This one still shows at regular price online. I guess I would have to head over to my local HD store to see if they’ve discounted it there.
As if I needed more flashlights… 
I just went online and at several stores I chose at random around the country, they were $15.98
1002-583-902
Thanks. Yup, it’s $15.98 now.
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.
I could not find these in Canada but did find this, a consolation prize
Defiant spotlight is 4.88 at my local. On the 5 buck table
What a price considering it comes with 3xc batteries.
Looks mega-mod friendly.
32mm driver and look at this heatsink
So I bought 3 more…

Nothing showing in my area, might still go down to the closest one after rush hour and see if they have some…
I was there Tuesday and there were not any at any price. Came back Thurs and they had the 5 dollar gift table full of them.
Had a big sign on it comparing it to a rayovac 6v lantern
Wow Sigster, what a great site!
ImA’, can you post a link for us?

Great idea. Done
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.
Home Depot says none within 100mls of my zipcode
I would take you up on the offer of shipping. Actually make that 2.
Let me know the total cost and I’ll PayPal or wire you the moneys
You would need to send me a PM with address info and any shipping preference, etc.
The blister pack light is 10x11x4” and weighs 2.06 lbs. By themselves, one spotlight with batteries weighs 1.52 lbs and the volume is ~ 7x7x3.7”.
So 2 bare lights will fit in a medium flat rate box, 11x8.5x5.5, shipping cost is $13.60.
The large FR box is 12x12x5.5 and would only hold 1 in the blister package for $18.85.
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)
The Defiant led puck lights have 3 modes: hi, lo, and flashing strobe.
Like before the 8-pin microcontroller has the part number etched off—seems that’s their practice. There is a 20V, 2.3A P-mosfet A1SHB, and an S4 Schottky blocking diode. Makes 110 lemons and runs 8 hours on 3 AA cells, throw is 6 meters. Here is led array under the diffuser and the circuit board.
Hit up Home Depot today and No discounts on any of the Christmas special bins.
Anyone know what date they will start based on past years?
Been waiting for a post to this thread since Xmas, looking to see what deals are found.
15*F out and don’t wanna go out unless I get a deal.
No spot lights within 50 miles of me.

I hit the Harbison Blvd (in Columbia, SC) HD last night. No Christmas gift items were discounted significantly yet. I imagine they would probably have folks try to return at full price and buy back at discounted price in mass if they discount so close to Christmas.
EDIT: Gift items like drills and flashlights. Not Christmas decorations.
That whole pallet of spotlights near me is already gone, but i found another store with a pallet of 180 that they don’t know they have…good deals don’t last.
XMAS stuff around here is 50-75% off
if you live near an ACE hardware theirs is 75% off
I bought 3 spools of LED lights 300 count multi colored for $4 a spool this AM
going back in the AM to see what else I can find. I bought some of those projector spotlights from ACE for $4 as well and some giant LED snowflakes for $2
