Flashlights seen at Walmart in Canada

This seems to be new in the last few weeks, lots of interesting lights, they use AAA, AA, C or D cells, and are somewhat underdriven (we know how to fix that at BLF)

Right click/view image to see full size, they state lumens, brightness and batteries

Sorry about the photo quality, all i had was my phone

Yeah they look pretty fun, the 5D was for sale in Canadian tire last fall, was called Little Nellie I think.

Yep, it’s the same brand as the 5D I got late last year.

Hmmm interesting.
oddly i never seen them yet at my local walmart.

this was not there about a month ago so it may show up soon

If only they'd hire better engineers and machinists instead of people to think up cutsy names.

Totally different selection state side. Our flashlight walls are covered in Dorcy, Rayovac, Energizer, Black and Decker, and Coast to name a few. Not including the universal constant of maglite.

Oh maybe these are Canada only?

It seems really strange to bring in “Police” lights. Someone consciously made the decision to brand the lights “Police” - it’s a pretty popular name by default but I don’t think that the lights already branded that way encompassed such a full range. Someone had to decide they wanted all those lights branded Police and tell a factory or two to do it. If you chose to do that why wouldn’t you go with something that could become a protected brand (Police cannot at this point) similar to Defiant or Convoy?

Maybe they don’t care about brand building and just wanted an escape hatch in a couple of directions:
A. Problems happen. It wasn’t our fault, we got the wrong “Police” branded lights!
B. Out of stock, what to do? Order random Police branded lights already made at another factory and available in quantity from some distributor.

I don’t think there’s a long term plan wight, just a distributor that signed up to sell Walmart cheep lights.

They have a decent selection, two different aspheric throwers, pen lights, keychain lights, multi aa lights and huge multi d cell flashlights. A company that makes a low to medium quality light that looks cool will thrive in Walmart but would tank on its own

Bort, that is cool how you can zoom in so clearly on that picture and then pan around it. Prices are crazy.

That was my goal, pictures of each individual one would have taken forever, i do wish i had a 8-10MP point and shoot camera with me though, it would have much better readability :slight_smile:
