Arc Flashlight: Miscellaneous Accessories and Specials has the empty tube, empty head, and several different emitters for hobbyists.
A fellow over at CPF some years ago was improving the Arc AAAs, making them a 2-mode light. Searching on “Millermods” might find that info.
I’ve carried one in my wallet forever, still completely reliable, still running its first Energizer lithium primary cell.
It’s been invaluable in a few blackouts.
