Peter, on the web page, you may want to change "Do to demand..." to "Due to demand...".

They used to.
The PayPal address is in their FAQ.

Peter,

Do these include the Arc4's that people have been exchanging for 'cosmetic' reasons discussed in your other thread?

Yes, and the LED tint may also be a bit green on some at the lower levels.

Re: Arc4 seconds on sale for $99.95 this weekend

I think these seconds will be quite dim and of poor workmanship. People should just STAY AWAY !!

( what time will the sale start ??? )

The price is getting down to where I like it a lot more. If it weren't for that pesky missing 2AA pack, I'd probably be tempted to pull the trigger on one of these. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: Arc4 seconds on sale for $99.95 this weekend

Man, this is getting tempting. I stayed away from the previous offer of seconds because I felt that the Arc4 is a radically new product for Arc and as such might not yet have all the bugs worked out, so I wanted a warranty. But what's there to really go wrong.

Peter, do these seconds have the current firmware? Are they eligible for $20.00 upgrades in the future? I presume they don't get a free upgrade like the firsts do.

Re: Arc4 seconds on sale for $99.95 this weekend

I dont have a problem with LS seconds,,,, cuz mostly its cosmetic.

But, I am scared to get a second Arc4,, cuz of output issues, or running to much current.

Might have to later though...... hold ,,, whats this?....

JUST got a shippment confirmation, my Arc4+ is on its way !!!!! WOOOO HOOOOO !!!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif

Re: Arc4 seconds on sale for $99.95 this weekend

jtice, the LS seconds generally had LED's that weren't up to the standards needed for a first. I had two of them and they were perfectly useable, but both had noticable tint issues, one of them bordering on severe. Brightness was fine on both. I thought of modding one of them with a better led but never got around to it. On the Arc4 seconds, that might be much more difficult.

Re: Arc4 seconds on sale for $99.95 this weekend

paulr,

Ah I see, well I hear alot of ppl are happy with theirs.
Yea, they would made great mod hosts.

The Arc4,,, hmm have to get mine first, donno, might be moddable. As long as the circuit was still in good working order, should be fine.

Just seems alot more than tint, or cosmetic can be wrong with an Arc4 vs. an LS.
Circuit not controlling the LED properly, giving too much curent, eating batts, etc.

Re: Arc4 seconds on sale for $99.95 this weekend

If the circuit and led can be removed, you can put other less sophisticated guts and have a light with a better reflector and a pocket clip.
Does anyone know if the innards are removable??

Re: Arc4 seconds on sale for $99.95 this weekend

You can't remove the circuit or LED. Period. No. Just stop thinking about it right now. It's not possible.

The head is potted in epoxy, and so are all the guts inside of it. You really can't get in there. Sorry guys...

Re: Arc4 seconds on sale for $99.95 this weekend

As jtice said:

But in my case it's a second. At that price, it takes a stronger flashaholic than me to resist! And they promised me one with the nice restful green tint too.

Now to tell the wife . . .
