I'm inspired by "1W Luxeon on Arc AAA host" of McGizmo. So I talked with Katokichi(CPF#3388). And he did great metal work.
I assembled it. The Arc AAA T!

Main parts.

AAA-KT1.jpg

Black anodized(not HA) head case.
Hand sorted 1w SE Luxeon(bin# P5J).
ARC mania's MicroConverter.
Modified B270 lens.
Modified unknown reflector. Came from junk box. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif

Beam shot.

AAA-KT3.jpg

There is a concentric circle pattern a little. A right Pix is vs Arc AAA LE. The left is Arc AAA.

Size comparison.

AAA-KT4.jpg

Slightly longer than normal Arc AAA.

BTW, we do not have time and facility to produce in large quantities. <font color="red"> So do not say "PayPal sent". </font> /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif

That is inspired. Great work, beautiful fitting. Looks just like a production from the workshops of Arc. If you didn't say so, I would have thought that was a new model from Arc.

What is the runtime or current draw? Oh wait... it's ArcMania's board... are there specs on that? Got to do a search. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Great!

I made the case of this MOD, but it was very hard work.
The one and only...

That is the best Arc AAA mod to date !!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I like the look also. Goes with the body very well.

If a run of these were ever made, they would disapear in seconds.

very nice!

though...when you replace the actual arc head, can you still call it an arc, when all you're using is the body? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

man that's nice! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drool.gif

Amazing! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/faint.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif
They DO exist! The Micro Illuminator in an Arc AAA case, now that's what we are talking about! I like the head a bit larger in diamter than the AAA body, easier to grip that way. The larger head can also sink the heat away and give a better reflector as well.
Thanks for the tease, just wish Peter can start building the Arc AA LS.

Thank you for a lot of interest for this MOD. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
It is a thing by cooperation of a lot of CPF members that I was able to realize this. Again, Thank you for all CPF members. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
