Thanks for doing all that should make my trips to H D much quicker…
I found the Husky dual beam interesting.Is the ring an array of led`s in a difuser tube?
It did seem to have pwm on the video.
Also it looks to be 4aaa cells not 6.
Good video as usual VOB
This video showed up in my YouTube suggestions. Came her me and saw this post. Will watch shortly.
There are two huskies that are almost identical. The 6AA and also a 4AA, the bodies are the same size, but its possible I might have accidentally shown the 4AA carrier in the cut away shot.
Yes the ring is a COB, several small emitters in the ring with the yellow material over the top. There is PWM, Visually I was not able to see it.
Thanks for taking the hit on cost >$600. Looks like you chose a time/day/week that wasn't busy at Home Depot.
The only light I have that's close to anything in this vid, is the Coast Polysteel 600. Plastic does not give much heat disposition, thus the manufacturer spec of 710 lumens takes a dive real fast. Coast is highly visible in stores here in Portland Oregon, it's where their manufacturing plant is.
Always enjoy your videos!
I usually walk right past lights when shopping Lowe’s or Home Depot, but I might have to get that Coast with the “Inspection” beam!
Went to Tokyo recently, this is what i could find in the local electronics store
And this was what the KLM has in their Boeing 777
Whoa… I think I would’ve bought just one of each.
I always did like the 2×AA MiniMags. Hacqueable, with a little drilling. Otherwise a decent solid light.
This is such a great video!
Is Lowe’s next?! 
Oh, speaking of which, my LuxPro 4×AAA light also has one of those soft-touch e-switches in the tailcap. Can’t for the life of me undo the ring that’s around the pogo stick, but just bridging negative to the tube gives 100% brightness. “100%” through the switch still has some pwm “notches”, which is how it powers the tailcap’s driver.
You always gotta be VERY careful with series alkaleaks, else eventually they’ll for sure ruin the innards of the carrier and light itself if you let ’em. Easy to get 3×AAA carriers (long and short), but try getting a 4×AAA one.
The biggest selection of flashlights in the Portland OR area is at our local Frys electronics store. I took this photo about a year ago with the automatic pano function in my iPhone, the isle is actually straight.
Now this is content! Love the energy, keep up the good work!
Matt,
I can’t watch your videos without smiling a few times and always end up in a better mood.
Thanks for the great info and paying the good vibes forward.
Still my favorite lights i ever bought from HomeDepot is the Defiant Super Thrower. I have one extremely modded, and 5 stock ones. I may mod a couple of the stock DSTs to use for giveaways soon.
Watched the whole video, BRAVO!
Thanks for the effort and expense.
Some of the the Tractor supply store brand flashlights are decent too.
Jobsmart they are called.
Not next, but they are on my radar. Up next is a major sporting goods store.
Nice! I do have some family I would like to visit in Oregon :partying_face:
Thank you for mentioning it. There is a TS in Hollister, I had not heard they had a house brand. I will investigate.
Bet it starts with a C and ends with an S
Matt, a true Flashaholic 
I have the $15 Rayovac 2aa “virtually indestructible” flashlight. I leave it in my car with lithium primaries in it. I’m disappointed that Matt didn’t even mention it, even though it is on the chart and measured higher than factory spec, I think it’s a pretty good light for $15 and pretty throwy for it’s size. Two modes, It starts in high, and has a forward clicky like most Coast lights. I like the plastic covered lights for leave in car use since it’ll most likely end up dropped or laid on asphalt or something that would scratch the ano of a Convoy or similar
A hacque, that’s how you bring up a hairball, right? 
I am so ruined by my so-much-better-than-those lights, they don’t even tempt me. It’s like waving instant coffee under my nose after months of drinking Starbucks. I’m, like 
But it’s a fun video.
Nah, the dreaded “15min Match-Mod”, then you can drop in a, well, a drop-in.
Makes a decent and clean-looking twisty.
