US - Defiant "Super Thrower" 3C (New Model - +/-64mm Head XM-L) - Get To Home Depot Now!

You can handle it Garry! It is very easy to disassemble. I know you will beat me to it as I'm Central time and can't look at it tonight until at least 7pm CST.

Nope, that's the older model many picked up around Black Friday. This one has a HUGE head. I checked the HD website and it's not there.

Ah ok. I missed the discussion around that one then. Ugh, I might have to pick one up on my way home.

But there are none to be found

I have one pretty decent for the money but definitely not a super thrower lol

I know you can handle it!!!

I just checked the store next to my work in Charlotte NC and they didn’t have any. They did have the mag 4d replacement bi-pin bulbs though.

In a local store, it was in a small standalone cardboard aisle display near the flashlight section, but it could be placed anywhere in the store. I had to ask around and a HD worker actually located it for me.

I park in the HD lot next to work, I’ll have to check to see if they have them in stock in the morning.Thanks Garry!

Is this a glass lens or polycarbonate?

Can someone post beamshots? And pics of the internals?

This one just came out, it is NOT the one from BF and Christmas time

I don’t think I’m going to get to it very soon. Been a busy night and I’m out of the office in the field tomorrow (I must have been crazy to CHOOSE to go in the field since it’ll be 1 degree F with windchill -15F!)

You know I almost posted “this means you Rick” in my O.P. :slight_smile:

I need to return some DVD rentals I’m going to check my local HD, I have had luck using harbor freight 20% off coupons at that one before. Post back in 2 hours!

Lens is plastic, as is the reflector, which measures 55mm wide (i.d.) by 55mm deep. Just a quick shine outside and I can tell you it might not be quite as bright, but it throws as far as the HD2010! And some pics:

Sandwiched between a 2-D Mag and SF M8 - it's a big sucker

Great photos. Thanks BetweenRides :wink:

Hi, Richie! Thanks. Sorry, guys - all I have is my iPhone, which does ok for inside shots but in my experience really sucks for beamshots, especially outdoors. I'm going to leave that to someone with a decent camera.

This is definitely a cheepie light, but it's a good spend for a retail light at $23. Good to see the XM-L finally make it into some mainstream box store lights. Thanks for the heads up, Garry!

@weiser: Couldn't agree more on Maglite. I would really love to see what they can do!

@gords: This thing feels like it's made out of lead pipe. Definitely weapons grade and it would cost a fortune to ship across the pond.

Wow, that’s a howitzer of a light!

I wish it was 3xD!

i suppose a driver swap + a small spacer could make it 2x26650?
