The website is now ready to take pre-orders for the new Arc-AAA. This is the latest design in the Arc-AAA family and now features 80% more light output. You can read more about the light here and here.

The site currently accepts Paypal only. In 2 weeks, we will also accept credit cards on the site but for now, Paypal can process your Visa, Mastercard, etc. We ship domestic and international via FedEx. APO/FPO can be shipped USPS priority.

Again, this is a pre-order. The product is expected to ship by July 22nd. Thank you beta testers for testing the new design for us. If anyone is interested in those results, check this thread.

That's the standard offer but for those who want the light a little sooner, I have an option you might be interested in. We have some lights finished already. Not a lot, but some. The one thing they lack is a plastic retail package to go in. That should be ready in 3 weeks. If we don't hear from you, we will wait and ship your order when the packaging is ready. But, if you place an order and want us to ship it without the packaging so you may get it sooner, send me an email to [email protected] and I will see what I can do. This option is only missing the plastic clamshell (a snap together retail package that can be hung on a shelf) and the cardboard graphic that helps sell the light. Everything in the package is ready to go including the full light, Duracell battery, split ring and clip. The lifetime warranty is included of course.

Here's what it looks like. On the left, the contents laid out. In the middle, the light assembled without the clip. Btw, please note the difference in the tint of the anodize on the head and the body (this variation is normal for natural Hard Anodize but it doesn't hurt to remind people now and then). On the right of the photo, this is how the package would look if shipped to you (of course, it would be inside of a bubble pack with a shipping label).

So you have two choices. Wait and get the light+ retail packaging or have it shipped sooner (the first orders can go out the week ending July 8th) without the retail packaging. Some of you want the full deal, some throw away the packaging anyways and would like to save the enviroment right? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleye11.gif

Merri's gonna love me for offering this deal to you guys. She's the one who has to sort through all the emails and figure out who gets what. Hehe.

Thank you, Peter.

Email sent for quick shipment without packing.
I have ordered two ARC-AAA premiums and paypaled.

Thanks.
 
Paypal and email sent for one Premium.
To hopefully help Merri w/ the email sorting, in the subject line of my email I put
"AAA Prem w/ early shipping, order # xxxx."

Thanks for the early ship option, Peter. The clamshell would only get in the way .... heh.

I too have paypaled and emailed about early ship for a Premium. In my email to Peter I suggested that maybe further down the road he (or someone who waited and is confident in their digital photography skills) could post a photo of the retail packaging for all of us impatient ones who really want this light ASAP but are still curious about what we will be missing. I'm sure this bridge will be crossed when we get to it (considering the final insert design doesn't even exist quite yet). Thanks again for accomodating us flashlight geeks by getting your lights into our grubby little paws that much sooner,
Jon
 
Count me in for a Premium without the retail packaging.

I have a package of lithium AAA's waiting for the new Arc-AAA.

My order number is 1332. Does that mean you've gotten that many orders already...? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Over the next few weeks (months?) will there be tweaks here and there made to it?

I'm interested in purchasing one, however am in no hurry.
 
You guys should know by now I am always tweaking my designs (flashlights, forum posts, etc)... However, after 4 years of tweaking the AAA, it is a bit more stable than some of my designs. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
