Modes: High, Low, & Strobe! LOL! Why on earth would they include strobe??!!! I’m interested in hearing more about this light (or various other similar models on GearBest).
(Now this thread is going off-topic.)
Agreed. Having a low mode is nice - I wish the Defiant light had it. But strobe? That’s idiotic unless maybe if you plan on using it as a disco light.
Also, to get back on topic: final update on that Defiant 500 lm utility light from HD: it ran for 72 hours non-stop on alkaline cells. Granted, the light output was fairly low after the first two hours or so, but still usable to find your way around in the dark, at least during the first 24-36 hours - roughly 10 lumen (guess).
I just noticed that dchomak hasn’t been on BLF for over 3 months now. Hope everything is ok with him. Unlike him not to post Home Depot deals for such a long stretch!
-No light wont work with Micro USB without batteries it does with batteries installed.
-Micro USB is for charging the 18650 batteries only
-The 4 AA NiMH are not charged with Micro USB
-USB port is supply for power bank output
-UI starts in hi, low then strobe
-I was using some batteries from a laptop pull that measure 65.MM and they fit really loose.
I like the light and I am going to try and find one without the strobe function.
Oh my, he seemed to be around less frequently. But 3 months is more than just being busy.. I sure hope he has just been pulled away by a new interest. Man, I hope he is doing ok.
I got the last 2 at the Papillion, NE store and the sales lady didn’t want to sell them to me for 1 cent. Luckily the duty manager didn’t care. I didn’t know they were a penny when I went to pay for them, else I would have done self-checkout.
I saw these on the clearance rack:
I found these at the clearance rack of more than 1 store, they have been there for a while.
BTW - there’s a Milwaukee impact in the clearance listed for $210.00, is that the lowest it’s gonna go?
