Thanks to Orion for suggesting this...
I just added the Gkit order form to our website. Kit includes:
- 2 bezels (may be HA coated, lasered with serial number)
- either 2 retainer nuts and 2 retainer collars or 2 retainer nut-collars
- 2 rejected optics (either NX05 or NX01, may be scratched or dirty)
- 2 green PCBs with Wayne's 330mA circuit. Schottky diode not included. Everything else is on the board including a intergral heat sink, flex PCB, cobalt gold contact button, coilcraft inductor, X5R ceramic output cap, .15ohm sense resistor, RC network and step up IC.
- 2 LXHL-BW01 luxeon star LED emitters (greenish tint)
- 2 bodies (not HA coated, chemkoted aluminum)
- 2, P-123 packs (not coated, bare aluminum)
- 2, pack o-rings
Note that these parts are what used to make up the Arc-LS hybrid. The housing is rev1 (not waterproof) and the PCB is rev2.
This will require some complex assembly and you will have to come up with the schottky diode. But, you should be able to make at least one LS flashlight out of these parts. Cost per kit is $19.95 + shipping.
Assembly will include working with small parts, soldering and hand assembly of parts. The only tool really required is a soldering iron.
Please understand that these are being offered, "AS-IS"! You may not get a working flashlight from these parts. The P-123 pack will not work with some brands of batteries. Understand that there are risks in building a complex LED flashlight.
Some instructions on how to assemble these parts will be posted to this thread. Also, if anyone knows where to get the diode or can do a group buy, please post that here as well. Let me know your experiences in putting these together.
The schottky diode needed is a 1N5819HWDICT-ND or equiv (1 amp).
The LED is loose and will have to be soldered on the board. You may also solder your own LD or HD part in it's place. You could even buy one of our 5 watt LW6C emitters put it on the board, swap the sense resistor with a lower value and power it with a 6 volt pack (you provide) and make your very own hand warmer/5 watt flashlight!
This is a one time offer and will no longer be offered once they sell out.
Yes, they are dirt cheap but I want to clean up our warehouse quickly.
