These appear to be Coast FL85’s. I went out and purchased a pack this morning. I’ve been using both the Coast FL75 and 85 for over a year and they’re really nice. 20 bucks for 2 is crazy!!! Thinkin they’ll be gone before they go on clearance.
Hmm I think my HD is broken. Most of the lights from the huge thread above are not even showing up. I think there was only 3 types of flash lights and one type of lantern.
Going out tomorrow to take a look at the other HD, it is a bit bigger but this one should have had a bit more.
For this being a 4xAA light, it is pretty darn huge. Here it is next to the 3xC Defiant and Convoy S2+.
I haven’t done any measurements, but with a naked eye, light output from this 500 lm Husky seems pretty close to the 1000 lm Defiant. However, the Husky has a more intense hot spot. It also has mode memory, so I like its UI better than Defiant’s.
From negatives, the Husky has some ugly green tint right outside of the hot spot.
Thanks for posting about this latest deal. i checked using the brickseek link for zipcode 35603 and found a nearby store that had 160 on hand, and 159 saleable. Plus numerous stores in TN and GA that still had full pallet quantities available.
So i drove over and there were none to be seen. i used the in-store pc and clicked on price-check, but couldn’t find them under “flashlights”, but later tried “spotlights” and it came up at the $4.98 price. Now it was just a matter to find that pallet full of lights.
Indeed it was a full pallet still in the shrink wrap up on the top rack a few aisles over.
There was an interesting label on the palleted boxes: HOLD FOR MET PROJECT FLASHLIGHT BLOWOUT QP ???Wonder what that is all about? Some of the HD workers thought these might have been from Black Friday specials. But it appears that there are numerous stores downs here near the mother ship that have full pallets up on the top rack and no clue that they are there.
The boxes assembled into display stands with a $9.88 price, then they printed out a new label to cover that and show the $4.98, which is a super deal on a quality light—it throws a long 320 m beam, has 2 modes with the trigger switch, runs 12 hours on 3 C-cells.
But if you can’t find any near you and want to pay for shipping i’ll grab some for you.
The SKU in the store is different than the brickseek link, it is 1001-596-206. Try that one and see if some show up.
The driver board is 1.25” diameter, there is a Q1 N-FET NCE2060K, and U1 is an 8-pin ic that has been sandblasted to remove the part number, and U2 is a 5-pin with tab ic, D7136. i don’t like that big solder ball, it indicates lack of wetting of the solder to the wire and the device and is likely to fail as a cold-solder joint.
The battery carrier has 3 spring-loaded pins on each end and can be inserted either direction, it is polarity insensitive.
I went to a local store to see if they had any of the hand held spot lights. I had already searched with the site provided by Sigster and only 1 local store came up
Here is why, they have pennied out!
What this means is that if your local store does NOT come up, then it could be it has pennied out there also.
Find one and it could be a penny.
Here is the one store in my area that had stock.
Also, here are a couple of other deals I came across.
It is very unusual to see anything at 90% off
These Dewalts are 30% off
These Fisker loppers are $19.97
But right around the corner was this display with the same long handle lopper with FREE pruner for only $4.92!
See, they are the same.
I bought 8, friends took 7.
Maybe I should have bought them all? (there were 32)
