Just checked (I was at HD looking for your other light when you posted this) and mine doesn't have it. :'(
That a descent price, and it looks like an XML to me :bigsmile: but that doesnt mean very much.
Did you buy this one yet?
You know that’s coming Garry. I was at HD yesterday, none of those in my store.
The only XM-L spotlights I have seen around here are in Wal-mart, at an outrageous price.
Maybe HD is just regional when it comes to stocking things like this.
Dang scaru! That was fast! 7 minutes from post to verifying your store shelf! Did they have any "Defiant" branded lights there? Does anyone else see this "Defiant" brand in their stores?
apt323, no I didn't pick it up. I'm not really into spotlights and budget is tight right now.

My Walmart does stock the Stanley XM-L (the $50 "2000 Lumens" one).
Yeah, I have noticed with other items (typical home improvement type stuff) that they'll tell me Home Depot stocks it or I find it on their website and it's not in my local store (and my store will carry stuff not shown on their website).

I go fairly regularly (usually after one of Garry's posts 
) and I have yet to see a Defiant flashlight.
Garry - could you see the number of bars in the LED? Too hard to tell in the photo.
No defiant stuff. The flashlight selection at my HD is a couple of maglites and then those 6 volts lanterns. If I'm lucky I will sometimes see those cheap 3aaa 9 led flashlights. I might head to another HD tomorrow.
It was tough to see through the plastic case, that's why I was judging more on size. Not sure when I'll get there next.

while i was checking out the spot u found i noticed this. a little pricey, but could be duable
50 dollars for a xenon light without a battery, no thanks. :P
It seems that the HD further away from me has it so I may go and get one tomorrow. :)
There doesn’t appear to be much heat dissipation with this light, when you get it i am curious to see if they came up with something that we aren’t seeing
Will do, chances are I will also tear it apart and screw around with it until it no longer works. :D All for BLF. :p
That’s the spirit!

Got my eyes on this one…
Heatsink / cooling looks like it could be an issue though for those of us into modding.
Definitely looks like an XML though.
Is the reflector diameter bigger than the 7.6mm stanley fat max?
thanks!
Bad news guys, I went to HD and they were all out of them. I found the spot for it though. :P Hopefully someone else will be able to get their hands on one of these.
you can call and order one, just give them the sku number 574623
I sometimes call stores and ask them to do a visual check before i go there
You can check inventory @ multiple locations with this: http://sd.site88.net/homedepot.html. It’s in stock at 2/3rds of the HDs around me. Thx OP!
SKU #: 574623

Rechargeable alkaline?
Killer deal if XML, but 350 lumens (vs 2000 “lumens” of stanley one) suggests otherwise. Not too bad even if xp-g, though, since the other giant head competitor is twice the price. Still throws just as well even if hotspot is smaller.
