Defiant 3-Pack 200LM XP-G2 for $ 12

[DBSAR]

I was in a HomeDepot near my work place today, and noticed 2 skids full of these Defiant 200 Lumen 3-Pack lights for an in-store sale of only 12 bucks. i grabbed a pack of them since i seen others going off with arm-fulls of these lights, ( maybe for xmas gifts
They are all aluminum, uses 3 AAA cells, (which came with the batteries included with the lights) i noticed the emitters and they looked like they were XP-G2s, but was not sure until i got them home to inspect them closer with a magnifier.
As suspected, thay are XP-G2 emitters, well centered, and with a very nice almost Neutral-White tint, smooth beam, and 3 modes. ( Hi, low, and strobe)
I did a quick tail-cap amp check on the stock batteries included, and got exactly 1 amp on high, and 0.15 amps on Low. ( should have a good run time on low.)

Cool! I can almost read their specs on the package…what do they list for runtime and throw numbers?

On the package they say 200 Lumenrs, 4 hours run time, ( i dont know if that on high or low or strobe) throw distance of 170 meters.
I just went outside, its a clear night, and the throw distance seems to be atleast 170 meters or more on high so it sounds accurate.

Three FLs in one package. GREAT!

I didn't see these yesterday at my HD. I did see the usual seasonal 2 pack of XB-D (or XP-C, or whatever they are) for $9.88 though.

Probably the three pack is CA only, but we have them in two packs in the US. At least Home Depot and/or Brinkman are smart enough to keep putting out these lights. They sell like crazy every year and they are a great light for non-flashaholics. I hope they continue to sell like crazy, so maybe they will be in the HD stores for years to come.

I can't make out the SKU on the package. Is it 1000 765 505?

EDIT: They look different then the 2 packs in the US. The tail cap is flat in the US models and I don't think they have xpg2's. They are also rated at 120 lumens on the package in the US.

Definitely different than the US 2-Pack (which is not an XP-G2 or even XP-G).

SKU is 1000 785 505. Here is the wierd thing though… i search for that number on HDs’ site, and it came up with Arrow T50 staples for that number.
I found antother number on the back near the UPC code, and a search of that got a ” No results Found”. Maybe these lights are discontinued.

Maybe these lights are discontinued.

Did the price end in a “0”… if so they are discontinued. I checked that SKU online at a dozen stores around here and came up blank. Den been hallucinating flashlights again?

I did find the 2 pack of these today, but no 3 pack. The 2pack was only 120lm. Dunno if they’re the same or not, but they look almost identical.

Home Depot got some new stuff

Stopped at HD to return the Giveaway DST and noticed they has about a dozen of new lights up front in display boxes. Flashlights, headlamps, pen lights, light sticks, etc. Mostly Defiants, but some Coastals. Most are real cheaply built lights, but a couple look interesting. One a new version of the 2 pack 3AAA O-L has modded before. Looks to be the same except in body design. Has nice knurling. The kind that grabs you back a little. Really like it. Still has the hollow pill, but I like…

[Livinloud]

whats the bar code? thats how most products are on homedepot.com, the “sku” is most likely the model number and not the sku

the price was just 12.00 even, so i guess is a discontinued design.

Thank you. It pulls up as a 60watt bulb when I try the inventory tracker for my store. Searched a little. Doesn't seem available in the US. Nice find.

I bought 2 pack of these lights, my Home Depot only got the ones 2/$10. it’s Cree XB-D LED but i like the reflector , it’s DD and look like 17mm driver could fit in there and some extra room for more 7135 chips
cut the spring at the tail, and loosen the head a little ,add adapter for 18650… voila…it became 18650 light
it is now slightly brighter than the original, too bad i can’t figure out how to take the lens off( maybe it’s glued?), 28mm fresnel lens fit in there.
