My first ARC LS Mod - edit: remove the words ARC LS... beam pic added

SunnyQueensland · Feb 3, 2008

I'm not sure what that lens was, but it had to go, (square city) and it is fully reversible which I like. :thumbsup:

I would like to get a multi-mode board and an up to date emitter in there soon also. :shrug:

Here is a pic because I'm chasing feedback on what I could improve. (where the ? can I get a UCL from?)

Not to sure about the UCL lense

but up to date LED would be a Q5 i think
and for a multi mode board well DX has HEAPS
all depends on you voltage input (im guessing a CR123 )?
sorry i dont know this light too well
Maybe post some intenal pics
Thanks

Looking good!
Pics of the guts would be nice to have.

Nice mod. I've always had a personal interest in this particular light...

The UCL you can get from Flashlightlens.com. Not listed on the site for purchase but I'm sure they can still custom cut you one, just have to pay more. I just ordered some mineral glass lenses & should have them in a couple days. I ordered extra if you're interested.

I have searched for these driver boards you speak of and I cannot find any that would suit... I even have a few sitting in my spares box that I thought I might use one day. (They did not come with leads attached and there are no markings as to which leads go where?) But as far as a drop in goes what do they have? Please help... :thinking:

I will post some pics of the internals shortly... :thumbsup:

P.S. The Flashlightlens website seems to have a lens in the compatibility chart for this light, (19.4mm) but they are out of stock... Anywhere else?

Thanks... :twothumbs

I would swap out the emitter to a P4, and perhaps get a flupic from TnC. I had a couple like that, they were quite nice.

If I ever work this out I would be happy to do it for you at no cost... Just supply the parts (If I have the parts needed then even better but still no charge) :thumbsup:

There was once an excellent photo guide to disassembly of the Arc LSH. You can find a link to it in this thread: http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=110143

Unfortunately, it seems the link has expired. Does anyone have a cached copy of it?
