Flashlight Backpack 3.0 for Leatherman ARC

Update Nov 11, 2024: Users are reporting that the Flashy 3.0 works on the Limited Edition ARC Obsidian, however we have also seen variance in the conductivity of the black DLC coating. We do not know how this configuration will hold up long term so the Obsidian is "not supported" / "at your own risk".

Add a Burst of Light to Your Leatherman ARC.

This super slim flashlight backpack (4mm Height) can provide up to a sustained 5 Hours at maximum brightness.

90 Degree Horizontal Spill: Perfect for checking a bag, checking a fuse, inserting keys into a lock or any task where you need some discreet, close up illumination. 

3M Backed Water Resistant Membrane Overlay: The membrane covers the gold plated button pads. The buttons are flush and the activation force is a hard press so it won't accidentally light up in your sheath or pocket.

Front facing LED:  The front LED allows you to hold your ARC like a flashlight, with the tool open Flashy illuminates the pliers area. Hold your arc upside down for walking path illumination (gets you more ground coverage due to the large pivot screw on the arc blocking some light).

Rear facing LED: Illuminate the ground without removing the ARC from your belt. Due to occlusion, the LEDs do not directly illuminate the folding tools of the ARC.

Above: The LED will not directly light up the folding tools unless there is a nearby surface to reflect light.

Below: the "rear" LED can illuminate the ground while attached to your hip.

Batteries Included: 2 High Discharge Silver Oxide Cells Included. (Replace with Energizer 377/376 Multi Drain)

The batteries directly contact the surface of your ARC to complete the series circuit: in our tests the battery cans are the softer material so it should not scuff up your tool. Long term testing has not been done.

Screws Included: T6 / 1.5mm Hex mounting screws included.

Installation & Maintenance:

Troubleshooting:

Red or Green lights work but not white or "fading up/down effect": This is a low battery. The RED and GREEN LEDs require less voltage and will still light up even when the battery is almost dead. The order in which the lights stop working in a low battery situation are WHITE, GREEN and finally RED.

The batteries are fully cooked at around 1.3V per cell while a fresh set should measure at least 1.5V.
