage (by Led Zeppellin)

The arc LS head is first rev style, that was stripped and reanodized. Also, the whole bezel is loctite-ed together so it would be very hard to try to separate them.
It is currently housing RX1H Lux I, cut down SO17XA reflector, and arc stock plastic lens. the construction of the LE is a bit rough but it works. In other words, the whole set is a simple light that works.

Anyway, the body comes with adapter and spacer, so you can use 2 CR123, 1 CR123, 1 AA, 1 18650 or 1 17670 (might rattle) inside the body.

So this is what you will get:
1. Custom 18650 pack that let you use multiple cell options, and can fit to either arc LS series or E series head (if you have the arc to E adapter)
2. two stage tailcap (off-low-high), resistance on low is about 4~5 ohms.
3. Arc LS head first rev, stripped and reanodized, and loctited together. Try to separate at your own risk (there is a scratch in the top bezel to prove it).
the head houses RX1H lux I with SO17XA, plastic lens and DD. (it was still on its star)


My asking price: ($old) shipped in the USA. Out of country, pay actual shipping

I accept PP cash or CC (add 4%)


I am also looking for full or partial trade with the following item:
* Cree (preferably bare, WD color, P4 and up bin)
* Maglite 2D, does not have to be new. any color is fine
* Cree/Lux heatsink for Mag D sizes
* E series parts
* miscellaneous luxeons
* other stuff you might think of (pm me for offers)




Thanks for looking

Hi guys,

I am sorry, my mistake.

This head will only work for Arc head. In order to use E series head on this pack, you will need an arc to E adapter.

I guess when I write the sale post, I kept thinking that I still have the Arc to E series adapter (that I sold to bombelman already)

Hi! I'll still take it! It really looks like a pretty cool setup.

Thanks for mentioning the adapter issue. Anyone know what that adapter looks like?

Hey, does anyone have the "ARC to E" adapter?

Thanks!

Wow, those are great pics!

Please let me know if anyone know who might have one of the "ARC to E" adapters they might want to cut loose.

Bombelman, that is one sweet combination with the KL4 head, "ARC to E" adapter and your custom made CR2 tailcap. I might have to get one of those tailcaps. I just asked if any were still available on your thread here:

Hey, you might have to start producing some of these "ARC to E" adapters too! That KL4 combo is just too sweet!

Thanks!

Warleader, payment received. Will ship tomorrow


Greenled, I know :( I deserve some spanking too :p


Bombelman, think you can duplicate the design and mass produce the adapter? I bet there would be lots of demand :D

First the Arc-to-E adapter, now the Arc-18650 ?
What's next from your stash ? Blue-Anno Arc LS ? Arc LS3 ?
Whatever it is, :takeit:

Design can be duplicated, yes. Lots of demand ? To go into mass production, you have to think about 48, 96, or even more for CNC-runs.
Unless you get these quantities, you cannot get the price you expect from it.
And that is for machining only, you would still have to do HAIII....

Not that many guys out there that can turn 36 of the same part by hand...

If you decide to buy 100pcs :) consider it done... hehehe
