Luxeon Carabiner Clip Light

I found this in a local store:



While clip flashlights like these are plentiful, this one caught my eye because it uses an AAA battery instead of button cells. Stock the incandescent bulb is joke, barely enough light to walk with in total darkness.

A little modding and that was taken care of nicely:



Now it's a Luxeon flashlight powered with an ArcMania Micro Pill like used in the Micro-Illuminator and Nano-Mate:



The stock reflector is too deep to be used, but with a drilled out Mag Solitare reflector the Micro pill fits like a glove.

A great easy little mod that adds another flashlight to the list of possibilities with the Micro Pill.

Re: Luxeon Clip Light

nice job. I love my lambda creations. Hey are the micro pills available by themselves or is the mj's micro driver from the shoppe about the same size?/

Re: Luxeon Clip Light

Now, that is really slick!

Those Carabiner Lights were a major disappointment to me. Your mod makes them even better than the what I originally hoped for.

Awesome. .

Re: Luxeon Clip Light

Where can I buy the Micro pill? How much? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon6.gif

Re: Luxeon Clip Light

I see that light every time i go to menards, and been planning to get one eventually to do the same thing. Especially considering the driver i developed to put 1.5W into a lux from LiON. What kind of powr level are you running the pill, and like the others asked.. pre-fab, you built? how much?

Re: Luxeon Clip Light

Good news!

You've asked, and YES is the answer! Complete micro-pills will be available soon at a special low price along with Carabiner Clip and Micro-Illuminator kits, but hey wait, I'm revealing way too much. These and other fun new stuff will be available after the 1st of the new year. So hang on, we're talking less than three weeks here. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

But first, it's time to kick back and enjoy the Holidays and finish the instructions and kits for the MiniPro, program the new web pages, etc. I expect the redesigned web site with new goodies to get operational about 2 Jan. Good things come to those that wait...

Re: Luxeon Clip Light

Hey Kevin,
These are neat. Will they be available without the pill and with the reflector?

Sorry to ressurect a long lost thread...

I recieved a stock Carabiner light from my well meaning Dad as part of my christmas present, he'd paid £1 (about $2) at a local shop for it.

I searched the forum to see if anybody else had ever seen one, and found this thread.

Did anything ever come of the Kits you guys mentioned above? I'd be interested in a quick mod for this light, as I can see it being quite usefull at summer camps, at my camp it's a sackable offence not to have your water bottle with you, I like the idea of EDCing an extra flashlight as well as my bottle.

I've toyed with the idea of retrofitting an old ARC AAAP head as the diameter is very similar, however retaining the original body would be nicer.

Cheers in anticipation!

You should PM lambda and see if he has any or can get you one.
