Arc AAA vs ARC Super D runtime?

How long will it run? I really don't think I have the patience for this.

Probably until December 2009 when the battery expires /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

Send it to me and I'll tell you... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohgeez.gif

Heyyyyyy.....gives me an idea....hey there CNCDan, do you think there might be a market for a AAA to D mod? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

How do you put that sucker on your keychain?

Noooo problem! Use a BIGGER chain. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hmmmmm ... Done properly a battery carrier to hold one C or D battery and an Arc AAA head would actually be a good emergency light with a REALLY long run time - something just short of the heat death of the universe ...

The Arc AAA actually puts out a really good and useful amount of light, and for long term emergency use, a single D sized lamp is not at all "too big" to be a good unit.

If someone comes up with such a holder (waterproof, etc., of course) I very likely would spring for one if the cost were reasonable.

i believe cnc dan did this awhile ago...it sure turned out nice!!

This is actually a very good setup to keep in mind in case you end up in a survival situation. With something like a coathanger, and whatever battery you can find, you could have basic light for quite a long time.

Nice one!!

a Super D should be made with several available heads, i have a Arc AAA and LE, 2 heads could fit easy on top of a D cell.

It was me who did the single C an D cell bodies for the LS. I have just completed a single C cell holder for the AAA, but the darn anodizers didn't mask the threads right, and now the threads need to be stripped. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Here's the newest one:

Well I wonder how Dan's AAAA bodies are doing. I'd buy one but I'm plum broke /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif that's ok I have a buyer lined up for my soul...

Sabby, send him my way!

Now there's an ARC AAA with character!

dspeck
you want to make any of them to sell?
i'm trying to get every light configuration possible.
lol
no really i want one!

Email me with your wants (or needs ... )and I'll see what I can do. Mods are what I do, after all... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Either that or _any_ wire and some clear adhesive tape.
