I was back in Home Depot again to pickup another 50 LED 4AA mod host light (see thread here) and found that they are stocking a bunch more "Defiant" branded lights. They appear to have an XM-L spotlight for $24.97 rated (ANSI) at 350 lumens for 5hrs 30 mins and 300 meters. I have found it on their website here. It doesn't say XM-L anywhere, but it sure looks like an XM-L to me. It's definitely a larger emitter and not the typical small XR-E's I'm used to seeing in LED spotlights. I'd say it's too large to even be an XP-G. Took a photo of the emitter through the package the best I could. Oh, and in my haste (I was in a rush) I forgot to verify the battery type. It says "Alkaline Rechargeable Battery System" and I don't know what that means. Nor do I know if there is a user-accessible battery compartment taking AA's, C's, D's, etc . . .
Here are some photos I took:
Thought someone would be interested to try this one out. Doesn't seem bad for the price. (And I know what some of you are thinking - there's that garrybunk sending me on another wild goose chase for a light that doesn't exist at my store!)
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).
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.
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
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.
) and I have yet to see a Defiant flashlight.
