Hi everybody,

I'm selling this mod (done by yours truly) to raise some funds.

Yes, you read correctly, I have modded my Arc4+ rev1 #683 by
swapping out it's "BRAINS" with a custom v2 Lionheart circuit
(slower ramping up and down).

This is a rare - one-of-a-kind unprecedented mod! I don't
think this has been done yet.

It puts out TWICE the output initially compared to my
HDS EDC Ultimate 60. It registers 1,850 lux at 1 meter!!
Of course it has all the Lionheart v2 dimming and
auto off features. It has level 1 toggle and also easy
access to button lockout. On the lowest setting it lasts for
like 4 days.

Here are some cousins posing:

It comes with UCL lens installed and also the stock lens and
a nano r123 charger and two cells. It also comes with the
clip that was never used. The emitter is a TWOJ rebinned out
of 8 with the highest output. (23% more than the lowest TWOJs)
It's close to the U bin range.

On the outside, it looks just like an arc4+, but you see all the
difference when you turn it on /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif It runs warm, but if you keep
it in your hand things are fine.

Worried about not being about to use cr123 primaries?
Well, actually it does work with primaries. From a slightly
used duracel ultra, it puts out 505 lux at 1m!!
Thats MORE than the original arc4+ put out anyway! Not to shabby!
I measured 94ma. With a typical 1400mah primary, it should
last a good 20 hours!

Lots of time and energy was put into unpotting the arc4+ to
getting everything just right.

$350 shipped anywhere. (final price drop)

Here are a few pictures:

That is (excuse the language) bl@#$y f#$$#g beautiful...

How much did it cost to do the raw mod? (incase i want to send you my origonal arc 4 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif )

Have you managed to resolve the switch problems? ie, the mushy feel, drop damage etc?

Thanks for the kind words LED_Blind.

Well, the Lionheart circuit is unobtainium right now.
I had to ship it to another CPFer to unpot it.
It took several hours to do the whole thing.
It's really a lot of trouble so I'm not offering to do it
just now, even if Lionheart circuits become available.

The switch is just the same as the stock one :p

The beam is identical to an Arc4+ or HDS EDC. Standard 20mm
reflector. It has a bigger hotspot than the lionheart and will
provide more flood. The 27mm so27xa reflector in the lionheart
is a thrower but it doesn't provide as much flood as the 20mm
in the arc4+ and HDS EDC's.

Yep, I have been playing.... er, ah, testing it, for a day or so now,

Its very impressive next to my stock Arc4+
Much much whiter, and damn near twice the output it seems.

Nice work 47s /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Keep in mind it takes 3 to 4 times the power for your eyes to say "Hey!
that looks twice as bright!"

The way I came up with 120 lumens is it's roughly TWICE the output of
the HDS EDC 60 reading in lux at 1m. The HDS EDC has the same
reflector, in fact, Henry at HDS was the mastermind of the Arc4+.

Anyway, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bumpit.gif
