5C Defiant XM-L 625 Lumens at Home Depot

Just from the photo, the body tube looks to be a larger diameter than the 3C. I hope it's not. Knowing my HD, they will have it hidden up in the top shelves somewhere. I will have to go see if there are any. Well, maybe not. I don't have any 3C anyhow, so it would just be wishful thinking... What's that UPC code again?Sealed

When someone has time can you see if you can measure the lens diameter. Thanks.

The item # is 736-392 You can see the number in the upper right hand corner of this pic

pretty much 35 in stock at all the HDs around me

Ill try after work today to get one and report back!

thats what i thought - ill have to keep on the lookout for this one

More lumens but much less throw than the DST. Hmm….

Not enough increase in lumens to really see with your eye though. Probably more comparable to the black Friday 3C with the smaller head.

Would be cool if they can hold 26650’s (diameter wise) and fit the DST. Checked my HD, not out yet. Will probably languish up in the racks for the summer months at least.

35 at my home depot, I will try to make it out there tonight.

Remember, we went through this with the DST, if there is exactly 35 in inventory it could mean that they are not yet on the floor. Stores with <35 probably have them on display and have already sold some.

And those poor Home Depot employees are probably thinking, "Oh No! Here we go again with those crazy flashaholics!"

:)

-Garry

do you think they have had enough flashaholic purchasers to determine that there is a group of people looking for these ‘no name’ lights and spreading its specs over the internet for others to chase?

Yeah, they couldn't find any at my HD, but I do see one with 34 in stock that is a bit further away, I may try to go there tomorrow.

It seems like Defiant is trying to compete with Maglight?I wonder when will see a 6D version? :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyone buy and open one of these up yet?

Yeah, I just got one. First impressions are that it is not very mod friendly, I can easily access the LED, reflector, and lens, but so far I have been unsuccesful in getting to the driver.

scaru, can you confirm any Lego-ability between this and the ST?

No legoability what so ever, and this one is a PIA to get apart, f*cking thread locker!

Bummer on the legolessness. Thank you very much scaru for taking the risk to purchase and then reporting back to us.

So if you torched or baked to cause the plastic in the thread lock to melt, would the ano likely change color? I haven’t tried to open a thread lock light yet.

:frowning:
I was hoping ST reflector would fit. Well, at least this ought to throw with an XP-G2 on copper.
