I decided to do a special run of these for CPF, thinking about upcoming holiday activies. I also thought it would be great for people to be able to
reach for the green-bodied flashlight when they want green-light color. Makes sense, right?
Then along comes a co-worker who is older than me (!) and running a marathon for The National Collegiate Cancer
Foundation. I've agreed to donate $13 from each light to benefit the charity. This will be a WIN-WIN-WIN for 8 lucky CPF buyers, some
disadvantaged students, and myself for staying out of trouble by upgrading flashlights.
This is a brand new aluminum-bodied flashlight, converted using a Cyan Lux III Emitter. The emitter is high output, about 80 lumens and 510-520 nm wavelength. It's very eye-catching color! NOTE: Luxeon discontinued the Cyan emitter, and Cree doesn't make it at all. This makes the emitter RARE.
The color is between green and blue, closer to green. This color is sometimes called "night vision green" because of it's usefulness. Also cyan is referred to as "aqua", or "turquoise".
The emitter is unusual, the die has a silvery finish. Where a white emitter has a yellowish color, this is like a mirror!
About 1.5 hour semi-regulated runtime on a CR123 cell (manufacturer's data). The LED-Museum tested 1:40 to 50% intensity, and continued running to 3:30 at 1.5%. Since the emitter is the same voltage as the stock white LED, the driver is the same, and the runtime should be the same.
Someone will ask if RCR123's are OK to use. I don't know what the manufacturer recommends, but from what I've read it's OK. I would refer you to do a search to find out. I found this and this post, you may find others as well. Use 3.7V cells at your own educated risk. Luxeon rates this cyan LED for 1000mA, so the emitter I'm putting in should be as good as the white one removed.
Enough technical stuff. Here's a summary of what you get:
* Flashlight, green body and cyan emitter.
* Nylon Carrying Case.
* Pocket Clip, installed (by factory)
* Panasonic CR123 Cell
* Original Packaging, only cut around the edges to remove and replace the light.
OPTIONAL:
* Double-sided Anti-Reflective UCL Glass lens. I only have 3! I got them from flashlightlens-dot-com .
This light was upgraded to my picky standards, and tested for 5 minutes. I did not re-epoxy the head, just twisted it tight. Some of the original
epoxy may remain on the internal threads. No pliers or straps were necessary to remove the head, boiling hot water and washcloths allowed me to do it by hand. If you find any flaws in the flashlight, they were that way from the factory.
Price:
$34 Each
+$5 If you choose the UCL lens upgrade option (0 available)
+$6 Shipping (USPS Priority Box), regardless how many you buy.
Paypal Shipped USPS priority (2-3 day) to any Paypal-confirmed USA address.
Please add $2 if you want insurance, to protect the unlikely event of a postal mishap.
To purchase, please post in this thread what you want, then PM me for my PayPal address. Pay within 24 hours of my reply PM, then I will ship the next postal business day after payment.
I am not a manufacturer, I cannot offer a warranty.
I make no profit on this sale, that goes to charity as state above. Thanks to Battery Junction for selling the Q3's at a reduced price, and Photon Fanatic for selling me what's left of his Lux III cyan emitters at a discount.
Please see the pictures below. The very last image compares the emitter color to green (535nm) and blue (485nm) emitters, to help you judge the color despite your monitor's color settings. I'll try to get better pictures tomorrow when it's daylight.
